Best way to catch hackers [Using Nvidia Geforce Shadowplay]

[Tom Miller]

Ok so, if you are like someone like me who does not have alot of hard drive space to record 24/7 with fraps ,or if you are someone who lags very bad when recording this is the program you need.

Things you need:

1. Nvidia geforce graphics card
2. Latest Nvidia drivers ([url]http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us[/url])

What is ShadowPlay? (I'm copying and pasting this from the nvidia blog)

ShadowPlay has two user-configurable modes. The first, shadow mode, continuously records your gameplay, saving up to 20 minutes of high-quality 1920×1080 footage to a temporary file.

So, if you pull off a particularly impressive move in-game, just hit the user-defined hotkey and the footage will be saved to your chosen directory.

The file can then be edited with the free Windows Movie Maker application, or any other .mp4-compatible video editor, and uploaded to YouTube to share with friends or gamers galore.

Alternatively, in manual mode, which acts like traditional gameplay recorders, you can save your entire session to disk.

The beauty of ShadowPlay is that, because it takes advantage of the hardware built into every GTX GPU, you don’t have to worry about any major impact on frame rates compared to other, existing applications

So if you did not understand what was just said there pretty much how it works is instead of constantly recording with fraps and taking over large amount of hard drive space and cpu usage, You just hit the shadowplay button (default is alt + F10) it will instantly record the past 10 minutes of your game without you actually recording. All you do is hit one button and the file is instantly created in the default folder for shadowplay.

Good luck catching hackers and hope this helped.

Im getting a new GFX card just for this feature :P Im sad my 580 is too old to use the feat of strength from Nvidia.

You'd be silly to upgrade from a 580 just yet.

As of yet, having proof of a person "hacking" doesn't seem to do much good in regards to getting him banned anyways.

Not necessarily. 580's are beast cards but the 780's are pretty good for the money.
