Solved youtube help needed- recording videos

[Charles Meekins]

hi i have been trying to record some mugen (fighting type game) videos for a couple of weeks and i try to record at 30fps and it always drops to about 17fps, help

i have 16gb of ram (which my laptop says 15gb is usable?) so my laptop specs should not be an issues

i have also tried many different programs like fraps, bandicam and dxtory and all have the same problem

i have also tried to record to the laptops hard-drive as well as my 1tb portable one and i also just bought a new 3.0 usb 2tb one as well and no luck

i did read that someone with only 6gb of ram fixed their problem (similar to mine) by splitting their ram 4gb and 2gb but i don't really know what that means or how to do it

please, if you could help that be great

what min specs should i be looking for then?

It really depends on what your budget is. Go to pcpartpicker and have a look at some other builds. They have gaming builds that range there from 600-4000

PC Specialist are good.

ok but i don't think i would be able to put it together myself (i mean i have done in the past - long long ago)

also as mentioned before have a old old desktop (hardly use in last 2/3 years) would it be worth trying that first as i don't have enough money saved up to buy a custom gaming pc yet (i'll start saving and i'm getting $0.96 for january so every little helps lol)

Have you tried using OBS? t is free and very useful for all types of games and there is a bunch of tutorials online and on youtube for when you get stuck!

I got one through ironside computers. If you had a small budget like me, they are your best bet.

I got the Minion basic. However, I got it without a CD Drive and got a 1TB HD instead. I saved some money by removing things I didn't need, like the CD Drive among a couple of other things.

I freaking love the computer. It takes 15 days for them to ship it out since they hand build your PC, run tests and ship it via USPS.
