Becoming familiar with these tools is key to enjoying your game. You can record the game and the bench rate by selecting F11, then tweak it in the FPS tab. The frame rate counter appears while Fraps is running. Monitoring your game's benchmark will appear in-game. This means you will always have to keep this in mind if you do not want to cut your recording. Taking the old school approach, Fraps exits the program entirely when you hit X. Many programs similar to Fraps minimize the system tray when you hit the Close system button. You can also go to General tab to minimize the system tray - a simple but important option. Under the General tab, you can choose to have Fraps start at launch, or disable the default in the header menu. The Movies tab acts as your main page since it features the recording tool. When you first open the program, you'll see four tabs: General, FPS, Movies and Screenshots. Fraps has fallen behind more modern screen recording packages, and the lack of updates from the developer is discouraging.
