Ok, I just figured out I could finally record Minecraft without any fps lost by using Shadowplay, problem is we have to start the recording on the desktop for it to work once the game is in fullscreen you can't start the recording, only stop it, so that brings me to the biggest problem I didn't want to go, editing the videos quickly (read the word twice I say quickly here, don't wanna have to leave my PC for 3-4hrs because of rendering, already will take forever to load it to youtube which I'll do during the night so my PC wouldn't be able to render the videos during the night either, it will be youtube upload time) and without loosing any quality of it. Tried windows Movie Maker, this is totally useless software, destroy the video quality, a 836mb superb quality video mp4 turned into a 98mb .wmv which was horrible.[/p]
Also, I want a freeware easy to use solution that doesn't have any spywares, adwares, crapwares, virus or rancomwares in them.[/p]
Please can anyone help me out, finally I got a PC that can allow me to become a famous youtuber (PewDiePie and SkydoesMinecraft can be scared of me this time, I'm coming to the top)[/p]

I recommend not using shadowplay for minecraft. Shadowplay is for DirectX games and not OpenGL. There are plenty of free recording software like OBS or FRAPS. Also, do NOT render to .wmv It looks horrible. Render to 720p at 30FPS and use .mp4 . Using these settings will speed up rendering time by quite a bit, and if it takes hours to render, get another 4 or 8GB of ram. It will greatly decrease rendering time. (I can render a 10 minute video in 15 minutes in 720p)

Sorry, I will never ever use Fraps, maybe OBS but if I see even a 1fps drop, it will be out of my PC before I even start recording, I use Shadowplay because the filesize generated doesn't take 100gb for 1hr of playtime, it does encode directly to mp4 and the quality is awesome already, and I have no FPS drops whatever I do.
OBS recording files are small. There compressed, so depending on your specs, you could see an fps difference. Also note: you monitor can only display 60 frames (unless you bought a fancy one) so It does not really matter.

It does matter to me since I can barely get 60fps in Minecraft (I play with a lot of mods that aren't optimized, I would use Optifine but the problems I get with Optifine and the mods I use are 100% worst than dealing with around 30-40fps.
Still, OBS is free. You could try it. Good luck with the whole modded stuff.
You might not have an fps drop, since you are being bottlenecked probably from the cpu. Since mods are not really optimized, you need a really fast cpu. At least on my self, as soon as 1.7 hit big with mods, I never had great performance.

I have an AMD FX 6350 and you can buy it for 120$ on newegg or amazon, it is really a beast of a CPU and its not expensive like Intel. I get about 250-500FPS on minecraft with a 64x texturepack and 1GB RAM allocated to minecraft. (Optifine installed with a GTX 750 Ti GPU)

I have a fx-6300. Yes it is good, but it is Slow compared to Intel. Since minecraft only uses one core really, your 6 core cpu still would be slow. For recording/streaming, the fx-6350 is great. You should try OBS, since you have cores to spare.
The truth is, the FX series of processors are ageing(Did I spell that right?). While directX 12 might help keep them around, soon they won't even be able to play game anymore. Yes this is minecraft, but for a game like Dying Light (I own it for PC), they recommend a fx 8320 for a minimum. You might be able to wait for the new Zen cores to come along, but any AAA gaming, you fx-6350 will bottle neck you gpu. Not to much since your gpu is not that strong.
As for my last comment, on 1.6 I was able to record and host a server all on my fx-6300. Now on 1.7, I can't really play without fps dipping after awhile.
Just for everyone, here's my current rig, just got upgraded to this from an old Intel Q9400 2.6GHZ and 8GB DDR2 so its much better, I got the stuff for only 300$ :

You said it would bottleneck my gpu eh? I run Advanced Warfare at 60-91 FPS on "Very High" and Far Cry 4 on Ultra at 30 FPS with no lag spikes. I'd say that's pretty good. And for the price, it beats Intel any day. You can buy it new for 120$. Try finding an Intel processor that can do that for 120$.
And yes, the FX series is pretty old, (about 4 years old), It still preforms great. I will switch to Intel within the next 2 years once my PC can't handle AAA games. And Dying Light is a shitty optimized game and I squeak out 45 FPS on it on low and ultra settings, (got it cracked then deleted it).
As for you Dodge, you should be getting way over 60 FPS while recording is you have a 770. I have a 750 Ti and I get 100-300 while recording. Even when using mods you should be getting more than that. If you play with 16+ render distance, try turning it down to 12 or 8 (It helps majorly).
Why don't you put minecraft on an SSD, that might help. Personally I have never tried it, but it seems like you might be able to run slightly better, because SSDS load items faster so you get higher FPS, and maybe recording will stabilize.

Forgot to mention this, game is on a OCZ Vector 150 SSD, I don't trust OCZ at all since its my 3rd replacement and none of their previous SSD lasted more than 7 months on any of my PC, but I've got everything backed up daily on a HDD and on dropbox for safety reasons. To be honest, the only part I feel is faster is the loading of Minecraft with mods, I get around 15-30 seconds less of loading times (tested with multiple modpacks and with my own modpack), the exploring of new chunks is still a pain in the ass even on a SSD, and same for my own private family server (on a Samsung Pro 840 SSD on my old PC)[/p]
What resolution are you running at? I played farcry 4 at launch (Cracked), and I could barely get medium settings. That was a launch though. Glad to here they fixed it. I never said your gpu was your bottleneck. Your system is well balanced. If you had an i7-5something, your gpu would be the bottle neck then.
Have you tried Witcher 3 yet? That looks like a though game to run.
Also legit_cake, not sure if modded minecraft would preform better on a SSD. Better loading times, maybe, but an hdd's speed should be good enough.

I ran Far Cry 4 at 1080p ultra settings (Update 1.4). I am torrenting The Witcher 3 right now and I will tell you how much FPS I get and on what settings when I play it. (The download should be done tomorrow)
L M A O, please tell me you're trolling and you're not actually that stupid. Go to settings>video settings, what do you see? You can change between OpenGL and DirectX, newsflash
I personally use OBS to record my gameplay videos, (Choice of opinion). But if you Half to edit your videos, I recommend VideoPad (Video Editer): http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/
I use this editor in all my videos and it is my fav. There is no spywares, adwares, crapwares, virus or rancomwares .ect
Its free and there are easy and fast to learn tutorials on youtube and the internet on how to use it if you ever get stuck.
