Nvidia shadowplay, Game bar, OBS, Bandicam (not free)... There are so many game recorders here. Even my RecMaster screen recorder has a Game mode for so called optimized game capture. I have to say, among piles of screen recording apps, either hardware services or top game recorders that support hardware encoding are good choices for game capture. Video settings really matter a lot for users, cos different people has different requirement on quality, resolution, size, editing features and surely price. Just like Splinterdog said: fraps' AVI is too large, bandicam is too expensive....

I bought Bandicam when it came on sale last year and it's excellent with loads of configuration options. My main gripe with game recorders is not with the programs themselves but with the anti-cheat software that many games use, often preventing games from even loading. The Division 2 won't even start with Bandicam running and neither will any Forza games. You can however use MS's own Game recorder which is not seen as cheating.
Figure that one out.

OBS creates no issues with Division 2 when recording, so if you really need to make a video there you go.

I think the most important qualities of a good game screen recorder are
- no watermark
- light-weight and smooth
- record both video and audio
- better to be free

So open source and built-in screen recorders are the best options.

If you use Nvidia graphic card, you can use Shadowplay. It can record your gameplay and also, no performance loss.
