ssd for fraps 1080p 60fps

[XenatR]

hi all

current setup:
Phenom 955 @ 3.9Ghz
Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3
Samsung Green 2x4gb VLP
HD 7770
primary: OCZ Agility 3 120gb
secondary: Samsung 320gb 7200.10

computer parts i will buy:
i7-4770k
Asrock Z87 Extreme4 matx
new 256 primary SSD
(use the ocz 120 for recording)

need: record games with fraps at 1080p 60fps

playback i have noticed:
recording 1080p 30fps to the same, primary sdd = smooth
recording 1080p 60fps to the same, primary sdd = less smooth
recording 1080p 60fps to the secondary hdd = horrible

i have tested my current OCZ drive, and as ssd benchmark says my seq write is 112mb/s ._.

seems rather slow... would this speed improve on sata III? also, is it fast enough for writing at 1080p 60fps, or will i need a faster drive to record to??

the primary ssd i was looking at getting is the Toshiba 256gb (19nm mlc nand)

If you wipe that OCZ it might get close to its original speed. It would also benefit from Sata 3, but not a whole lot.

that cpu might not be enough for 1080p60 anyway... im a streamer on twitch and fps takes a huge hit

Just pick up Dxtory that would be the recorder needed for utilizing read/write speeds on an SSD

I think more cores helps with this too. I remember a fairly popular video talking about AMD vs Intel while streaming and gaming, and AMD's (more cores) helped keep smoother frame-rates. Will try and find video

Edit; Video;

You can do 1080p at 60fps on any of the 180GB+ sandforce SSD's. You can adjust your settings to capture at 1080p on a harddrive as well depending on the codec you want to use.

This guide is pretty good to help you capture in h264 with minimal cpu usage. RAW cap is what will kill your write speed and will fill your ssd up in minutes.

ok guys.. actually capturing the 60fps video, whether to the sdd, or hdd, yields smooth as silk uncompressed video. but when compressing to 60fps wmv, its FAR choppier than 30... its as if the game is running at 10fps

is this a cpu problem??

also, mp4 vs wmv.. wmv looks more like the original recording, whereas the mp4 codec adds a lot of contrast... how do i remove this.. it looks horrible

needless to say, slow compressing is not a hard drive problem

It's your compression software.

ANY compression is going to reduce image quality.

I'd use handbrake and use some custom high quality compression settings
