Support NeoGAF

[Luigi87]

Lol, I'll be installing my GTX 1070 today, replacing my old AMD. I just downloaded GeForce drivers last night so I wouldn't have to worry about doing that today and could just install them right away today, now that was pointless, lol

Still this is pretty good timing and gonna be glad to be back on the Nvidia train.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Don't do what I just did.

Uninstalled the damn thing so I could untick the box that asks if I want to automatically optimize my games, thinking I was opting out of the whole system scan. Turns out it does it anyways.

Dunno why GeForce Experience insists on scanning my computer for games if I don't want them messing with the settings.

They turned up all the settings in WoW so the game ran at like 10fps. The fuck. Can't even imagine how much they messed with the settings of all my other games now.

Weird, it didn't change any game settings for me.

The optimal settings are a joke though. It wants to set everything to ultra in Overwatch and other games that I know my pc can't handle.

 

[Durante]

It loads faster for me than the old version, so that's a plus.

That's in fact the only thing I want out of an update.

Actually, even better would be letting me start and stop Shadowplay without opening Geforce Experience, because then I'd never need to interact with it at all

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Well this GeForce Experience does alot of things that rub me in the wrong way so I set everything to manual for now and this account-requirement is plain unnecessary but yeah they said it was coming :/

 

[twobear]

the chromatic aberration in the screenshots is killing me

That's not chromatic aberration, it's subpixel antialiasing.

 

[Spacejaws]

So if you need to log in you cant use shadowplay offline?

 

[MCD]

I signed in using my gmail account. Make sure you check your email for verification otherwise it will gives an error when signing in.

 

[Koeta]

it does load up much faster now, it was oddly slow before lol.

 

[Vlaphor]

It's not letting me turn off the microphone indicator in games. I have the shadowplay indicator on, but if I try to turn off the mic indicator, then nothing happens.

 

[4jjiyoon]

i used the beta of this for a while and hated it so i went back to the previous version before they altered the ui. i won't be updating anytime soon. unless something forces me to.

 

[Nzyme32]

Why specifically Steam? Is there some integration going on?

 

[Ogawa-san]

It's been a while since I tested it so I don't know if it's new, but windowed capture/streaming works perfectly even without desktop capture enabled. It's pretty handy, I might leave shadowplay and instant replay on now.

I can't get twitch streaming to work though, it instantly fails. No issues with Youtube.

So if you need to log in you cant use shadowplay offline?

You need to log in to do anything with the app, literally. It probably won't even auto update your drivers if you don't, considering you don't even get to see settings until you log in.

So it's only possible to save the last 5 minutes with Shadowplay now? I liked it on 10 minutes. Or am I missing the setting, I don't like the setting menu.

Shows up to 20min for me, regardless of resolution and bitrate.

[DirtyLarry]

My guess is it has something to do with games optimization but it could be more.

 

[jaaz]

Not just Steam. It did the same thing for me, but with Corsair Link.

 

[phant0m]

Been using the beta for awhile now, its 10000% better than 2.x

 

[Sky87]

''We are unable to register you at this time'' and ''we are unable to log you in at this time'' constantly.

 

[Shadowhaxor]

Does it still insert the Nvidia branding into the title of your Twitch stream? The day they forced that was the day I went back to OBS.

Nope, it does not. It even lets you add an overlay now as well.

 

[Lister]

Not just Steam. It did the same thing for me, but with Corsair Link.

Maybe anythign that has overlay injectors on 3D apps?

 

[Shadowhaxor]

You can save up to 20 minutes now. It's under instant replay - customize.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Well if I like something about the new GFE, it's customizable

 

[Systemwarrior]

If I'm already using the Beta, will it auto update or do I have to download/install again?

 

[KainXVIII]

That's in fact the only thing I want out of an update.

Actually, even better would be letting me start and stop Shadowplay without opening Geforce Experience, because then I'd never need to interact with it at all

But now GE show its stupid overlay every time i run the game or even watch videos (press alt+z blah-blah)

 

[Starviper]

I'm primarily excited about the memory usage going from 200+MB to 88

 

[fantomena]

Can't log in with Nvidia user.

