Do you Nvidia owners install Geforce Experience?

I had it for Shadowplay and although the low impact on performance was nice I didn't like the quality of the videos it outputted. They were "OK" but not that good. For sticking on YT they're probably OK as YT butchers them anyway but I would rather use other capture software.

This is one of the reasons I still use fraps as well - though newer versions have improved the capture quality of shadowplay a bit - but for a properly edited/produced video you really want a bit higher source quality than shadowplay provides. For realtime capture especially of competitive gameplay though you can't really take the hit of fraps.
 
have it installed but didn't realise it could be removed while keeping the drivers. going to have a go at ridding the system of this bloatware now.

Yep FRAPS is a heavy hitter! Still gives amazing results though. The raw footage is perfect to use. My FRAPS licence - purchased when I was about 15 - must have definitely paid for itself over the years (12 and counting!).

12 years? Couldn't be that long surely? :eek:
 
was running nvidia experience and have fraps and afterburner all installed. no issues with conflicts but nothing is set to start on boot.

just uninstalled NE but afterburner and fraps are still on here with no issues. never had any problems but then never runs fraps when running the other 2 really.
 
FRAPS is what 30-40% fps reduction? (on average?)

I can certainly see the reason to go lossless capture but the knock-on issues with file size and perf loss does make it a difficult choice.

Guess the best solution would be to have a 2nd machine that just does capture, encoding & storage :)
