It is free and is com­pat­i­ble with Win­dows, Mac, and Lin­ux. Because it is open-source, the online com­mu­ni­ty can fix any bugs and con­tin­u­ous­ly opti­mize them. The software’s pow­er­ful pro­duc­tion fea­tures and tools make it the best choice over­all. if you want a two-mon­i­tor screen set up so you can adjust the record­ing while gam­ing. With no video length restric­tions, this pow­er­ful soft­ware stu­dio allows you to cre­ate switch­able tran­si­tions, mix audio lev­els, set hotkeys, and even pre­view scenes and sources before push­ing them live.

2.Nvidia ShadowPlay

Nvidia Shad­ow­Play is a screen record­ing appli­ca­tion for Win­dows that is hardware-accelerated.

if you are using a gam­ing lap­top or com­put­er with Nvidia graph­ics cards like GeForce GTX 600 or above so you are lucky. Because it has its own gam­ing record­ing soft­ware. Shad­ow­Play does not affect CPU per­for­mance even while extend­ing its sup­port to high­er fram­er­ates. On the oth­er side, if I talk about dif­fer­ent soft­ware caus­es a great effect on CPU per­for­mance even while work­ing on lim­it­ed frame rates. 

Nvidia Shad­ow­Play has comes in two types: shad­ow mode and man­u­al. Shad­ow mode pro­vid­ed play­ers to cap­ture an instant replay of the last 20 min­utes of game­play. The man­u­al mode comes with unlim­it­ed record­ing storage. 

if I talk about its qual­i­ty to record video for both Shad­ow mode and The man­u­al Mode so you will be able to record up to 8K HDR at 30 frames per sec­ond. or up to 4K HDR at 60 frames per sec­ond and you can broad­cast live its plat­form such as Youtube and Facebook(Meta) Live.

Fraps was devel­oped by Beepa in 1999. It is bench­mark­ing, screen record­ing, and screen cap­ture soft­ware for Win­dows. Using this soft­ware you can record your desired game­play with a res­o­lu­tion of up to 7680 x 4800 and a cus­tom frame rate of 1 to 120 FPS. Apart from that, the free ver­sion has lim­it­ed fea­tures with a water­mark and the paid ver­sion is avail­able with more fea­tures and the cost of the paid ver­sion is under $40.

4.Window 10 Game bar

For the win­dow, 10 users have a pre-installed game record­ing soft­ware which is known as Game bar. Win­dows 10 users can sim­ply use it by press­ing Win­dows key + G. It is easy to use. And about its inter­face, it con­tains a sev­ens but­ton inter­face with all the fea­tures or options that are required to start recording.it sup­ports only full-screen mode on a cer­tain num­ber of games, so you have to adjust to either a win­dowed mode or full-screen win­dowed mode.

5.Radeon/AMD ReLive

Radeon / AMD ReLive is an appli­ca­tion that allows users to share record­ed game­play, cap­ture screen­shots, and gam­ing streams. Record­ing of game­play by Radeon / AMD ReLive is easy because it has min­i­mal impact on Proces­sor. Radeon/AMD ReLive is like Nvidi­a’s Shad­ow­Play. It is an inte­grat­ed game record­ing soft­ware that works in tan­dem with AMD graph­ics cards.
