DxTory with Lagarith Lossless Codec.

I see everyone saying that. For me it didn't work very well. I find FRAPS the best and more consistent, I tried everything else. Mirillis Action! was pretty good but it is plainly incompatible with a lot of games and doesn't export to a format Sony Vegas recognises...

My personal list from best to worse is

1. FRAPS

2. Mirillis

3. DxTory, various codecs

4. Afterburner

5. Bandicam

Under Lagarith Lossless Codec settings in DxTory, make sure to uncheck "Prevent Upsampling When Decoding" or Vegas can't read the .avi file.

This was a clients computer that I thoroughly tested, for some reason he insisted on 16GB of memory.

 

When I wasn't recording it was a constant high 40s, then went down to mid 30s when I turned the recording on, didn't get a chance to record with the 650 ti though.

Has nothing to do with memory capacity, but bandwidth. i3's are dual channel, meaning the memory bus is 128 bits (2x64) wide and the effective bandwidth is the product of the frequency and the bandwidth. The iGPU and the CPU have to share that bandwidth. Memory capacity is unrelated.

Dxtory is the best out of all of the software, a million times better than Fraps, but you'll have to do some configuring to get the file sizes down.  Dxtory only lowers your FPS by 5 or so while Fraps tends to lower it quite a bit more.  If you have the cash though the live gamer HD is the best option hands down.  No input lag, no performance hit and the files are compressed.

I vote for MSI Afterburner

http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm

It's free, and with the Lagarith Lossless video codec,

http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html

You'll get great quality and small file sizes(small compared to other recording programs)

remember to enable multithreading and use YV12 mode : )

I did a quality test on MSI afterburner with that codec a while ago, here it is

Yes i know, shouldn't have tested quality in a night time map ;p but oh well.

I use afterburner, just because it's free... I'm a cheap donkey when it comes to paying for software though... I use freeware equivalents of like EVERYTHING except office...

PROFILEYEAH

Dxtory is by far the best.. The only problem is VLC can't play the files.

That can be fixed by altering the codecs you use to something VLC recognises

The latest beta of MSI afterburner (3.0.0 beta14) has quicksync support which makes very little impact on in game frames per second. A very good option if ur on an Intel cpu.. But beta is beta.

MSI Afterburner, sadly for me the video file doesn't import into several editing softwares I tried.

 

Currently using Mirillis Action! Quality and performance hit near exact with Afterburner but file slightly bigger. Works with the editing software I use now so I'm happy with it.
