[quote]I was able to record with latest Fraps set at Half-Size, 30fps, recording audio.

WOW... when i record(fraps 3.03) half size and no sound, my fps go down to 11 :(


Yea mine does as well or around 15 but the play back is smooth it is weird

But again the only way I can record Dirt2 with Fraps is during a replay. There is no way I can record while playing it just will not let me. The minute I hit the key to start recording it just freezes and the game just closes.

i5 @ 3.78, Win7x64, 2x 5870, CF, EF 5760x1080, 9.12 Hotfix

0xMSAA, Ultra Preset, 56.4 / 43.3
2xMSAA, Ultra Preset, 52.6 / 40.6

0xMSAA, High Preset, 56.9 / 44.3
2xMSAA, High Preset, 53.5 / 42.3

I have several different benchmarks

everything set high ultra when possible. everything maxed out to the hilt

Here is the results of the"ultra benchie".

I started off by maxing everything out. High post processing . I had to back down 4 X MSAA instead of 8X because I couldn't even navigate the menu @ 9 FPS. I also had to reduce the Vehicle Reflections from Ultra to High.

5870 X 2 CF

4 X MSAA
High post processing
everything that could go to Ultra except Vehicle Reflections( reduced to high)
the rest on High.

Basically, I was able to complete the race. but the game was unplayable as you can see from the (0 Min) it was freezing on and off and very sporadic .

I'm pleased with the being able to play with high settings and at least 4Xaa. at such a high resolution .

But.......... I really feel that for having 5870 X 2 I should be getting more for my money

I'm now going to try my GTX 285 @ 1920 X 1200 . results to follow

I meant that Fraps is set to capture at 30fps. When i run the record feature, the FPS drops by about 8 frames. Though the .avi playback is still at 30fps, and looks as such.

Are you able to record while playing the game. Or do you record replays. I can't record while playing it just crashes, I can only record a replay.

Which setting makes the mud stick to your window when you go through water?

I had it once, but now it just looks like rocks bouncing off my windshield
