I know this sounds like an advertisement, but it seems not many people know about ShadowPlay and that they already have a near-perfect recording solution just sitting there while they use FRAPS or Bandicam. And since it's from the graphics card directly, you can record anything you see on screen, including your desktop, your applications, or whatever. Plus you save time because you don't have to then compress those huge files into H.264 afterwards anyway. Since it encodes to H.264 in real time, your videos take up much less space than the uncompressed ginormous videos from FRAPS or other software-based recording programs. I use it to record my videos, 1080P, and since it's hardware based directly from the graphics card, with no performance drop at all.

No performance drop, real-time hardware-encoding to MP4 H.264, and an option to always record your mic/headset or PTT.

Do you have a current generation Nvidia Geforce GPU? GTX 6 and GTX 7 series have built-in hardware-based HD video recording and encoding called ShadowPlay that comes with the latest drivers.
