Your video card can record just fine in the nvidia geforce experience software(shadowplay) as it is hardware based it will have almost no impact on your CPU compared to other software solutions.

 

[dandn0ten]

shadowplay, fraps, bandicam

 

[Rationale]

Shadowplay or Bandicam will probably be the best options. I find that Fraps kills my framerate compared to Bandicam.

 

[CodenameHaswell]

ShadowPlay is by far the best (IMO) I bought Fraps a long time ago, and now I only use it to see how many FPS I'm getting

 

[RabiiGames]

Both bandicam and Fraps are good but Fraps will take a lot of FPS when you gonna start recording so if you want the best resolution and graphics choose Fraps but if you want FPS choose bandicam but i recommand Fraps
