20 FPS while recording

Recording requires CPU power (more so in case of compression) and harddrive write speed (moreso in case of lossless format).

- In case you record with fraps/dxtory do you set it to a lossless format?

Try measuring your writespeed of the hardrive using dxtory. In case it is very low try removing some files and perform a defrag.

Download "speedfan" and check your CPU temperature when recording. In case it is very high you could clean your CPU fan, as that might bring temperatures down and remove lag. Before you start cleaning it, unplug the power to your computer. Grab ahold of your computer case and keep your hand at the endpoint of your vaccum cleaner to remove the possibility of a static discharge.
