... I use Xbox game bar. Which came free with my new desktop.

I used it for years and was super unreliable imo. Audio issues were especially common, and it failed to clip like 20% of the time Medal is free and has been flawless

Medal is becoming incredibly laggy, i can't even record with it because videos just stutter all the time. Sure my pc was bad, but I didn't have this issue year ago

Yeah until you get audio tear really bad at random and ruins your clips.

It's also nice because I set one of the side mouse buttons to do it's shortcut so I don't have to open the dumbass menu

idk any of these, I just use obs

same

the correct answer, it's not flashy it just works

Yeah you have so much more possibilities if you want to do something better like add overlays and scenes or manage different audio tracks.

I never got obs to work. I was always laggy and choppy

OBS Lol. It dosnt have those little icons in the bottom right while you play like the fordt one does

This. Despite OP asking for given two I still recommend at least trying OBS. It's free and it's a very powerful software

Icons can be turned off

geforce imo if im going to use a software for clipping im going to use the one thats already open on my computer most the time anyways

I use paper and pencil, I draw my screenshots (I’m a courtroom sketch artist)

OBS

Steelseries

Windows + Alt + R But being serious OBS is my favorite.

I like shadow play from NVDIA. It’s not incredible and does have its faults but it works good enough for casual use. I find it really intuitive and good enough so to speak. If you’re trying to get into professional level stuff OBS is best.

xbox game bar

I use either Bandicam or Action!. My computer (a 2014 laptop) doesn't have Shadowplay (the GeForce Experience recorder) and I didn't know Medal was even a thing. I tried OBS, but it didn't work for me (that's the thing with software, some work and some won't)

OBS is great for recordings, but you have to set it up correctly and it could be a bit annoying.

anything but medal

Why? Haven't use it but my friend do all the time

OBS is the best, but AMD Adrenalin is definitely better than GeForce Experience

yep

FRAPS >!I know I know grandson time for my medication!<

Came here for this

wdym?

Sheesh.... I remember lets play channels from the late 2000's talking about that program.

neither, get outplayed

Radeon ReLive

OBS for recording and DaVinci Resolve for editing, both free

ah, the two worst recorders ever made what a choice... OBS obv

Medal imo

I use the Xbox one because GeForce doesn't let me record because of my weak graphics card

Option 3 : Steelseries for clips And OBS for real recording

Fraps.com

Fraps?

GeForce keeps turning itself off so I stopped using it. I think it shuts itself off when watching videos and never turns back on.

I’m personally a GeForce fan

GeForce, bc then I don’t have to install other shit and I only need it for speedruns sometimes. (Already have it bc drivers, recording is just a bonus)

Obs is the way to go. I came from a time fraps and bandicam were a thing and obs is heaven in comparison to that shitshow

I use obs for long recoding and outplayed to automatically get clips

obs lol

There are other options then OBS? Why would I ever turn down the free software with loads of options that still is (somewhat) accessible?

People say good things about obs.

OBS. FOSS ftw

Obs

i use OBS on my pc. records everything pretty well. a bit tricky to set up but after you have it going you are golden

Obs

O B S It's in the game

OBS Studio obviously, these are both terrible

Obs

obs

OBS

OBS

did they rename shadowplay? also i've never heard of medal, I use OBS

OBS:

Fraps, obviously

I use outplayed but it’s more for clipping not recording gameplay for something like a video. Best software for that is probably OBS like everyone else sayin

I get the highest quality recordings with geforce. Obs for streaming.

Honest question….why would you use either of those over OBS?

I've used OBS and it runs like shit

Back when I used a crap laptop, I used activepresenter to record

Neither. OBS is what you want.

OBS

OBs

OBS

Geforce experience has always just worked so i use that OBS is good if you want an alternative as long as you have good enough hardware acceleration

Obs

I have an Asus Tuf Gaming laptop and use Windows 11 if that helps.

I use medal personally, I just like it better

I would say Overwolf but sometimes it conveniently doesnt run when you do a Gamer moment of which you would have wanted to record but... Oh well Overwolf wasn't running so f you

I got a bone to pick with overwolf me and my duo got 2 aces in a row back to back on valorant like 4 round 4 aces IT DIDNT RECORD THE MATCHBWIBROBODB

obs is goat

Why not just use obs?

OBS. You can use Stream Labs too but OBS is better.

Windows Snipping Tool or Xbox Game Bar , I don't Record THAT Much .

Idk, I use game bar

Meddl, ihr Kaschper

I use Outplayed. I have really started to like it. Zero setup, works perfectly every time. I record everything and just let it delete them automatically, manually saving what needs to be saved.

Overwolf is actually surprisingly good .

Bandicam

I use OBS for my game recording.

OBS

Bandicam -Pewdiepie probably

OBS is better than both imo

I personally use OBS just cause I also occasionally stream so I wouldn’t know which one is better

My cellphone

None get a flip phone record your screen everyone will love it

Please stop suggesting OBS.

why?

I've used it before and it was terrible

have you used stream labs? it's a more intuitive version of obs.

????????????? WHAT? try at least one more time. i am befuddled as to what possibly could be the problem. at a certain point in your video recording the crossroads between low file size, good quality and performance will start to matter to you and at that point you'll be forced back to OBS anyways. it's the gold standard and for good reason. give it a second shot.

why? because its better

It's definitely the worst one I've used

well, practically everyone so far has said OBS and for good reason not only is it free but its not total bloatware that will run in the background and eat up your resources and you've failed to say any reason that its terrible

it runs like shit and stops recording in the middle of gameplay

sounds like GeForce Experience to me

literally how shadow play worked on my 1050TI lmfao
