Try downloading and using Afterburner 2.2.0 beta 8, Its what I use and it will not stress your frame rate like Fraps does. Whats your EA game tag scar?


Im gonna have to agree with that I just did a test using the RE5 benchmark since it has its own on screen FPS. I lost about 40 FPS using Afterburner and almost 80 using FRAPS. Also just based on fan noise Afterburner is alot easier on the system. I couldnt hear a difference running it, but when I run FRAPS it sounds like a jet taking off.

Cool, you PC runs it no problem, Was surprised at that huge drop in FPS on both programs, I can get up to a 40 fps drop when I turn on fraps mid game, but when I do it with Afterburner, even with recording settings at full quality and a high frame rate capture, I get 0 drop in game frame rate when I turn on afterburner record. I wonder why you are getting a drop with afterburner and I do not, maybe because it was used during a benchmark? I have not tried it during a benchmark before. Maybe Ill try that some time.

A couple of reasons for the difference between our results come to mind. Your vid card is pretty much the best on the market right now, other than maybe the 5970 there isnt one with more power and mine is a couple levels below that. Also RE5 is a very GPU intensive game, you can actualy run RE5 on a single core sempron 1.4Ghz if you have a decent card (I got just under 30 when it first came out on a 1.4Ghz with 1.5GB RAM and HD3650 512mb). So I wouldnt be surprised if its results will be different from a game that relies more on raw clock power. I dont think being a benchmark would cause to much difference since its actual gameplay and its meant to see how you should have your settings for best performance. I was also running 1920x1080 (max res) and had all the graphic settings to highest quality and AA set to 2x which will play a factor in the results, Im sure if I turn off AA and drop the res it would give less of a bump when recording. And If I enable Overdrive and Hybrid that would make a huge difference as well, I just wanted to see how it did solely on my GPU.

Parking the small helicopter inside the Enemy carrier, also, an easy way to dominate the enemy naval air command.

Thats awesome dude, This is the first game I have payed full price for in years, and have got enough (and continue to get) enjoyment that I do not think I over payed. I usually borrow/trade games with family but had a little extra cash and had an itch that could not wait.

So have you been playing it at all yet? How you liking it?
