Though this is the most popular and is argued to have the “best” quality I couldn't tell the difference between this one and some of the others. It doesn’t have any of the customization that most of the others offer. This is earned 4th because it is too simple.

Overall: You still take a big hit to FPS, the file sizes are still huge, and zero customization. Decent FPS Drops (went from 80 to 52 FPS) Very limited resolution options (full, half) Recording at 30 FPS will drop your FPS to 30 Very large files (1 Minute is about 5GB) your game and Mic (with option of push to record) Allows audio recording of two sources i.e. That puts it in last place.įRAPS show fps, record video game movies, screen capture software Even putting the “cores” the program uses to 8 doesn’t reduce the FPS drop. Not only HUGE files, but you take a big FPS hit. It has average record quality, but HUGE file sizes. It doesn't bring much to the table that the others can do better.

This isn't bad, but it’s the worst of the group. Overall: Monstrous file size, big FPS drop, and average quality. Decent FPS drop when recording (Dropped from 80fps to 45fps in Skyrim) Allows several overlays (CPU, GPU, Teamspeak, Time) Pre-Record feature (Nice if you only want to record snippets)

Pla圜law : Game Video Recorder alternative, Game Screen Capture, Ventrilo Teamspeak overlay, Game Recorder I've tested each one quite a bit, and ranked them. I’ve recorded in 1080p, 720p and 540p (Fraps only has Full or half screen options) and recording at smaller resolution does help with a little with the FPS drops in some of them, but they still drop too many FPS considering the quality lost. Without recording I get 80 FPS (I disabled V-sync). I load the same save point each time and record.

My benchmarking is done on Skyrim on Ultra Settings. So far I've tested Fraps, Bandicam, MSI Afterburner 2.20 Beta, Dxtory, and Playclaw.ġ20 GB OCZ Agility 3 (OS drive, NOT used in recording)Ģ x 1 TB Wester Digitial Blacks in RAID 0 (Used in recording) I wanted to record my BF3 games without a huge hit to FPS and without extremely large files. Over the last couple days I've been trying out a bunch of different screen recording software.
