ShadowPlay: A Revolution In Game Capture, Coming Soon To GeForce Experience

Capturing footage from your favorite games can reduce frame rates quite considerably at native resolutions, in addition to reducing level and texture load speeds if capturing to the hard drive holding the game. Furthermore, some apps record using uncompressed formats, filling your drive with gigabytes of data.

If you own a GeForce GTX 600 or 700 Series GPU, you’ll soon have a new option for creating high-quality captures, courtesy of an upcoming GeForce Experience module we’re calling ShadowPlay. Completely free to use, ShadowPlay leverages the H.264 encoder built into Kepler graphics cards to record max quality, native resolution gameplay footage that is compressed and encoded on the fly, before being automatically saved as a YouTube-friendly .mp4.

 

ShadowPlay promises to revolutionize game footage capture by leveraging the high-speed, integrated Kepler encoder that also powers NVIDIA Shield PC game streaming. And because it's a dedicated hardware encoder, you'll be able to capture gameplay footage continuously without tanking your framerate.

In addition to traditional game capture, ShadowPlay users can activate Shadow mode, which continually records and saves the latest action to a user-definable buffer. If you pull off an outrageous mid-air maneuver in Battlefield 3, simply hit a predefined hotkey and your moment of glory is instantly saved to a .mp4, ready for publication on YouTube.

Perfect for the majority of gamers who don’t require a capture of every single second of action, ShadowPlay’s innovative new mode ensures you never again say, “I wish you could have seen that!” With ShadowPlay enabled, every special moment can be captured and quickly shared, demonstrating your pro-gaming skills to your best friends.

Well, I've been using Fraps for some time now. All I can say is, it doesn't lag much when recording because it doesn't auto compress the file size like the other softwares out there. Annoying thing is those output files sizes, to me, it's like a raw file size.

Trust me, do try dxtory and you ll see a difference,

can record with different codecs ( if you wanna change, though the stock one is good )

can record in a different resolution than the one you are playing, example playing in 1080p but recording at 720p for youtube uploads ( = smaller file size) and different audio streams, one for the game, one for skype and blabla

And the best one for me, can be playing at 100fps, but recording at 30 or 40 or whatever

You may take a look at "Mirillis Action!" aswell..

I'd have to say Dxtory is the better program. Fraps is a great recording software, but the file sizes are sometimes annoying if you haven't compressed the video yet and Dxtory has more features. Fraps is still pretty awesome though.
