While I haven't used every option under the sun for video recording, out of everything I have tried D3DGear is the absolute best. It's simple to use, but with enough options to get the quality I want at what my computer can handle. However, I can't stress enough that if you are interested in this product then purchase it on steam. The version sold here will not update past version 5.00. While it will still record video wonderfully, it won't be able to stream. I purchased it through Amazon and after a few email exchanges with customer support they were kind enough to give me a product code for the steam version for free.

Does what it says, and this is the only recording program that doesn't bog down my machine while gaming.

I can't be happier with how this operates that being said I don't know if it's amazons download or not but when I purchased this and downloaded the full version from Amazon it wouldn't populate the servers necessary to stream where I wanted, when I contacted d3dgear about this they asked for proof of purchase then gave me a new updated download of it and it worked perfectly. So be cautious of that.

I recently bought D3DGear to record some on my games and all I can say is: wow! This program works so well and the recordins look great. Don't listen to those one star reviews that were posted 4 months ago, the program has changed.

One of the best parts about D3DGear is that it is so easy to use. The program is simple and to the point. Everything is easy to learn and understand so you know what you are doing and how to record. I especially loved that you could change the FPS position to anywhere on the screen and have a media overlay (webcam) right in there too! I've recorded such games as: Dark Souls 3, Overwatch, Counter Strike GO, Battlefield 4, and Heroes of the Storm. The only one that caused an fps drop was Battlefield 4 because of its graphics heavy nature. The other games look beautiful and it feels like I in them again when watching them. There was never a point where my frames dropped because of starting a recording. Even though I don't broadcast, I tried the feature and it works great as well and will stream right to Twitch.tv with no lag.

I did not find any bugs or glitches with the program. It did run well on my Windows 10 computer though. I will be using D3DGear again as my high expectations didn't disappoint. I highly recommend this recording, broadcasting, screenshot, multi-feature program to anyone looking for a way to record your games or even your browser or desktop!

10/10

Not stackable with my other recording software, difficult to understand and took too long to find the files where it had saved. Also lagged my system out on even low graphic games. Do yourself a favor and just go for xsplit gamecaster. Its free and much easier to use.
