Okay, before I reformatted I got pretty decent FPS when recording all the time.
After I reformatted I can record fraps for about 5 minutes at 50 FPS (Full size @ 1280 x 1024) with no audio, I'm able to play as if it's not running at all except for a stutter every 2 minutes or so (Guessing due to a new file)
Anyway, after 5-10 minutes the FPS drops to 20 and the in game FPS goes amazingly bad, rendering it impossible to play. If I turn fraps off after that, the game quality is the same as it always is.
The HDD is very new, purchased just a few days ago. WD 500 GB Sata.
What's causing my FPS to drop so low? It's fine until then, there's no other events triggering it (I'm not alt tabbing or running another app)
