How to capture ingame video without slowing down the performance

[THE ROCK CS]

Hi everybody

I need help, I play Battlefield 3 a lot and I want to record in game video, with Battlefield 2 I used GamerOsd but GamerOsd with Battlefield 3 its just too hard for my CPU, same as Fraps.

Is there a way to capture in game video with a hardware devise or something? something that is not slowing down my pc?

Thanks

Hi THE ROCK CS

I have a HTPC exclusive to play emulators and record my games from my Default PC.

My HTPC is C2D E6600 + AverTv HD + 4GB ram + Windows 7 Professional 64bits. Very nice records a 720p@60fps, no delay, no lag, none.

Make a HTPC and never get problem to record any PC games.

Thanks for your comment, only i dont fully understand your anser, a HTPC is a verry small pc right?
You use the second video output of your main pc and link it too the video-in port on your graphic card from your HTPC?

No. My HTPC has a AVERTV HD DVR card. Its have HDMI input.

My schema:

PC1(DSKTP) output ATI 6850 crossfire via HDMI(Primary monitor) to AVERTV HD DVR (low profile) on PC2 (HTPC).

Record using AVERMEDIA (MPEG2 30.000 btr) or VIRTUALDUB or AMARECTV (UT Video Codec)
