This is amazing for instant replays. I've had no problems with it so far.
[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;42690296]I remember reading somewhere that they might support laptops later on.[/QUOTE] I guess it depends, does anyone know if the mobile chips have the encoder in the chip? If not, I don't see it happening.
[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;42690296]I remember reading somewhere that they might support laptops later on.[/QUOTE] yeah, later on when the next generation of mobile nvidia gpus comes out you aren't getting shadowplay without a dedicated encoder, and (apparently) the current mobile gpus don't, otherwise there'd be no reason for them to not be able to participate in this beta
Can this work with live streaming as well?
I launched Skyrim and wandered about for a bit, trying to find something neat to record. I entered the tavern in Riften, turned around, and was greeted by this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRsI25IC2gE[/media] Never seen this before, the timing was quite impeccable. Raw footage looks great, but uploading it raw to Youtube seemed to lower the quality quite significantly. No noticable performance impact when running ShadowPlay either. But I am a bit bummed I can't use it with windowed games though.
Goddamn I have an XFX Radeon Oh well, there's always MSI Afterburner.
Just a heads up, not sure why it wouldn't work but this does for sure work flawlessly even with the use of three monitors, for any of those wondering. :)
holy fucking shit not saying that nvidia makes bad products, but I really hate that they make everything exclusive for their cards only. I understand that it's competition and all, but come on nvidia, be a good sport. you're already doing great
[QUOTE=RichyZ;42693525]its specific to their cards legitimately though its not like physx or whatever[/QUOTE] yeah I know, that H.278 or whatever chip. should've said that I meant kind of in general
series 600 or higher i have a 580. gg. [editline]29th October 2013[/editline] However, I don't understand the AMD buyers that come into [I]every[/I] thread about Nvidia and demand that Nvidia software be globally usable. I don't know if it's a hardware thing or just a company thing, it's likely half and half, but why the [B]hell[/B] would Nvidia produce products so that everyone, regardless of which company they support, could use them for [B]entirely free[/B]. Because they're [I]"already doing well"?[/I] What the shit kind of logic is that? It's not a legitimate problem in my opinion. It's just whiny complaining.
bit harsh but [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/tick.png[/img]
Shame that people with beastly 580s and such still cant use it though a 650 could.
Wow 770's are only $330 now. I sort of want to pick up a second one but even when I had two (cross-ship replacement) I realized I don't really play games that need that much power and it doesn't make a difference in most games that I play... But shadow play is pretty fucking sweet. They just need to make it so you can configure recording different channels like vent or teamspeak so we can cut it out and what not. Other than that it records flawlessly.
[QUOTE=Aurora93;42680977]yeah rip amd when nvidia didn't get a single contract for any eighth gen console[/QUOTE] yeah, all three. amd probably was willing to do it cheaper than nvidia would
Seems cool so far, but I wish you could bind keys to record different lengths of shadowplay instead of being stuck with whatever you set it to in the options.

How do you think they are doing this?

It wouldn't be able to capture [I]just[/I] the contents of the window, it would record your entire desktop.

Why the hell would they want to literally help the competitor when it's a war? "BTW ENGLAND YOUR GREAT AND ALL BUT WE'RE HAVING A WAR HERE HAVE SOME AMMO"

[QUOTE=sirdownloadsalot;42696757]Update your driver[/QUOTE]Really :v: ? Also, I don't need to use that EVGA thing to control the LED on my GTX780.
Shadow play seems to capture from Windows Media center for some reason.
I'm just happy I don't need to be actively recording and going through large files
I have a lower end Nvidia card, time to see how it runs! [editline]30th October 2013[/editline] Nevermind I don't meet the minimum requirements. :( [editline]30th October 2013[/editline] Honestly if this ShadowPlay stuff is as cool as it seems, I'll be going with Nvidia when I upgrade!
Maybe I'm missing something but there doesn't seem to be a way to save the shadow recording [i]and[/i] continue recording from that point on in one continuous file. Would be really useful.
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;42680299]Eat your heart out FRAPS[/QUOTE] Fraps has an advantage over this: it can do completely lossless recording, and almost-lossless too (just with 2x2 chroma subsampling, which is the default). This records in H264 which is not a very ideal format for editing; Fraps is better in that regard.
GTX 770, tried it on a few games Planetside 2, working smoothly Bioshock Infinite, a few drops here and there but nothing that would hinder the video too much after edtiting. Crysis with a few "real" mods, a few major drops but i believe it has more to do with the processor i have. I think. It also seems to be able to grab games that don't usually work with fraps, older 90s games and stuff made in RPG maker. Neat.

For people who just want instant replays or to just upload unedited footage to YouTube I can see it being a lot more popular than fraps.
GeForce GT 220 welp there goes that Apparently I don't have the Intel Core either

Chroma subsampling is not an issue because most people don't colour grade or chroma key game play footage. This is more of a feature for people who want smaller game play files.
