In light of some of my recent post I have decided to make a post on which capture software to use. Fraps or DXTory. Pros and Cons. Ok if your running a high end rig then Fraps is for you if not I would suggest using DXTory. Why DXTory? Unlike Fraps which uses both your CPU and GPU to record you game and put that over lay that shows your fps DXTory will use either your GPU or CPU which ever you deem fit for the processing power or both like I said its up to you. Another cool thing about DXTory is your choice of Raw video or AVI also you can set your encoder to what you want. As for the FPS capping you can set it as high as your card will handle. I record in 120 fps when I'm playing STO but when I play BF3 I record in 60 fps. You guys/gals know that fps overlay on fraps the yellow one well with DXTory you can make it any color you want..... Pros of Fraps NONE.... Cons of Fraps everything.... Pros of DXTory every things better..... Cons what Cons unless your still using Fraps then your Conning your self.

If you leave the dxtory page then Google it the first screen you'll see after clicking the link will ask you if you want the English site or the Japanese site

I struggle with FPS so STO says when I type /showfps 1, my game runs so smooth but says I'm in crippling red zone numbers.

i use a free version of bandicam, records only 10 min...which suits my purpose of stitching sequenzes together and avoid long running videos. Capturing doesn't need much system resources or filespace.
it surely has it's limitations, but for a free software it is outstanding.
Where as Fraps will have a whole bunch of 4gb files that you have to use another program to join them together DXTory can place same said capture into one file or alt. if really want alot of 4 gb files DXTory can do that as well. as for AVI its an update version but you can do raw game play as well just like fraps.
I know this is may sound like an odd question but what kind of rig are you running. if you dont want everyone to know you can always PM me.... I might have some tips for you
Yeah hey it does alot more then what I have told every one. you could just the tip of the ice burg

You can choose whether or not to split file while recording in Fraps.
Really well I do have both so if you would please walk me through the process. I'll be honest I don't see that option but what I do see is the ability to have it cap at 1-4gb. but like I said I don't see the option to cap lets say 150gb continuous. which is one of the features DXTory has were it can create a file lets say any where from 1/2gb to 3TB. Or split them up like Fraps does.
But please if theres something I have over looked please please walk me through so I know.
Check on Fraps website in their changelog (Fraps 3.5.0 - 26th April 2012), perhaps you have an older version than that.
Hey so I tried that /showfps 1 and there's no way thats correct it shows I only get 15 to 30 fps during my two hours of game play both in and out of "both ground and space" combat. Thats a lie I'm running a GTX 660TI 2gb edition four way SLI so really im running 8gb and thats some straight up bs figure when I run fraps overlay I hit 105 no problem and DXTory overlay is 120 easy all day. So take their /showfps 1 thing with a grain of salt because its not able to tell you what the real fps is....
Yeah no I have the latest version but I guess mine is just bugged but heck thats fraps for you a complete waste of money. The fact that all their patch have fixed problem that don't exsist in DXTory 1.0 should tell you some thing about the company making the software. At any rate the choice of which one you use is up to you... But I will say this to any BF3 fans here all the MLG players use DXTory to record their game play... I'm currently in a clan that RivaLxfactor supports he also uses our servers to make his tut videos. Check him out some time.
