Beepa, the developers of FRAPS, is currently working on FRAPS version 3.6.0 which will include support for Windows 10 and offer several bug fixes and improvements.

I hope they fix the performance hit of using Fraps.

Do people still use FRAPS? FCAT is far better and tells a nicer story.

Unless you mean purely for video recording, then I will shut up

It's good for using the built in benchmark tool but that's about it as the video quality of other software such as Shadowplay and Action is easily on par with Fraps now.

Exactly, thats why I wondered why people were still using it. Then again I guess AMD users cannot access Shadowplay.

I compared the FPS counter shown between FRAPS and afterburner and they are practically the same, so a nice combo these days is FCAT and Afterburner so we see the FPS and all the microstuttering that occurs, especially with SLI/Crossfire.

FCAT requires extra expensive hardware which isn't justifiable for the typical gamer

FCAT software is free as far as i know

This is what i found after a quick search, so it shouldnt requrie any fancy hardware try it out? If im wrong then my apologies, i havent tested this myself as of yet.

For FPS monitoring I use the NZXT cam, it's quite good

I use it for screen shots with the stand alone titles I have like GTA V and screen shotting GoG games, other than that I just use F12 in Steam.

If you actually took time and looked at what you linked you'd see if you want to use FCAT you need a capture card. They recommend the VisionDVI-DL which is going for £1000 in the uk

 

[AlienALX]

To record FCAT and then analyse it you need very fast storage and the very expensive capture card (or at least you used to). Running it though? you should be able to do that pretty easily

The card cost 300euros brand new. Or use to since Gefen DVIDL has been discontinued. It is dated hardware after all. Guess they have a new one coming soon.

Meaning you can get it cheaper than that.
