Fraps Questions

[Thunderer]

When I'd start recording with fraps on my old computer (single core, 1.69 GHz (Intel Celeron); 768 MB of RAM; 76 GB total hard disc space; Windows XP), my game would just stop at one frame and stand still for an hour. Or 5 minutes, I don't know. Didn't wait for longer than 5.

My new computer has a dual Intel Celeron CPU, each core 2.6 GHz; 3.22 GB or RAM (due to the 32-bit OS); a few hundred GB of hard disc memory; Windows 7 Professional. The graphical card is Intel HD (doesn't say which one), the only additional information I know is that it's Direct X 11. Will I be able to record a battle of, let's say, 20 ships for 20 minutes?

The game froze on your old PC probably because it couldn't handle both the game and fraps. But it should works well on your new setup.

For comparison, I'm using
Win7
Dual core 1.8 intel
2gig os ram
Nvidia Graphics with 1gb ram

And it works pretty well on my system. I am able to record 720hd 30fps with no problem.

tl;dr: It will work. Go for it

Fraps records at a lossless AVI, so you need a good RAM and HDD to record.

you got onboard graphics, itll be better if you had a real gfx card, the best you can get, and if you can install a 2nd hard drive get fraps to record to that and not you main c drive (windows, never let c drive go under 15% free)

eg im running win 7 64 bit, 2 10000 rpm drives, 780 ti, recording bf3/4 at 1080 at 60-80 fps
