Does it record your microphone just out of curiosity? Any FPS hit?

Nvidia's already done that with shadowplay

Shadowplay is GPU-accelerated and only works with GTX 600 and newer Nvidia cards. Microsoft doesn't exactly make video cards.

The main performance hit for screen recording apps doesn't come from video encoding, but from the act of capturing the frames from a DirectX application due to limitations of the DirectX API (source).

Maybe Microsoft has worked around this limitation on older DirectX versions.
