So what will fill the void for FRAPS' benchmark tool?

[Aya]

Yes, we all know that FRAPS is the absolute worst for video recording but one extremely useful feature that makes a 2013 abandonware still relevant would be its built-in benchmark tool, generating a .csv file that can be converted into a readable spreadsheet (which in turn can be used to generate those framerate graphs used in hardware reviews)

However, with DirectX 12 and Vulkan existing, I have to wonder if we'll ever get anything to help turn a gaming session (or more specifically, the frames per second in said session) into a readable graph that can be posted on forums and review articles should enough games be released in the newer APIs that make FRAPS useless, because nobody should have to record their framerates with crappy phone footage.

Who needs Fraps? No one, its paid garage.

Use the various tools from Futuremark, Unigine and also AIDA64

Get MSI Afterburner + RivaTuner as well

Can RivaTuner generate a file that's readable by Microsoft Office Excel or OpenOffice Calc so as to generate said graph?

What for? All that is important is the average FPS, as that gives users a good idea of what to actually expect for a game in general on their specs.

Perhaps, though some factors that are specific to certain games (i.e: swarms of crawlers or sirens in Killing Floor 2, the more open areas in Doom 2016 multiplayer, Downtown Los Santos in GTAV), could create a level of variance affecting the y axis of a graph

To be honest fraps recording g is still fantastic lossless quality, just dear God does it use up alot of space lol.

MSI Afterburner does it too
