recording PR: BF2

My perfomance is terrible on Fraps

Same for me. Maybe my Fraps version is too old and the new ones have better video compression, but I stopped using it because it killed my fps and the files were way too large.
I'm using Bandicam atm because my graphics card doesn't support Shadowplay.

In that case you probably have selected the wrong video stream in the "sources" window.
Watch the Youtube Tutorial I linked and there shouldn't be any problems.

You could also have a look @Bandicam. It's easy to use and it has various options of codecs to choose from. But you'll "have" to pay for it, if you want to get rid of a few annoying things. Same with dxtory, but that's a bit more advanced.

If you are getting bad fps with fraps or codecs like "Lagarith Lossless Video Codec", most likely your hdd is too slow, or you are recording on the same hdd, as you play on (that's always not recommended). Fraps is a program, that doesn't compresses your video like the h.264 codec (shadowplay, bandicam, etc.) and therefore has a huge impact on your hdd.
