    If you have a recentish Nvidia card, Shadowplay works pretty well.

    You can use Open Broadcaster Software(OBS), It is free and extremely powerful. It is mainly a streaming program but you can also record and save it. https://obsproject.com/

    Yeah, totally agree. Shadowplay is really the best recording software you can get. The only problem is that it can only record if BeamNG is in Full screen so if you do higher quality videos with free cam, etc... You always need to siwth to windowed mode again to acces the editor wich is really annoying. Shame you can't acess the Editor in Fullscreen.

    Specifically a 600 series or newer.

    Personally I use Fraps to record all my gameplay footage.

    If you get the latest BETA Drivers, and the latest version of Geforce Experience, you can enable Desktop Capture. That's how I recorded a Minecraft video. It basically captures the whole desktop.

    I use MSI Afterburner, although sometimes you need to change its display server settings to recognise certain programs.

    I personally use fraps for everything I do, though I would like a H.264 screen recorder like shadowplay for AMD cards.

    Fraps is okay-ish. It sucks up your FPS and the file sizes are way too big.

    That's what I use for my YouTube videos. Check them out to see Fraps and BeamNG. *wink* *wink*

    If you use a GTX 600 or 700 series video card I suggest using the Shadowplay feature. IT IS AMAZING! No performance loss or anything. I`ve already tested it on BeamNG Drive, TF2, BF3 and Payday 2 and the outcome is really impressive. I saw almost to none graphical decrease or performance loss. Record at 1080p.

    And here is the best part: It`s 100% free, but like I said it requires a GTX 600 or GTX 700 series graphics card, since only those cards have the in-built chip that provides the recoring at no performance loss.

    Of course... the best solution is a capture card on a secondary rig... but I doubt that'll happen for you.

    I would use OBS, and if you can enable the iGPU in the bios and use the Intel Quicksync encoder, in my usage it is better than NVENC (Nvidia shadowplay encoder) and has no performance loss.

    This is what I use, with Intel Quick Sync Video it is not slowing down game, I can capture game even if it runs in a window and it is so easy to hit one key to record other to stop.

    Video quality is very much same as in game, I record at 60fps which makes video to look much nicer than lower fps.

    Another good thing is that there are no shady companies behind it to suck money out from you or your videos.

    I just wish it could cut clips and put them on right order and keep same compression in new video file, that is all editing I would need, but there is none of such, lot of editing software tend to put out poor video quality or glitch out, or cost a lot.

    I'm senile, but I think there was such topic recently just like this, I thought I had posted in that, but could not find my post in this thread, well it is nice to see that same questions are in minds of people still.

    Might be useful to combine threads so that next time person looks such info, there is less old topics to arise.
