Want a FREE FRAPS alternative? Then step right in here xD

Asus GamerOSD is awesome, I have bene using FRAPS up until now, GamerOSD encodes directly to XViD unlike FRAPS which records to a raw video format resulting in huge videos so you have to re-encode before uploading to youtube.

GamerOSD records at DVD resolution if you want it to and the quality/size is great too.

Enjoy!

lol, site undergoing maintenance!!

Thanks for the heads u tho!

You can also get it here:

http://support.asus.com.tw/

Just find your GFX card and go from there

Works for me, downloading now........

thanks

How much in game lag does it cause? The reason for Fraps' large videos is because it's so easy on the CPU to encode RAW

mrk · 4 Sep 2010 at 14:54

Just a note,if you use 64bit Windows 7 then download via the support site I linked above as the first link is 32bit only.

No more lag than FRAPS (so no lag).

Recording videos will always cause some fps drop, it's impossible to avoid this.

Cool. Downloading now.

First link is going to second link anyway

arknor · 4 Sep 2010 at 14:59

so does it actually have an OnScreenDisplay? and what information is on this OSD? or are they just calling it OSD to try and sound down wid da geeks yo

Craig321 · 4 Sep 2010 at 15:01

Read the link in the OP. It gives FPS etc. from what I can tell.

arknor · 4 Sep 2010 at 15:18

Craig321 · 4 Sep 2010 at 15:22

Click on the Gameplay setup you can pick from there.
I have un-installed it to much bloatware for me but thanks anyway op

Craig321 · 4 Sep 2010 at 15:43

Where's that? I'm just getting a screen with capture mode, hotkeys and view.

mrk · 4 Sep 2010 at 15:47

Personally I still use Fraps as I record at 1920x1200 not DVD resolution and downscale from there but yeah, for anyone wanting a freebie this will be just fine

Viper² · 4 Sep 2010 at 15:50

THANKS OP

jmc007 · 4 Sep 2010 at 15:55

Yeah, thanks.
*Edit. Can I capture sound?

Behemoth · 4 Sep 2010 at 16:01

I'm assuming this will work if your GFX card isn't made by Asus ?

Clarkson · 4 Sep 2010 at 16:02

Noticed at the bottom of the page under 'system requirements' there was this:

"ASUS graphics cards (30-day trial period for non-ASUS cards)"

Without trying to state the obvious, does that mean that if you don't have an ASUS card, it won't be free after 30 days? :cool:

mrk · 4 Sep 2010 at 16:03

Hmmm not sure, the app itself doesn't say anything that would indicate a trial!

There is no option to register it, so I am guessing no, it is free forever.
