Does anyone know where I can find a good game recording software?

I have FRAPs, but I take a major hit in FPS when I'm using it for recording.

No matter what software you use, you are going to take an FPS hit. But if you still need to know, there is also Gamecam and Hypercam.

Regardless of what program you use, you will lose some performance. FRAPS is most likely your best bet.

the only real way to get a recording without getting any fps lag at all (like gaming websites do) is to do something like output the video source to a tv that has some sort of recorder hooked up, basically its then just recording video like you might record a TV show, rather than having your PC run the game, and try to save every frame at the same time

FRAPs isn't the best for me. I when I record my FPS goes down to about 30 or so when it's usually up in the 100s or so.

Fraps caps the recording at whatever framerate you set. Obviously it goes to 30 because its set to record at 30 fps. Anyways why would you want to record at a high FPS? Just going to take up more space. When you watch a game recorded at 30fps it looks great in the video.

I'm not a newb or anything. I have it manually set to over 60 FPS. It drops down to the 10s and 20s. I need a better recording program.

tough luck. FRAPS is the best there is.

The only way to get it better is like another poster suggested is to output the picture to another device and record it from there.
