Thank you for your help!

Hello! So I just bought a new laptop for gaming. Yes I know you should get a desktop but I'm on the move too much to lug one around. Anyway, when I run skyrim on high settings and with 30 mods installed it works beautifully. But as soon as I tried recording with Fraps or Dxtory my FPS went to 20's. Why is this? GPU? Hard Drive? Processor? I'm not very tech savvy so forgive me. But I do know that I have 1TB hard drive Intel core i7 GeForce 940m graphics card Another thing is when I got "GeForce Experience" program and went under the "My Rig" tab, I had met all requirements for ShadowPlay except my GPU. However I thought I had read somewhere that mine was good enough? And finally my 2 questions are 1. How can I fix it? 2. Would a Hauppauge HD PVR Gaming 2 help? Thanks and sorry for the length.
