Video capturing Software

[BonkersMental]

Hey Guys. can anyone recommend a good FREE Video capturing suite. im using windows 10 and want to be able to record some of my Project Cars Fullscreen gameplay. Ideally in 1080p but 720p would be ok. Ive googled this question and have found a few but would Value this Forums opinions.

Well the easiest options would be Radeon ReLive or Geforce Experience depending on your GPU.

ive a GTX 1070. tried using Geforce Experience but i cant find the option in my windows 10 settings to turn on desktop capturing. This is required otherwise Geforce experience fails to record anything, desktop or fullscreen. I might try Open Broadcaster Software. OBS. it free and apparently good by all accounts.

I think Jackfrags uses obs and he liked the fact it didn't impact performance

Thats encouraging Excalabur50. thanks..downloading OBS now.

Another vote for OBS here. I used it to capture and Twitch stream PS4 gameplay (hate the native streaming app on console) and it never let me down.

One last question, , is there a way i can upload my gameplay vids to this Forum ?. ive rescaled the vid to 696 x 392 and got it down to 451MB mp4. Im a complete noob when it comes to capturing etc but im guessing the file size is still too big.....
