Best software to display framerate and capture video?

[MZ ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ]

I am currently using MSI Afterburner. What are you using?

For free ones, Afterburner or BandiCam are very good.
I've used paid version of Fraps and TBO it is waste of money as it does the same thing as the above two freebies.

Afterburner has conflicts with ENB mods though. I'm not sure if BandiCam does too; I've never used it.

I bought Fraps ages ago and, in the grand scheme of things, it isn't the best. The format and resolution options are pretty lackluster compared to others, so I agree with you on that. It works and works well without conflicts, but it's very rudimentary.

Afterburner works just fine with GTAIV (or other ENB games, such as Skyrim) u just need to disable the in-game overlay (OSD) feature on Afterburner. As that is what can cause crashing.

Huh. I like overlays too much though. RadeonPro doesn't have a problem, so I use that.

Sometime it's just the game, not the 3rd party app.

As I always seem to have to turn off overlay features for GTAIV, but not other games.
So I don't know for sure...

As far as capture goes, BandiCam works good. OSD are nice, but if you familiar with your CPU & GPU temps, FPS and such, u don't really need it. It's just good for monitoring and such. But again something that adds OSD is one more app or overlay to get in the way and help crash the game, etc.

DXTory and Fraps are the best. You can get them for free if you just google it. I wont tell you how to do it here, but if you google it im sure you can find them for free.

For showing my FPS I use Fraps if the game doesn't support it's own form of framerate display. I don't do many captures, but Fraps does a good job.

Nvidia are supposedly working on getting built in capture software for their GPU drivers. Unfortunately, it is only for their GTX 600 series and plus. I've tried to force it on my GT 640M and had no luck.

Just for displaying, then I would use MSI Afterburner.

As you can do OSD with it (FPS, GPU Temp, etc.)
Video, Audio, Screenshot capture...
A means of controlling your GPU voltage, clocks and fan speed; fan speed/temp curve profiles.

Others like EVGA and ASUS have similar program, but theirs usually will only work on their brand of GPUs. MSI Afterburner works on mostly all GPUs, from AMD and NVIDIA, desktop and mobile versions.

There is even Afterbuner mobile version of the app and u can remotely monitor and control your GPU from the app on your tablet/smart phone. Comes in very handy.

I like CamStudio + K-Lite Codec Mega Pack. It doesn't display realtime recorded framerate though, since it's constant. An external overlay can be used.

Thanks, I appreciate all your comments. Never use ENB mods so no prblems for me. The only problem for me is Afterburner does not support 64 bit application as far as I know. Not working in my Battlefield 4 64 bit.
Perhaps I should try the softwares that you mentioned. I dont really like Fraps as you need to buy it for full version.

OSD won't work til u go into AB settings and then monitoring tab and toggle OSD on for the various monitoring selections u want it to be enabled for.
