A lot of the time it's best, and easiest, just to use programs like these to record gameplay:

*Bandicam (must use version 1.8.2 or higher if you want lossless recording via third-party VFW codecs)

Line 6:

*MSI Afterburner (freeware)

*Open Broadcaster Software (Local Recording mode) (free software)

**~~Note that it is impossible to get~~ lossless video ~~out of OBS~~, even ~~with~~ settings ~~that produce lossless video~~ or a lossless ~~codec~~. The ~~recording is lossy before it even goes through any processing~~.

**In earlier versions of OBS Studio, achieving lossless video recording was not possible due to inherent lossy processing, even when using settings or codecs labeled as lossless. However, this issue has been resolved in newer versions of OBS Studio. The latest updates now allow users to achieve truly lossless RGB capture, including the ability to record directly to AVI format when properly configured, ensuring uncompressed and high-quality video recordings.

*ShadowPlay (Nvidia exclusive) (freeware)

*CamStudio (Open Source)

Line 20:

By default RA will record at native resolution, to record at a higher resolution, use ''--size'' then specify ''WIDTHxHEIGHT''. You can also set ''--recordconfig'' to use a specific config file when recording. By default, it will only record filters.

To record with shaders, add: ''video_gpu_record = true'' to your config file. Depending on resolution/shaders your performance can take a massive hit. ~~[http://youtu.be/~~jflrB0UIcFE Example video.]
