Software game capture software with minimal overhead?

I won't capture footage often enough to justify getting a dedicated capture card.

 

Which software do you recommend I use to capture video game footage with voiceover from a microphone?

 

If it helps, I have an i7-8700K with 16 GB RAM and RTX 2080 and I run games at 1440p.

 

I want to capture at 60fps and I'll probably be recording for up to 60 minutes each time.

Use the Nvidia shadowplay, no performance drop.

But Nvidia went full Facebook and you now need to make an account to access GeForce Experience, which is BS.

hope you have the storage space for such a task

 

like mentioned previously, Shadowplay will use the NVENC encoder on the GPU and not affect performance.

That's fine, I have an active Facebook account. As long as it captures a standard video file, I'm happy.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks, both!
