Hey everyone! I have updated Bandicam to the latest version and most of my games record just fine with 0 fps drop. But so far, I've noticed Rage and GTA V have a huge fps drop when I press record. GTA V goes from 60 - 70 fps all the way down to 45fps with noticeable input lag. Rage jumps from 60fps to 33fps. What's going on? I am on the latest version of windows 10 with the most recent nvidia drivers installed.
What I've tried
Reinstalling graphics drivers
Updating operating system
Changing game resolution
Changing bandicam priority mode
Enabling and disabling enhanced capture modes and 'skip recording if frame is not updated'
Changing the fps from VBR to CBR
Using presets offered by bandicam
Compatibility mode for both the game and bandicam
Playing games in windowed, borderless windowed and full screen
Probably other things I've forgotten about
Heck I even tried downloading the NVIDIA CUDA codec that bandicam supplies a link for and changing between gpu + cpu and gpu only for recording / encoding. I've tried everything... Doesn't matter what codec I use, what settings I use, it's irrelevant. Rage and GTA V have a horrible drop in frame rate. Yes 33 fps and 45 fps is playable. but #1 I'd like to play my games in 60fps while recording. #2 the frame drop causes a large input lag.
The other thing is since I use adobe premiere. I want to use the Nvidia Nvenc codec with h.264. Reason being, if I use any other codec, then video does not play back smoothly in the editor, making it a horrendous mess to try and edit the content. Also when using the Nvenc codec, I have to use the .mp4 container instead of .avi. Otherwise Premiere will not import the file and gives an error. But as I mentioned above, the codec and bandicam settings don't seem to matter. It will lag and cause a huge fps drop in gtav and rage regardless of what is done. This also happened on windows 8.1 just before the installation of windows 10. If anything windows 10 actually increased my frame rate.
Please help!
system specs
cpu: i7 4770 4.0ghz
gpu: gtx 760 3gb
Monitor: 2560 x 1080 (21:9 anamorphic resolution, changing to 16:9 does not help reduce my problem either)
ram: 12gb standard system memory
HDD: 2tb HD 7500rpm
appreciate the help from anyone who can supply it!
Edit: ~~~~ This is also happening with Sanctum 2 and Black Ops II. But nvidia shadowplay records fine with zero fps drop. Only issue is with shadowplay I can't adjust microphone audio to record to an individual wav file, and games have to be in full screen. Also shadowplay doesn't pick up dolphin emulator, but bandicam does.
