need 3rd party screen capture device

i have been teaching people how to start 3d developing, and have recently gotten into BF3 and medal of honor.

i absolutely love gaming, and back when UT2k4 was big i liked to record vids of me playing. unfortunatly medal of honor and BF3 slow down to a whopping 2FPS when using Fraps, X Fire, and 1 with camtasia.

i need somthing 3d party that i can have a DVI-D in ,DVI-D out and a usb out to gather the vid when im done.

ultimately id like to be able to record full 1080p at full 60-70 fps

I read about something that did exactly this very recently and I can't remember what it was called. I just did a search for it and I came up with something that is kind of similar, though it might be way more than you want to spend, it is called a Epiphan DVI frame grabber and lets you output to a capture station so you can capture full quality 30fps from your main display.

If I can think of the thing I saw recently, I'll come back and update this and let you know. The Epiphan thing is like $700 and I don't think the device I saw recently was that expensive. Though I think the Epiphan is exactly what you describe, with the USB Interface.

to be honest, doesnt even need usb, but i could see that as being the easiest way to get things off of it
