I just bought a 3tb harddrive just for raw files and I was wondering what is the best preferably not pricey software to use... I have Fraps and Camtasia but both have their problems Fraps for example the files are very high, and Camtasia well its Camtasia.. Any suggestions that produce high quality recording software?

If you have Nvidia card, you can use ShadowPlay.

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz - Intel Stock Cooler - Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB Synergy Edition

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

Shadowplay is worth looking at for Nvidia cards, it seems to work pretty well.

 

The best free solution in my opinion is Open Broadcast Software. It's free and open source and has lots of great features. It might take some time to get to grips with and lacks an overlay like Fraps (but there may be a plugin for this around, I'm not sure).

 

Alternatively I've heard good things about DXTory, but I haven't used the paid version myself.

OBS is always a good choice, get to change and tweak everything you want, and you get the option of using QuickSync (Intel iGPU for encoding), GPU Accelerated, or if you had an Nvidia card, NVENC.

 

Raptr seems to vary wildly between people, I tried it on my friend's rig and it was just appaulingly bad, but some say it's alright. Worth a try at the least
