Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This small yet functional program measures the performance of your system during DirectX and OpenGL games. Fraps displays frames per second in any corner of your screen. It can save the frame rate to file each second or perform custom benchmarks and save average, minimum, and maximum FPS values between any two points. Fraps also can capture audio and video in real time. In our testing, video capture didn't slow our PC much, even when we recorded at 30fps. Finished movies were of good quality, though the demo adds a watermark. You also can set a hot key to capture screenshots to BMP, JPEG, or PNG format. Our only complaint was that Fraps selected a suboptimal driver for recording sound; we used the Windows Default option to choose the right one. That's a quibble, though. Fraps provides the features gamers need to benchmark their systems--and to prove they own the competition.Publisher's description
From Beepa :Fraps is a generic tool for DirectX and OpenGL games.
In its current form, it performs many tasks, including benchmarking (see how many frames per second you're getting in a corner of your screen; perform custom benchmarks and measure the frame rate between any two points; save statistics to disk and use them for your own reviews and applications); screen capturing (take a screenshot with the press of one key, with no need to paste into a paint program every time you want to capture; your screen captures also are automatically named and time-stamped); and real-time video capturing (record audio and video while playing your favorite game at up to 1,024x768 resolution at 30 frames per second). Version 2.9.4 build 7039 includes several changes such as added 64-bit Fraps FPS1 codec, added support for resolutions up to 2560x1600 on single core CPUs, fixed crash when recording with sound under Vista SP1, and other improvements.

Version: Fraps 2.9.4 build 7039
Pros: Very popular video game recording software.

"Newest Version Killed My Framerates"
Pros: I was using a much older free (30 second record limit) version of FRAPS, (don't recall ver. number), and it had been working fine on my Windows XP system to record Flight Simulation (FS2004/FS9) videos. Today I decided to update my S/W to this latest 2.9.4 version with the intent of purchasing a registration. However, this version has absolutely killed my framerates (from 35-45 FPS before down to 5-7 FPS). Deleted 2.9.4 and tried to go back to earlier version using "system Restore" but it wasn't there. Now it seems I'm out of luck using FRAPS, and a potential new customer has been lost.
Cons: Kills framerates and will not allow backing up to earlier version. Bummer!!
