Stutters in Shadowplay, DXTory, Plays TV, Afterburner, but FRAPS is fine

Hi all. For a while now I have been getting stutters in the video captures done with Shadowplay. These are random hiccups with maybe a second or two (varies) in-between.

This happens in Shadowplay, DXTory, Plays TV and Afterburner. I haven't bothered to try any more.

I have checked the output videos in both WMP and VLC Player, and the problem is in the captured files apparently.

The funny thing is: FRAPS produces flawless butter smooth footage (60 fps at half size)! And that produces uncompressed files. All the other ones uses compression by default (as far as I know).

So what exactly could be the problem here? Is there something bad happening during the compression itself? Is there a problem when writing (during recording) the compressed files to my other SSD? Has my overclocked (@ 4.4 Ghz) i7 started to act up? Is it a memory issue?

I am really at a loss here, so any insight or even speculation will be appreciated.

Btw, the recordings were done with vsync on at 60Hz.

Are you always using the Nvidia encoder or are you also using CPU based ones for the other programs? Fraps afaik only does CPU while the others can support the GPU encoding. That might be part of it. Other is storage might be causing some issue?

Obviously compressed files will use more CPU and memory if they aren't using the GPU. Have you tried it at stock
