I’m running two 7970s so I can play the game at 2560x1440 on Ultra but no matter what resolution I use, even 1280x720, I get horrible frame rates when using FRAPS or dxtory, usually under 20fps. I’ve tried using 1/4 res for both software and it doesn’t help. I’m using the latest beta drivers, if that matters.

Does anybody else with crossfire have advice on how to get smooth recordings going?

Now I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure you need a bitching processor in order to record video at high FPS. I have the same problem as you (although I’m only running one 7970) with an AMD Phenom 2 3.40ghz processor and I can’t record high FPS at all. Also I’ve found that FRAPS, although good, hogs resources like no other. Anyway I hope that helps. If I’m wrong I apologize, but that’s what I’ve gleaned from the research I’ve done.

Your maxing your pc with bf4, then on top you are trying to record hd video. Gonna be very system taxing.

I have an i7 2600k overclocked to 4.8 ghz with hyperthreading enabled. It’s pretty bitching but with all the crazy physics in multiplayer I’m pretty sure the game already taxes it.
