DayZ Recording with Dxtory, bad FPS

Recommended Posts

Hello! i have a problem! when i try to record with dxtory on dayz i get FPS drop sometime! its drop quit often bellow 30 FPS and i do want more! I have Western digital HDD, MSI GTX680, I7-3770k, RAM 16GB DDR3, MSI Z77 MPower. But to the question! will the FPS go higher if i take my OS and dayz + arma over to a SSD hard drive and record on the OS SSD? or record on the HDD? i have bought Samsung SSD 840 PROSeries 128GB Is that a good choice?

just record the footage to an SSD while running arma 2 of an HDD

its always better to record to an ssd if u want to have high fps and high quality, because that combination requires very high write speeds

30fps@1080p is about 150-200mb/s which can only be achieved by ssd, or very good hdd

30 fps is great haha. It is still playable, 12 is when you can't play.... Try turning off v sync

his system should give him way more than 30 fps even when recording

I am actual talkin about the FPS of the recording! not FPS when im playing :P i record videos and get 40-80FPS in dayz(Taviana) (sometime drops bellow 30) and in the dxtory recording i get 30 but drops quit often! im thinking about also record videos in 60fps so i can record slow motion too Edited by norsk2277

im the slow motion expert here lawl (check signture)

that was recorded using dxtory, quite a while ago. but its really not what i woudl have used today

i ve found so many ways to have the highest possible fps of recorded footage and quality at the same time

one thing though

dxtory wont do the trick (unless u have some really beast pc specs)

pm me for more info

What codec are you using? Codec has a big effect on how your game runs while recording.

Best one's I've heard so far are the x264 codec and the Lagarith codec which is what JackFrags uses, and I now use. It's a very good quality and you don't lose many frames either.

Moving dayz and arma 2 over to your SSD won't do much, but recording onto your SSD will do. Having a fast hard drive is key to recording at a high frame rate.

When i run into cherno in dayz the FPS in video drops down to 24fps, is that bad? have anyone tested the PICVideo codec for dxtory?

Maybe using other software would help. OBS works great for me on StarCraft II and DayZ when I stream, but I turn down the quality for lag since my PC sucks. I had used dxtory before and it never cooperated with me, not a fan of it,

Does OBS record in full HD?

Make sure you haven't checked the setting in dxtory that limits recorded FPS. In mine it displays the actual FPS and recorded FPS I have mine set to 30 and it looks tops

I'm not sure, I can't do it in HD because my PC can't handle it so I never really checked, but I think so.
