I hope you are not one of those DAU. Use GeForce experience and let it set the settings for the game if it already has in in the database end modify it downwards using the slider until it is good enough if you need to. If not and you have ArmA 2 let it choose those settings and set them manually for the SA.

 

Fraps or any other video cap software is always taxing on hardware. It's mostly a HDD issue though. In my experience Fraps is on the lower end of the ladder, i use Bandicam now. Try 720p for recording and 30fps usually is enough unless you have as much storage space as the NSA.

 

As resoultion suggests you should go with the native resolution of the monitor to get the most out of it, would be stupid to go 4:3 on a 16:9 monitor. I don't know if it's true but i read about a rumor if you do anything else that is not native or at least in the same ratio as your monitor it uses up more resources.

HA! Noone will even understand that, I'm afraid.

 

 

What makes you think Fraps isn't that good, if I may ask?

HA! Noone will even understand that, I'm afraid. Google is our friend, with windows 8.1 even a DAU should know how to use internet by now. :)

Otherwise you reall have to do this with them.

 

It's not that it's bad it just doesn't work with every setup like ArmA does. A buddy with an ATI setup does quite well with it while mine works better with Bandicam but then again unless i can verify how many fps he really gets i don't know what he claims to be "enough fps" for him, but i think enough that he can play it fluently even in towns ( 35+fps ). I had significant frame drops with fraps and the compression wasn't that good either. Both reasons to look for an alternative.
