FRAPS vs BANDICAM [Side by Side Comparison]

Basically just a visual performance test between FRAPS and Bandicam.

Things to note:
Fraps aims to record almost perfect quality and 60 FPS, but the file sizes can be massive. Bandicam has noticeable loss of colour, and suffers high contrast especially with darker parts of the video. On my PC, Fraps generally seems to give me a constant 60 FPS, while Bandicam fluctuates. Bandicam's file sizes are extremely small however.

Verdict: If you're looking to record professionally without a capture card, Fraps is the way to go. If you have a lower end PC, or you simply don't care that much about perfect video quality, then Bandicam will do the job.
