Without rewatching the video, I think Linus showed it running on a desktop without the counter present. This only happened on that laptop. I managed to replicated it on my laptop, and fraps will even capture video in Vulkan mode. What I think is happening is this is a side effect of nvidia optimus technology. Although Linus tried to disable the integrated graphics, I think it has to remain active as it is connected to the display. The nvidia GPU still has to pass display data through it, and fraps may be intercepting at that point. If this is correct, this effect should be repeatable on optimus enabled laptops, but not other laptops or desktops.