 

[jrcbandit]

Guess I'll be uninstalling Geforce experience since it now requires a login/email to do anything. There's no reason to give Nvidia my email and require yet another username/password for its features, sigh.

 

[Setsuna]

Why is there a popup every time you imitate a Shadow play recording?!

 

[Dick Justice]

How do you get rid of that notification whenever you start recording? It shows up in the video, which is beyond idiotic.

 

[Majine]

Still not optimized for 4K monitors and is a blurry mess.

Better luck next time I guess (sigh)

 

[Sword Of Doom]

We have to create an nvidia account to use this now? For a while I was using shadow play for recording but then when I found out about its impact on performance I uninstalled it. Now I'm thinking about using it but I see no reason for why they'd want me to log in. Not happy about that

 

[Justinh]

It loaded up faster for me than the old version, but I uninstalled it because of forcing you to log in. I did create a Nvidia account for it, but eh... I don't use shadowplay "Share" that much at all anymore anyways.

How do you get rid of that notification whenever you start recording? It shows up in the video, which is beyond idiotic.

Wow, that is dumb. I just looked at my test desktop recording and... yeah. It's there. I wonder if it does it for the Instant replay thing, too.

 

[Wagram]

I just made a dummy account to log in. Nvidia doesn't need my information.

[Gojeran]

I'm on a SSD too, and the old version is certainly not quick to start up. I'll test the new one when I get home.

Also running mine on an ssd and yes it needs to open much faster. Usually when I open it I think I've crashed my PC but it's eventually sorts itself out. Do love the program though for steaming and recording it's really easy.

 

[Dick Justice]

Well it's faster, but the UI is utter shit now. Shadowplay especially. Used to be a lot simpler to adjust settings, now it's much more fidgety, in addition to the notification bollocks whenever you start recording.

 

[KainXVIII]

I just use google account and give away my very private information (birthday) so nvidia can use it in their evil schemes.

 

[potatohead]

We need NV control panel to be updated now so it doesn't take 10s for every setting change.

Use Nvidia nHancer.

It has way more options to adjust game settings and runs faster.

Only reason to use Nvidia CP is to change general video settings like resolution and colour depth and add custom resolutions.

 

[Arulan]

You mean Nvidia Inspector?

 

[Onyar]

why they want me to log in?

I tried to login with google account, this is what nvidia want from my account:

 

[potatohead]

I used my Google account, whatever.

They want their program to be an application/games launcher. Good for them.

Don't see what this update benefits me as a user though. Automatic game settings is dumb (for my user personally). Didn't bother with that.

Not even sure why I upgraded it tbh.

You mean Nvidia Inspector?

Yea my bad that thing. Lol.

 

[KainXVIII]

Yeah, but its ok by me.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

Been using this for a couple weeks. Tons of bugs. Sometimes I'd hit alt f10 to save a clip and it would take like 30 seconds to respond and then make my game craaaawl for 10 or so seconds.
Seems worse than the previous GFE.

that was beta though. Hope it's fixed.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

No longer able to set time limit on video recordings ? (seems to be 5 minutes only now, and record when you start and stop)

Edit - Never mind found it, customise under instant replay.

 

[Caayn]

Any news about a new GUI for the Gefore driver? It's high time that got an overhaul, the current one is slow and frequently freezes.

 

[VolticArchangel]

I'm on a SSD too, and the old version is certainly not quick to start up. I'll test the new one when I get home.

There's this bloatware that goes by the name of "AMD GAMING EVOLVED". You'd wish you hadn't installed that POS (included with every new driver for fun!) on an SSD...

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

That's in fact the only thing I want out of an update.

Actually, even better would be letting me start and stop Shadowplay without opening Geforce Experience, because then I'd never need to interact with it at all

Seems to load up almost instantly here (the new version).

 

[potatohead]

One nice benefit of the update.

Apparently I can record in 1440p and 60 fps now, instead of being limited to 30 fps on 1440p.

 

[MUnited83]

New UI is terrible. What's with everyone going so hard for minimalistic these days anyway. It's a lot less practical now.

 

[Lonely1]

It's quick, but I'm on an SSD.

I'm on a SSD too, and is not quick. :S
