It is one of the tools that we have used for a long time to perform all kinds of tests in applications or video games, Fraps is one of my favorite tools, to test the hardware of computers, and later to know, how to execute it, an application or a video game on this computer, is a completely free application, which has the necessary features to perform this type of performance tests on our equipment, the installation and use of this application, it is supremely simple, any person can use it, and easily determine the operation of your computer, for the execution of different applications and and video games, also has other additional features, such as screenshots in the game, which is a plus for the operation of this tool.

It is a very simple application whose objective is to capture video / images or benchmark applications that use directx / opengl / vulkan. The ease of using the application due to its minimalist interface and which requires little interaction on the part of the user since it only asks us to assign a key as a keyboard shortcut to start or pause the recording of the video. The quality of the videos created by FRAPS is total as they are videos generated directly and without any type of compression, so your size is also high, since the videos in general must be subsequently edited and compressed by other types of programs. different to FRAPS.

I have been using Fraps for a long time to record different activities such as educational videos, games or tutorials and the best thing about this application from my point of view is the ease that the application has to be used because it does not have a lot of configuration options. high (and this I do not see as something negative, on the contrary). The quality of the recordings is very good because the default application does not use a very high compression algorithm but it tries to generate videos with the highest quality and therefore its size is usually large, after this the videos They have to be processed to reduce their weight. Additionally it is also possible to show the frames per second of the applications to have information about the performance.
