In its current form Fraps performs many tasks and can best be described as:</p><p>Benchmarking Software - Show how many Frames Per Second (FPS) you are getting in a corner of your screen. Perform custom benchmarks and measure the frame rate between any two points. Save the statistics out to disk and use them for your own reviews and applications.</p><p>Screen Capture Software - Take a screenshot with the press of a key! There's no need to paste into a paint program every time you want a new shot. Your screen captures are automatically named and timestamped.</p><p>Realtime Video Capture Software - Have you ever wanted to record video while playing your favourite game? Come join the Machinima revolution! Throw away the VCR, forget about using a DV cam, game recording has never been this easy! Fraps can capture audio and video up to 2560x1600 on dual-core CPUs (1152x864 single-core) at up to 100 frames per second!</p><p>The latest Fraps 2.9 release adds support for Vista and DirectX 10 games. With games starting to appear using DirectX 10 graphics we are happy to report that benchmarking, video capture, and screenshots are now all fully supported for these titles.</p><p>Vista also includes a rewritten audio subsystem. Fraps can take advantage of this and directly record a sound stream from the machine without requiring any support from the soundcard driver. This allows you to capture ingame audio even if you are using a USB headset or other audio device which does not normally support a &quot;Stereo Mix&quot; or &quot;What U Hear&quot; recording input.</p><p>Since the Vista Desktop Window Manager (DWM) runs through DirectX we have also added a new option to monitor the desktop under Vista. You can now take screenshots and record video from the desktop just like any other game or 3D application.</p><p><strong>Changelog</strong></p><ul><li>Added suport for DirectX 10</li><li>Added option to monitor Desktop Window Manager under Vista</li><li>Added Direct Stream sound recording for Vista</li><li>Fixed screen tearing in video captured from DX9 games</li><li>Fixed G15 LCD output running fast on Vista machines</li><li>Improved resource sharing with multithreaded games</li><li>Added numerous crash and compatibility fixes</li></ul>
