Resource Problems (in most games) & no game mode in MWLL

[slash621]

Morning Everyone,

I have 2 separate issues. But first here are my specifications.

Windows 7 64bit

AMD Phenom II x4 945 @ 3.0ghz
4gb DDR2-800
Gigabyte 460GTX 1GB Nvidia card
Intel X-25M G2 SSD 80GB
Hitachi 1TB 7200RPM SATA HDD

Comcast 100mbps Internet with speedtest.net score of
5ms
76.20 Down
29.44 Up

Issue 1:
Using Game mode with "optimized game quality" procaster takes almost 60 % CPU and makes it impossible to run a game to actually record due to lack of performance. Normally I have no issues with the machine in general, most games like Crysis I'm getting 45-50 fps with minimal CPU usage (25-50%) and global agenda (all options enabled) 100+ fps.

While I can get a smooth recording by putting the audio to mono and 12kbps and the video to 360x240 I'd prefer not to record at all with those specs.

Issue 2:

I cant seem to Record inside Mechwarrior Living Legends (A Crysis Wars mod)in game mode. It will work in screencast mode, but I'm hoping I can run game mode to save some performance and assist with issue 1.

Let me know what you need to know to assist me.

Thanks!
