Try using plays.tv, works like a charm for me.

If you have an Nvidia card, I'd go with shadowplay as it uses your cards GPUs which reduces system lag and FPS drops whilst recording.  Can be used to capture the last 20 mins or constantly. Best to record to a second internal hard drive, again to reduce system drain.

AMD = Plays.tv

NVIDEA = Shadowplay

I personally have used both due to the fact I used to have an AMD gpu and cpu but changed to intel CPU and NVIDEA gpu, and I can tell you first hand that shadowplay seems to perform better and doesn't impact on fps in any noticable way!

I've used shadowplay extensively and what I've found is that if you record to the same HDD as your operating system, you get a noticeable performance drop. If I record to a usb 3.0 external drive, I get frame drops on the video, but when I record to an internal stand alone drive, there's no performance drop or frame drops.

Fraps, OBS both give me FPS drops when recording, most likely because they use system resources rather than the GPU.

Whatever you chose Jaun, let us know how you get on and what you prefer
