• Nvidia releases ShadowPlay - Records Video While You Play At no FPS Loss

[url]http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2013/10/18/shadowplay/[/url] Technically a week old but nothing posted yet about this [quote]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.

Eat your heart out FRAPS
Nifty, probably does encoding on the gpu [editline]28th October 2013[/editline] Yep, I can't read
"available exclusively to GeForce customers" God fucking damn it.
Tried it out, only lost like 4 FPS, which is [I]pretty good[/I] Wish they'd let us change the settings a bit more tho, I don't want to record at 60fps Although I'm sure they'll add that later, it's still a beta
Tried it with my GTX 650 Ti, so far so good. I barely noticed any FPS drop. Things like this makes hard to use an ATI card for me. Should I feel bad?
Really hope AMD comes up with something like this. I guess they kinda have to, this can be a deal breaker, especially taking into account the let's play phenomenon.
Played a bit of Batman: Arkham Origins with it on earlier. There was very little loss of performance, and the resulting video was really superb quality (~27Mb/s H.264 at 1080p). It came to about ~200MB a minute, which would be roughly ~12GB an hour, making it much more suitable for recording long sessions of gaming than the likes of FRAPS. I'm looking forward to seeing how well the Twitch integration will fare when they add it by the end of the year.
fucking kill me I have a gtx 640 and they require a 650

I hate that you need a fat HDD with loads of space for fraps since it basically just records raw video, which is insane. Raw video is great when it matters but for game videos you really don't need it 99% of the time. Meanwhile this records directly into an MP4 so its already in the format you need and at a much much smaller file size.
Saw this thing when updating today. Looks pretty neat.
No love for my SLi'ed 570s :(
[QUOTE=ZachPL;42680581]No love for my SLi'ed 570s :([/QUOTE] This only works because the 6xx or newer cards physically have H.264 encoders in them.
recording eyefinity 1080p on my 680 will post results
I'm getting a new computer and this is perfect will post results as soon as I can
I just tried it and it works really well.
first g-sync and now this lol rip amd
i'd like to see some footage recorded from it, preferably with minimal editing
as a youtuber, holy fuck I love you nvidia
Dammit, I only got a GTX 560 and a quad-core Intel CPU, 2.66GHz aaagghh

[QUOTE=meppers;42680901]first g-sync and now this lol rip amd[/QUOTE] yeah rip amd when nvidia didn't get a single contract for any eighth gen console
Was very excited to use this, but my CPU doesn't meet the requirments. Still running a core 2 quad q6600 2.4Ghz overclocked to 3.10
FUCK i have a 660.....M
It's pretty cool, only thing I don't like is that it won't record my voice. It'll record my friend on the other end just fine, but not mine. Hopefully they'll add in audio in recording, but it's still easy enough to work around.
I actually gained an FPS increase from using shadowplay, which is weird as fuck. Probably my CPU downclocking without recording at the same time The quality is also excellent, I recorded a video with it yesterday and this is what it looks like: [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnqZmHSDyrI[/hd]
I'm only seeing up to 10 minutes in my settings.
Welp, gives me even more reasons to switch to nvidia.
Works on a 650m ?
When I go in game there's a red line through my shadowplay icon. I meet the requirements, so not sure what's going on
