I don't care what people say I'll always love Fraps It'll never beat a capture card Actually it'll never beat anything at all But it gave 10 year old me a way to record and upload my Call of Duty 4 games while it tanked my FPS to 25 on my old laptop And back in the day it was still the main and most accessible option to record your games
I used Fraps to record a Doom 3 review on my windows XP rig, and I was lucky, it only cut the framerate down from 60fps to 30. Granted, that was on a dual core processor with 4gb ram, and having the footage exported to a 1tb usb external HDD. Good times.
the way fraps recoorded footage looks darker is a compression issue with youtube, geforce experience recorded footage has the same issue when footage is uploaded
I love Fraps because it was a better alternative than GFE - in my opinion. I absolutely despise any software than can work offline but doesn't because it needs a stupid login. Fraps was my replacement for GFE until OBS came along. Now, I still use Fraps daily for easy lossless screenshots but OBS for video recording. I would consider buying Fraps (instead of using a cracked version) if they came back to update it + add support for Vulkan and DX12.
I used Fraps a lot to measure average fps, 1% low and 0.1% low. Was really handy that you would get a text file for each game with those numbers. Not sure if you can do that with Rivatuner?

Fraps hasn't been updated since February 2013 and its likely that Beepa Pty Ltd is now just a skeleton crew.
It's probably down to the last guy, and he probably still occasionally gets money from it.

GFE has been replaced by the NVIDIA app which no longer requires a login, and IIRC can also take lossless screenshots as well

I think you still can in rivatuner/afterburner. I know it saves it to a file somewhere in the folder
