Windows 7 64 bit

8 gigs of ram
SSD
I installed THESE codacs.
In order for me to record without my computer freezing, I checked virtual dub hack. More info on what this does would be appreciated. I'm forced to log off if this isn't enabled cause it will freeze windows once I hit stop or pause.
My recording settings
1920 x 1080p
60fps
H264
Ultra fast, Fast Decode checked, Zero Latency checked.
Audio is set to 444100Hz and I used pcm. The recording turns out pretty good. Quality is excellent. Unfortunately when recording, my performance while I'm gaming takes a hit. My question is why?? when my gpu load is only at 30% and my cpu load is at 40%. Had plenty of free memory left on the ram as well. Which means something else is taking a hit but what is it? I feel like I should be able to have smooth play while recording but that's not the case.
My guess is it may be my SSD? Below are my results with Crystal Disk Mark for testing my hardrive speed:
