MSI Afterburner is pretty cool, but it uses a lot of CPU power while recording, more so than FRAPs.

While FRAPs and DxTory are not free, and I would never recommend them to people without the PC to support the purchase, they are both more suited to video recording than the current release of MSI Afterburner.


I almost forgot about one more program that you might want to check out.

Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) is an open source recording and streaming program that receives frequent updates, and I've had great success with running it in the background.


My personal preference is to use a capture card pared with OBS for the best possible quality and 0% impact on the game session, but even by itself OBS is a pretty powerful tool. It is also 100% free and the community supporting it is awesome.
