dxTory stands out over FRAPs because it lets you employ your own codecs. UT.Video is a lossless encoder, requiring a very fast HDD and ample storage. Lagarith offers another solid lossless option. Open encodevfw supports AMDVCE (AMD's shadowplay) codec, though it doesn’t support NVENC. Capturing 1080p60 at 50Mbps with x264 in OBS using a 4790K can achieve this, but it typically uses 30-50% CPU depending on the content. Using hardware encoders demands higher bitrates for equivalent quality with x264.
