Hey everyone. I've been trying to record some Titanfall gameplay and I'm gettng pretty bad frame drops. It always happens the most when there's Titans on screen. If I'm in a Titan fighting other Titans, sometimes it looks like the framerate drops to like 15fps. This is only in the encoded video, not while I'm playing the game, it says at a constant smooth 60fps. My specs are:

• Intel Core i5-2310
• Radeon HD 7970
• Windows 8.1
• Recording to separate internal 7200rpm 80GB sata drive

I've tried using Quick Sync and AMD APP, but both give massive frame drops. AMD APP seems better than Quick Sync, but it still happens every time. I have the quality set to high and 100%, and I've tried lowering the quality slider to 70% with no change. I haven't tried setting the quality to medium yet, does any think that might help? So far this seems to be the only game where this happens. Any tips will be appreciated.

What graphic settings are you using in-game?

It might simply be that your GPU simply runs out of memory when high detailed titan appears on screen so it needs to offload some of the content on screen to RAM due high usage of VRAM. I'm not familiar with how Action! works and how it stores the recorded frames or does it use VRAM for storing the frames before encoding them to HD.

Maybe dev can enlight a bit?

Thanks for the reply. I have pretty much everything maxed out except texture quality is on high. I've read that when texture quality is set to ultra it requires the full 3GB of vram, and even though my card has that, I also read some people with 3GB vram still have slowdown anyways, so I don't bother. As I mentioned the game itself never dips below 60fps, just the recording, but if Action does us VRAM while it's recording then I could see why it happens I guess. I'll try lower settings
