Reducing The Performance Hit

[LtMatt]

Any tips for reducing the performance hit of recording? I game at 1440P and currently use the MP4 AMD APP option to record. I notice sometimes the gpu usage drops quite low whilst recording.

2700k@4.8gh\z
2x290 in crossfire
16gb DDR3 2133mhz
250GB SSD

MP4 or AVI?

With 2x R290 you shouldn't be able to notice that Action is recording..

- Are your recording Harddrive fast enough (assuming its not your SSD)
- Have you tried disabling Crossfire ?

AMD has notorious problems with frame pacing and in some cases with CrossFire - Try lowering your GFX quality so that you ALWAYS have more than 60 or 70 FPS..

Also, enable VSYNC.. it's much better when recording to have it enabled !

MP4 or AVI.

Can you give me some recommended settings to try for best performance?

I have a 250GB Samsung 840 Basic SSD so not sure that is the problem.

I use vsync already. The problem is the fps dropping low. Nothing wrong with AMD frame pacing, works wonderfully so its not that. Microstutter is a thing of the past for AMD these days.
