VLCplayer has been really bad with the mp4 container for me for ages now. Switched to MPC HC and haven't looked back.

This is great. You should see my Fraps folder. A damn mess.

This looks really interesting. Is it completely integrated into GeForce Experience or can you use it separately?

Vids are a bit muddier than FRAPS, naturally, but you can't argue with the performance and it certainly saves me some time in terms of the workflow - particularly if Youtube is the destination.

Once they implement a file-splitting capability for constant recording ala FRAPS I will probably switch over entirely.

Tried quickly in Black Ops II.
Performances hit seems almost inexistent. WTF O_O

The quality of footage is fine for my YT purposes.

With a wider set of options would be perfect.

Just downloaded it and tested it out. Seems to have little to no performance impact and I really liked the quality of the output file. Gonna try testing it out with some more games (LoL in particular).

I've noticed a minor performance hit, but it is like a 2 - 3 FPS on average, at least going off this Batman: AO benchmark.

If you can't get raw footage out of Shadowplay then it's a failure in my books.

Does it also capture 60 FPS or is it capped to 30?

I know it can stream to twitch with 60 FPS.

Some of us actually play games where performance matters.

Besides, why would you ever need anything other than FRAPS to capture RAW?

In hopes that Shadowplay, if it supports raw, would offer better capturing performance, of course.

Really cool, just a shame about the 10min max on W7 despite quality settings

Silly question, but I like to have streams/music on in the background, is there a way to filter that out and just capture in game sound in general for footage? I noticed in Shadowplay settings that you can choose "Sound - In game/Off", but it still captures everything

Well isn't the whole idea of ShadowPlay that it uses the hardware h.264 encoder?

Just tried it out - the quality is very good, perf hit was minimal - seemed to be around 5-10% in BF3. It records at 60fps which won't show on youtube, so it looks even better than the videos linked so far. Are there any reputable video sharing sites that play 60fps?

Did a benchmark recording with ShadowPlay on Batman Arkham Origins:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79wfJ...ature=youtu.be

All settings on maximum (including PhysX), 4xMSAA. For comparison, without ShadowPlay recording:

Minimum framerate seems inconsistent and unreliable, seems to dip massively during transitions between scenes, however actual real gameplay doesn't experience these transitions.

One advantage of recording in 60fps is that you can do smooth slow mo effects.

Can also confirm that the recorded video is choppy when played through Quicktime (not sure why this was the only video player I had on my PC) but as soon as I installed and played it on MPC-HC the playback is silky smooth. My performance hits are negligible so this is a pretty awesome piece of software.

1080p is the limit resolution of ShadowPlay? So if I'm playing at 2560x1600, SP will max out at 1080p for recording?

The output will be 1080p, it shouldn't change what resolution you're playing at.

I just spent a few minutes trying it out on a few games. I'm really impressed so far but there is one flaw I've noticed. It doesn't seem to record hardware-rendered audio, such as using OpenAL or DirectSound3D with your sound card. For most modern games this isn't a problem, as few support hardware sound, but I'd like to find a solution if possible.

Played a little more on Arkham and man, this thing is great. You really get to capture what you want, when you want and at such minimal cost.

Recorded an hour an a half of footage at 1080/60 and it was 19.1GB @ around 37mb/s.

It's kinda funny seeing as only two weeks ago I bought a 3TB hard drive specifically because I thought I'd be using FRAPS.
