Question / Help Excessive dropped frames when recording locally.

[Meraxes]

Not streaming. Only trying to record Dota 2 on 1080p. No problems playing the game on all high settings. Not getting any dropped frames in game. But recording logs would always show 40-60%+ dropped frames. Output video would come up laggy and unwatchable even after tweaking some of the settings and even sacrificing resolution to 720p. I have a fairly decent rig and im sure it could do 1080p recording. Need help. TIA.
