Like you can see GTA5 is RAM bandwidth intensive, so when you record gameplay it increase RAM bandwidth consumption and cause major loss on lower memory Bandwidth cases. Only major performance loss in GTA while not recording is with only 1 stick of RAM which has only 12GB/s Bandwidth against 24GB/s of 2 sticks in dual channel. ====================================================== These are results from Fraps benchmark while no recording: 1600MHZ 2x8gb i7 4ghz GTA5 Custom Higher Quality: Frames: 5061 - Time: 103921ms - Avg: 48.700 - Min: 36 - Max: 62 Custom Medium Quality: Frames: 8234 - Time: 100125ms - Avg: 82.237 - Min: 64 - Max: 100 Custom Lower Quality: Frames: 9560 - Time: 101172ms - Avg: 94.493 - Min: 70 - Max: 117 ===================================================== 2400MHZ cl 10-12-12-31 2x8gb / i7@4ghz: GTA5 Custom Higher Quality: Frames: 5449 - Time: 106500ms - Avg: 51.164 - Min: 39 - Max: 64 Custom Medium Quality Frames: 8894 - Time: 101188ms - Avg: 87.896 - Min: 70 - Max: 106 Custom Lower Quality: Frames: 10117 - Time: 102375ms - Avg: 98.823 - Min: 73 - Max: 126 ====================================================== 1600mhz 1x8gb cl 9-9-9-24 / i7@4.2ghz: GTA5 Custom Lower Quality Frames: 8108 - Time: 100031ms - Avg: 81.055 - Min: 56 - Max: 113 Custom Higher Quality: Frames: 5114 - Time: 105500ms - Avg: 48.474 - Min: 39 - Max: 61 ================================================== 1600mhz 2x4gb cl 9-9-9-24 / i7@4.2ghz: GTA5 Custom Lower Quality: Frames: 9458 - Time: 98171ms - Avg: 96.342 - Min: 71 - Max: 120 Custom Higher Quality: Frames: 5041 - Time: 101875ms - Avg: 49.482 - Min: 39 - Max: 64 "The Lift" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
