Basic Functions
- Performance Testing [2] [3] - displays the number of frames per second (FPS), can measure the performance between two points during the game.
- Image Capture [2] - allows you to capture individual frames in 3D applications (by pressing a hot key), which are automatically saved in the selected folder.
- Real-time video capture [2] [3] - allows you to record video at resolutions up to 7680x4800 and frame up to 120 frames per second (FPS).
However, the program has significant drawbacks. First of all, this is a huge consumption of computer resources during video recording and a huge size of video files after recording. For example, a video file with a duration of 10-15 seconds can reach a volume of about 100 megabytes or even more (depending on the video quality settings).
