Hey folks,
Hopefully I've put this in the right place... I don't think there is anywhere better it could go but no doubt the mods will bash my head if their was and I can cower like the noob I am.
So yea, I do quite a bit of game recording on my PC. And I have so far been confined to Fraps.
My Gfx card is a Gainward GTX 580 3gb.
I like to and want to continue recording in full HD as I often integrate "real world" video that is 1080p.
So 1080p is a must and I guess I'm looking at a PCI E card which is fine I've got the space.
Now here is the issues.
My friend bought this one:-

He claims it is garbage, was a lot of money and produces poor quality than fraps. On top of which the file format apparently wasn't compatible with his Sony Vegas video editor which is one I use quite frequently.
Another friend of a friend swears by this one:-

Though I have not been able to speak to him in person yet.
The one I want is this one:-
The Intesity Pro PCI E.

Thoughts, experience, advice is much sought after and needed! Storage space is not an issue on my machine what so ever. I care only about the quality of the end product and crucially being able to import it into video edition software like vegas, adobe, after effects etc.
