Smart people of the interwebs! I need yout help. I am trying to record minecraft! When I play it I get around 300 fps give or take some. When I record (fraps) I get 60 fps which I dont mind buttttt. Ingame it feels like in lagging like if I were playing at 20 fps but I checked my fps in my game and it says 60 so it shouldnt really lag right? When I look back at the footage you can notice it a little bit. I have 2 hard drives one runs windows the others just for random stuff also recording. I need help on fixing this please!
My specs are:
Intel core i3 4160 @ 3.60 GHz
Geforce GTX 750 ti
8 GB RAM
My monitor is at 60 hz 1920 by 1080
2 1tb hdds

Also when I play at 60 fps while not recording its really smooth

Fraps kinda sucks, it's really old and doesn't work great.

What are the RPMs of your hard drives? it's good you have 2, because you want to dedicate one for recording, but it still needs to be decent, like 7200RPMs or more, the cheaper drives are only like 5400RPMs and aren't fast enough for programs or heavy disk writes like recordings.

Either way, you should be able to record minecraft at 60 fps with your computer, i can easily with mine: https://youtu.be/98MRU_5T-0w
(Give it an hour or two after this reply for it to be uploaded properly.)

You can try OBS since it's free:

To set it up for recordings:
1. go to settings
2. go to encoding
3. click the Nvidia NVENC button
4. Make sure Use CBR is turned on
5...


Your processor is probably getting overwhelmed. Are you using shadowplay?
 
I get that as well and have yet to find the cause of it (i use bandicam). Try Shadowplay and see if it will record it properly.

Another option is to use something like Optifine and set the resolution to 1280x720 and record a 720p video. It seems like recording is stealing frames from the game. As if every other frame is missing. Minecraft is the only game I have found that has this issue. It could be an OpenGL thing. I don't know.
 
No im using Fraps which locks my fps at 60 which i dont mind 60 is smooth
i tied using shadowplay when i first built my pc it would allow me but once i installed the newest drivers thorugh geforce experience it wont allow me to use shadowplay its just grayed out
i used to use dxtory and it didnt do that but i went to try it with dxtory and it does it aswell
 
Somewhere in GFE you can see whether you meet minimum requrements for different stuff, one beeing shadowplay. See what it sais there. What it states doesn't comply with the requirements is probably what's holding you back in other software aswell.
As a sidenote, have you tried with Vsync and tripple buffering on?

1. go to settings
2. go to encoding
3. click the Nvidia NVENC button
4. Make sure Use CBR is turned on
5. Make sure Enable CBR Padding is turned off
6. Set your Max Bitrate (Kb/s) to your upload max upload speed. You'll want like 8000 or more though, this affects the visual quality of the video partly. (1mbps = 1000 kbps, www.speedtest.net)
7. go to Video and set the FPS to 60
8. Go to Advanced
9. Turn Use Multithreaded Optimizations on
10. Set NVENC Preset to High Quality
11. Set Encoding Profile to Main
12. Turn Use CFR on.

And try recording it should be at 60 FPS now.

You should check inside GFE itself(there are otehr requirement except GPU). Anyway, are you sure you don;t just need to turn it on(big button or something)?
If that's not it, i would do a clean reinstall of the latest drivers.
