Recording Minecraft With Dxtory

[HadiKiwan]

Hello guys and girls!

I kind of have an issue here. I usually play Minecraft at highest settings with FPS ranging between 400 and 500.
When I click the record button on Dxtory, my game FPS drops to 28-29; not higher and not lower. The thing is, I record more graphic-intensive games at 200FPS (CSGO-Arma3)
I use the TestAMFVFW encoder (OpenVideoVFW for Catalyst Control Center 15.7.1+)
I tried allocating more RAM into my Minecraft and I set the priority in task manager to Realtime. I also set the priority for Dxtory to Realtime. My write speed is 203 MB/s.
I tried choosing the lowest settings in Minecraft video settings.
I tried using different codecs and I still get 28-29 FPS. I have my FPS set to 30. I have not chosen the 'Synchronize Video FPS'
My GPU is AMD Radeon R9 M290X 4GB.
I have 16GB RAM.
My CPU is Intel Core i7-4710MQ @ 2.50 GHz (Eight Cores)
I am using Windows 10.

Can I please have some help?

I don't recommend leaving a program with real-time affinity... leave it on high. Also in Dxtory settings, the advanced tab, set the processor threads to 8. Also you running the latest GPU drivers?

if your having problems recording it might have something to do with your output settings... even so i recommend maybe changing your recording tool
try using Open Broadcasting

I have already set the processing threads to 8. Yes, I do have the latest GPU drivers. May I ask why it is not recommended to leave a program set to real-time affinity?
By the way, the thing is, I get really high frames but when I hit record it drops to 28-29 FPS. That's what I need help with.

I tried using OBS but I feel that Dxtory is much faster and has a wider variety of options. I do you use it to livestream though.

Have you already changed your computer from "Balanced" to "High Performance" in your power settings?
It sounds SO dumb but I accidentally did that and I was having a lot of problems with what is actually very good hardware.
