Top Rated FRAPS Alternatives
In my experience as a user of FRAPS what I have found to be the most useful of the application is the performance test that allows me to check the power of my computer through benchmarks that measure the quality of my GPU and CPU thanks to the FPS ( frame per second).
In terms of its interface, FRAPS does not stand out because of an updated or aesthetically very nice interface, but rather has a simple and intuitive interface in which it is not overloaded with useless options but simply shows those options necessary for the user.
In the video recording has a feature that allows you to cut large videos in different files to avoid reaching the limit of the FAT32 file system so in this case the limit is just under 4GB. It is also possible to take screenshots using the appropriate shortcut for this action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface of FRAPS is very outdated and has not been fixed in the updates of the application, which are not very common either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the in game FPS Counter for computers that don't support GeForce experience and it also has a feature for recording clips.Best part is most of it is free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is some issue with fps counter with some games. Sometime it does display proper FPS if multiple applications are open another problem with this is that it provides basic video recording Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it is free and feature limited since it has to be easy and fast to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since it is free, it puts you a watermark in some place of the scene. At least when I used it, it was like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Low resource impact compared to other recording software, with a straightforward interface while in use. Great control of settings in terms of FPS capture rate and sound settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface for settings looks a bit outdated and the hot-key functions can be confusing. No control for what Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
FRAPS is lighweight and very low on the system resources. It runs silently in the background and does the job, which is what people expect out of any software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
FRAPS does not work with DX12 games. The frame counter does not show, which is a problem since most modern games take advantage of DX12. So in order to get FRAPS to work on such games, you have to manually start the game in DX11. This is an inconvenience, and FRAPS has not fixed it yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a program that we sometimes use in the company to take screenshots and videos, it turns out to be very good and easy to do because of its predefined options where we can adjust the video quality, we can apply the shortcut to a single key to avoid looking at the program all the time, thus using a quick key to start and another to stop, it is a very intuitive and practical program but very good for what it is made for.

You need some options to measure the quality and size of the videos as well as the file extensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like this system because it allows me to evaluate the level of performance of my computer and that of my team. It also has a very friendly interface that allows us to use this system without much knowledge. I also like the way how this system lives in constant updating, in order to provide an excellent service.
Also this system has a function to edit large videos in order that they do not get to take many resources from computers. It should be noted that this system is excellent for screen printing quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At the moment I have no complaints or any negative opinion related to this system, however if there are things that can be improved to the system, this is reported to the technical support team and they thanked me for my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
FRAPS is an excellent and simple application that allows you to make video and audio recordings on your computer among other things. It also allows you to take screenshots and measure the FPS of the applications rendered on our computer.
The interface of the program is very simple and minimalist since we are hardly presented with a table with some options such as the assignment of a shortcut and the path where to save the videos or screenshots. Both the quality of the videos and the screenshot can be modified to suit the user so that they occupy less space on our hard drive. In general FRAPS is a very popular application used mostly among gamers to show how many FPS (frames per seconds) are displayed on the screen and thus measure the performance of their computers.

-The FRAPS interface is very outdated and takes a long time in this way, apparently the developers are not interested in improving this aspect of the application.
- There are not too many options to configure, I personally miss an option to regulate the quality of the video when we record in full screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The quality of the videos is very high, this is for me the most significant aspect of FRAPS that allows you to record your desktop at a very good quality so that no details are lost when viewing the video on our player (provided it is properly configured) .
The videos generated by FRAPS do not have any type of compression applied so their size is somewhat high and it is necessary to edit them using video editing applications to maintain the quality while also decreasing its size.
FRAPS also includes a tool to perform benchmarks and screenshots, these tools can be invoked through shortcuts that we can configure in the same application. The application of benchmarks can only be launched on a full-screen application or a video game. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The generated files are of a huge size so it is essential to waste time later editing them to reduce their size, the application could include options in this sense so that compression can be applied while recording. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
