Recording in DayZ

[On Holiday]

I've a 3820, 16gb RAM, GTX 680 and recording to SSD but still can't achieve over 40fps in low settings 1920x1080 on DayZ

Recommendations?

What program to use/settings etc.

What are those HD PVR things like?

I followed this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw6YAoai8fQ, i can record at 1920x1080 with almost no fps drop. Got 2500k at 4.5Ghz and a HD6870, With DayZ you get better FPS with high settings because it will use the graphics card and not the CPU to do the work.

Try Ut Video Codec instead of Lagarith

Dxtory and Lagarith Codec
As said above, play on High settings as you will probably get better FPS than on low as low settings forces the game to use the CPU instead of the GPU.

Alright, just tried Dxtory etc, but nothing comes up when I start the game? What have I missed?

I have the same problem. It detects the game when it is running but no display / recording.

Edit: just read it can be caused by using an afterburner overlay, not tested tho.

Yeah I'm also using MSI Afterburner. Will have to find an alternative gfx card fan control program if it does turn out that MSI is the problem :/

Are you recording to the drive you're playing on? If so this affects performance even on an SSD.

 

[On Holiday]

Tried recording to SSD and HDD, noticed no difference so left it recording to SSD so it's quicker to edit.

 

[On Holiday]

Yeah, can confirm that MSI Afterburner is the reason Dxtory wouldn't launch ingame. Had to set "Application detecting level" to None.

Have to say Dxtory + Lagarith is amazing, the fact that it records multiple audio streams is amazing

Why don't you just use afterburner to record?

I use it When recording and have no noticeable fps drop...
