Fraps overview

What is Fraps?

Fraps is a Windows application designed to help gamers capture images and videos from computer games that utilize OpenGL and DirectX graphic technology. The benchmark functionality lets individuals gain visibility into the number of frames per second (FPS) while playing video games.

Key features of Fraps include video capture, user management, multiple image format support, and benchmarking. The system enables players to measure the frame rate between two points and save the measured statistics to the disk, which can be used for reviews and existing applications. All screen captures are automatically timestamped and named. It can also capture audio and video with custom frame rates from 1 to 120 frames per second.

Fraps works best with AMD Radeon or NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, and it supports all modern CPUs from Pentium 4 and above. The application allows individuals to assign a button as the video capture hotkey, which can be used to record movies of the game.
