Fraps better in DirectX?

[Approach_Medium]

Hi;
I just learned, quite by accident that I can get about 5fps better with Fraps (ver 3.3.0) taking a movie when TS2010_SP3 is in DirextX mode compared to OpenGL mode.

Every little thing helps on my old dog of a system. Only problem is that in DirectX mode, I get those blue squares that don't fill in. I guess I have to take my pick. If I want to make a movie, I have to focus on one area (where there are no blue squares), but if I want better long distance visibility, I need to use OpenGL mode.

Thank you, FW. That's good to know. I'm sure this will make a difference no matte what kind of horsepower we have.
