I am searching for a lightweight program to record games (mainly just Minecraft), I usually have somewhat stable fps but not on recording while using OBS.

Shadowplay doesn't exist on my graphic card, Xbox Game Bar doesn't work either.

Anything actually lightweight I can find is either under a watermark paywall or is a simple app that just records the screen that does really bad when recording games.
 
You know OBS can adjust encoding settings in order to reduce CPU (on behalf of output file size and quality) ?

Recording quality = "Same as stream"
Streaming / Encoder preset = "ultrafast" (lowest cpu usage but also lowest encoding quality)

Then you can increase video bitrate. This is a bad way of compensating, but afterward you can use another tool (e.g. Avidemux) to further re-encode your recording to make the file size to acceptable levels.
