FRAPS

What is FRAPS?

Fraps is a versatile Windows application designed to capture, record, and analyze the performance of computer games utilizing DirectX or OpenGL graphics technology. Its screen capture capabilities allow users to take still images or record video from various media sources, with support for custom frame rates ranging from 1 to 120 frames per second. The application's benchmark functionality provides users with real-time visibility into the number of frames per second (FPS) while playing games, enabling them to measure the frame rate between two points and save the performance statistics for later review or integration with existing applications. Fraps is compatible with a wide range of modern CPUs and graphics cards, including AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce, making it a valuable tool for gamers, content creators, and developers alike. The ability to assign a dedicated video capture hotkey further enhances the application's usability, allowing users to seamlessly record gameplay footage with a single keypress
