Best Alternate for Fraps?

Hey guys, I am having a but of trouble in choosing correct screen recording software for recording gameplay.

I tried a couple of alternates like BandiCam, MSI Afterburner, but either quality is not good or my CPU cant handle the load

I like the quality of BandiCam better but I want to check with other softwares too.
in afterburner I need to record at 50% quality and at 1/2 frame only.. anything else it I get framedrops in recorded video.
Which ones do you use for gameplay recording Paid or Free no problem?

Config : i5 2400, 8 Gig RAM, MSI 6850 Cyclone.

Seeing your config, I don't think there should be frame rate drop while recording. MSI Afterburner worked best for me. You can use uncompressed recording, but the file size will be very large and a fast disk io is required. Try using one of the codecs listed in 'VFW compression'. There are specific hardwares available for screen recording, don't know much about them though.

Use Dxtory

Use Radeon Pro.....Works best for AMD cards.

Dxtory is not free, AFAIK, just like FRAPs.

Are there no free alternatives?

stop doing that :twisted:

@ Limitless - stop doing such moronic acts .. read forum rules first. Consider this as a warning.

You could try Action! by mirillis. If you want a freeware, you wouldn't get the quality required for pro recording....

best is too use inbuilt game engine demo recorder . with fraps gfx quality also drops. best is link your output to a tv tuner card and record it externally like via a secondary pc or something...

regarding dxtory, I went directly to their website, didn't check the link provided by limitless, hence I didn't realize there was a issue with the link.

as far as recording is concerned I am not sure what is causing the framedrops when using a codec, I should check with other games, cause this problem seem to be major when recording in BF3.

@Noas: no dude.. I dont have a spare PC to do the recordings

when you record i think the gpu does 2x work, its like you are its outputting stuff from one end ( your game and display ), and inputing stuff from the other side to the screen capture system.

if there was some way to use a different gpu for screen capture i think that could solve the problem, but this is just speculation... i really dont know how this stuff works.

Have you checked to see if there is an option to limit the framerate?

^^ Will check framerate limit part ..

if you have a AMD GC then you can try raedon pro..

^^ Last time I checked it, the "software" was a bit confusing.. let me try again

Is there any problems with MSI Afterburner ??

I prefer MSI Afterburner over Fraps. Interface is very simple & you can select the compression type & quality of recording than using an encoder.

If you run into trouble just tell me.....I am using it so I can help you with proper settings and all.

Guys, Fraps vs Dxtory vs MSI Afterburners vs Bandicam vs EVGA Precision vs Mirillis Action! Vs Radeon Pro in terms of Size, Quality and mainly FPS drops is the best. And also tell me which of these is best for my GPU, i.e., Zotac gtx 560ti.

Why do you keep posting your problem in multiple places? Just post it in ONE place for the sake of confusion.

Sorry for that. I thought no one would reply in this thread cuz it is quiet old. So I posted it twice. But can I know the answer?
