Question about fraps...

Not sure if this belongs here...if it doesn't no harm was intended just have a quick question about FRAPS.

I'm trying to make a new montage, however, I'm having troubles with in game lag. Every time I hit the hotkey for my FRAPS to start recording, the game begins to lag and slow down. I realize this is a framerate issue. I need to know how do I know what framerate to set FRAPS to when recording Combat Arms. Any help will be greatly appreciated as well as names in the thanks section of the montage.

Thank you and have a nice day,

Pwn

That's typical and bound to happen unless you possess some godly video card and you're running on a great ISP. To counter it though make sure you're using the least taxing settings in Combat Arms. Also try changing the settings in Fraps to half-size, lower the frame rate to 28 or so, and try not to leave it running for too long.
