fraps problem...

[piddlefoot]

lm running 2.5.5 fraps, regestered , its run perfect on the AMD 3200+ in games like bfv , half life and battlefield 2 , bf2 fraps at 10 to 30 fps on the 3200+, so l installed fraps into my AMD fx55 [ a better chip ! ] and it seems to frap [ record mode ] at 4 and 5 fps every time, lve tryed half size and a few other tricks, but it cant even do what the 3200+ can do under the same conditions , so , lm leaning towards a cpu technical possibly in the bios, to fix it, but im at a dead end as to do what next, lve even tryed stopping side band addressing to the cpu ! no work...
So have any of you out there had this problem ?
Does anyone have an AMD fx55 ? Can you install fraps and see what fps you record at ?

fx55 has sata hard disc scsi x2 on raid 0 [performance ], 2 gigs of pc3200 ram, x800xt,
the
3200+ ,sata x2 raid 0, 1.5 gig pc3200 ram, x800pro...

bfv 3200+ frapped at 40 to 50 fps

bfv fx55 frapped at 4 and 5 fps ...

ANY IDEAS ?

Oh man do we get ripped with viid cards, anyways 64 bit gunna change alota graphical stuffs, but l still duno about pce=e, it seems a bit much for 32 bit when they could have achieved it a different way, l went from nividea 2 years ago , l still buy em on e bay but l buy ATI cards new now well since the releaseof the x800pro, and lve never seen a card like it, l got a second pro cheap and clocked it out to xtpe specs , it didnt like it and the memory had to be clocked back, ,l went and bought the xt model, very nice card sapphire, the others are asus, lve found ati to be more user friendly, there tools are awsome for overclocking, but in saying that lve not owned a 6800 ultra pci=e, lm on agp slot, lve had a look at a 3.4 with 2 pci=e cards and in bfv it had a lousy 10 fps more than mine, they were gt6800s, l did have more ram in that test, all things said nividea seem to be a pinch ahead in shader tech, but l believe the ati x800 or x850 range is a better card for rendering bit surfaces and textures, and with v sinc in bfv and settings at max ,mine loves it, cant wait to see what next year brings with 64 bit , l have a feeling its all gunna change again.............soon..................

I see your communication skills have improved. anyway, i don't know what is wrong. also, you should upgrade to the latest version. that might help.

i dont see any hardware bottlenecks, what resolution are you trying to record?

If you are using the official version, you can always upgrade fraps for free. There are bug fixes related to half-size performance in the latest release.

Fraps is disk storage performance based. The big bottle neck is exactly which drive is storing your fraps videos. Also, I would turn off half-size if it is on, it causes Fraps to do more work for a worse quality end result.

l shall try a fresh hard drive.

a fresh drive with only a fraps raw footage folder in it hasnt made a difference, this things still frapping at 5 fps.....could my windows be corrupted ?
