    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay recording software is praised for its smooth, high-quality recordings with minimal impact on system performance, making it ideal for both beginners and users with low to mid-end PCs. It offers useful features like FPS display, sound recording options, and streaming capabilities, though some users experienced occasional recording bugs or limitations with certain games. Overall, it is highly recommended for gameplay capture, especially for YouTube content creators, but more advanced streamers may prefer free alternatives like OBS.

    • “The software includes features such as allowing you to display current FPS, take screenshots, record gameplay, broadcast your gameplay, media overlays, and you can even run a benchmark of your current settings.”
    • “This is a no-nonsense game recording software that allows users to seamlessly record their gameplay videos without expecting any lags in the game.”
    • “By far, I have to say this is the best screen and gameplay recorder I've ever used; its performance is much better than Action Recorder and PlayClaw. I highly recommend it.”
    • “It also tanked my FPS in-game, and trying to play CS:GO or Overwatch when your computer isn't responding because you're recording a gameplay video sucks.”
    • “I recorded a game for 30 minutes and when I went to the folder to check the gameplay I recorded, I found that I was able to fast forward 4 minutes and 4 seconds and then it stopped; it became something like a stream—you couldn't fast forward. When you looked at the captured footage for 20 minutes and wanted to see that last 20 seconds again, the recording starts at around 3:40 again!”
    • “Only good for the desktop record feature; if anyone can figure out what is causing this to not record gameplay such as Rainbow Six Siege, let me know.”
  • optimization
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The recording software is highly praised for its minimal impact on game performance, offering smooth gameplay with virtually no lag or stuttering even on low-end PCs. Users appreciate its efficient CPU usage and customizable settings that balance video quality and performance, making it a strong alternative to heavier programs like OBS and Fraps. However, some note limited updates and features, and a few expect better optimization options despite the overall excellent performance.

    • “The impact on performance is very small.”
    • “Extremeley low CPU overhead, recording/streaming does not impact game performance.”
    • “Even on my last PC, a low-end laptop with a dual-core Intel Celeron, no dedicated GPU, and 4GB RAM, it performed extraordinarily with a very low performance hit on the games you play and record!”
    • “Yes, this recording software is easier on your machine's processor compared to most others, allowing for a better frame rate while recording but can still hinder your machine's performance.”
    • “My PC desperately needs some upgrades; right now I can't record any games with Fraps because I'm already struggling with performance, and Shadowplay is even worse.”
    • “I wanted to change my recording tool, as Fraps indeed needs a lot of performance.”
  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users praise the graphics recording quality as extremely high and visually impressive, especially at 1080p with minimal performance impact on modern hardware like GTX 970 and Ryzen processors. However, some older or less common game engines may require tweaking graphic settings for proper capture. While d3dgear is noted for ease of use and smooth results, some users find built-in GPU recording tools or free software like OBS more suitable depending on their needs.

    • “The recording quality is top notch, I tested this software on multiple games at 1080p and suffered zero FPS drop at all. The end product looked great with stunning visuals and smooth audio!”
    • “I have reviewed this before but as of right now I have used this for so much and it records in high quality with next to no lag. It works great with my new Ryzen processor and Nvidia graphics, so it should help people who need decent recording software that isn't CPU intensive on a laptop.”
    • “Now that is fact, not opinion, the graphics quality is extremely high.”
    • “For example, I couldn't get it to record the Doomsday game engine for Doom without making some adjustments to the game's graphic settings, but I still got it to work.”
    • “There was one older game from 10 years ago that wouldn't record until I changed its graphic settings from Direct3D to OpenGL.”
    • “I bought this hoping that it would be better than Bandicam but it did not even work on my laptop. My system type: 64-bit, x64-based processor / processor: AMD A6-6310 APU with AMD Radeon R4 graphics / Windows 8.1.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the software is mixed, with some users experiencing bugs and unreliable UI, particularly in broadcast recordings, though archived footage remains usable. D3D is praised for smooth, lag-free recording, while alternatives like Dxtory and Bandicam sometimes cause video glitches for certain users.

    • “D3d is a great recording software, runs great, looks great, and lag is minimal”
    • “UI is buggy and unreliable.”
    • “The broadcast recordings still seem to be a bit buggy.”
    • “Recording with dxtory and bandicam often resulted in videos with strange glitches.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users appreciate the ability to separate game sounds from music during recording, allowing for clearer gameplay audio without background music interference.

    • “Finally, I can record only game sounds and dismiss my horrible music from the gameplay video.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect is minimal, with users primarily sharing personal context rather than detailed narrative elements. There is little emphasis on a developed or engaging storyline.
