Best Programs To Record You’re PC Games With

If you’re like me and you like to make tutorials for you tube, film game footage or just like the idea of recording game on pc screen you’re going to want to have the best program available right? Well I’ve made up a list of some of the Top Game recorders out there.



Gaming Recorders

1. Fraps - Fraps is regarded as the best game recorder out there. With its easy to use interface and high quality recording it is defiantly something you should look at getting if you’re into gaming and want to make some gameplay videos. Fraps lets you select keys for the functions play and pause. So you do not have to keep exiting you’re game when you want tot start recording. It also has a handy little FPS counter that you can put in any corner of the screen or remove completely. Fraps does have one drawback though. For instance, a 5 minute long video can sometimes take up as much as 500mb on your pc. So that’s not really what you want when you’re recording up to 30 minutes of gameplay. But the pros certainly to outweigh the cons which makes fraps definitely worth buying.
   
Cost - $37 for the full version. There is also a free trial version available which only lets you record 30 seconds of gameplay.
 Why you should buy - $37 is very cheap for software like this and it’s the best of its kind out there.

2. Xfire - Xfire is much like fraps exept instead of leaving you video files in a huge size files in compresses them into smaller files so that they don’t take up as much room on you’re pc. You can also create a free Xfire profile and upload your videos to there so that other uses can see your videos. The downside to Xfire is that you will need a better pc to run it with and the video quality is not as good as fraps.

Cost - Free!
