    I'm creating a channel for YouTube and I will play GTA V (PC/Xbox One) The Crew (Xbox One) and BeamNG as my main games and I need a screen recorder that is free and good. I need it to not lag my computer to hell, capture games at the same fps as the game is playing at, not have an obnoxously huge watermark as default on it. I have tried Fraps (watermark) and Ice Cream Screen Recorder (records at 15 fps regardless). I have Nvidia ShadowPlay but BeamNG is not on the list of games that can be recorded, yet it still shows the Nvidia GUI on the top right of BeamNG and displays my fps and such. Maybe someone can tell me a good recorder that is free or a one-time pay cheap recorder? Or tell me how to use ShadowPlay on games that aren't Nvidia oriented? Because GTA V, GTA IV, Half-Life 2, Counter Strike, and TF2 are the only games showing up on Nvidia GeForce Experience. I have a giant list of games installed on Steam though.

    I have an Nvidia GTX 970M with an Intel i7 4720HQ processor in case someone needs to know that.

    Xbox One records fine because I am a cheater by using "Xbox Record That" feature putting on OneDrive.

    ShadowPlay is my favourite, and it's a lot more able than meets the eye. In GeForce Experience, open the ShadowPlay menu, set it to Manual recording, set quality to custom using 1080p 60 fps max bitrate, set your temp folder and storage folder to a better place, then go to GeForce experience settings to the ShadowPlay tab, and check off "Desktop capture" This is important as it allows you to record any game and even other applications and your desktop if you want.

    Now you have 1080p60fps high bitrate video recording anytime, capturing anything by pressing Alt+F9. Since it's hardware compressing through a video driver, it neither slows the computer nor needs to be open to work. You can reduce the file size by compression when you edit, which you'll be doing anyway if you're making youtube vids

    Turn Shadowplay on and in GeForce Experience go to Preferences > Shadowplay. Under the image of monitor there's a tickbox "Desktop capture".

    Try Open Broad Caster Software. It's free, and you can record up to 1080p60fps!

    I have Open Broadcaster but it saves in FLV, which isn't supported by my video editor. I converted the FLV and it was at about 20 fps, yet the number at the top right (from Nvidia not BeamNG) saying "65 fps" is very clear.
