1.OBS (Open Broadcaster Software)

OBS (Open Broad­cast­er Soft­ware) is open-source soft­ware for video record­ing and live streaming.

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.
