Need a screen capture tool that wont kill my FPS

[-Setro-]

I need a screen capture tool that wont absolutely murder my FPS.
Free or not, I'm desperate.
I don't have a GPU, but I have 4 cores. Anything that can utilize one of the cores that are doing the least work?

I don't use most of the features in OBS. I need something simple.

right, then go ahead and dismiss literally any suggestion because it apparently does things too well.
you can just....not use those features. it doesn't inhibit you using screencap.

I'm not saying OBS is useless, it's just too advanced for me because I'm stupid.

OBS is fantastic if you know how to adjust the settings and can even utilize multiple cores to spread out the load of work.

Then just don't use them. OBS is the most lightweight and simply designed software out there. Compare this (OBS):


To this (MSI Afterburner, something a lot of forumers have been recommending lately)


If you need help on using OBS, look up a tutorial on the basics.

Fraps or an external dedicated capturer. I have one and works like a charm. You need a second video cable though and a media to pass your data.

Then just use the basic features of OBS!

I'd try OBS Multiplatform is OBS is too hard for you.

Don't you need a GPU for afterburner?

He was comparing it to OBS, not recommending it.

The thing with OBS is I have to play with the codecs to find out which one best fits my computer

Try Afterburner. It's the best I've ever used if you don't want to kill your FPS. It's more than just a screen recorder, so it's not the most intuitive, but it's worth it.

Yeah, I'm sure he'd like to pay over 50 bucks just to capture his screen...
