GeForce ShadowPlay! Live Video Recordings with "0" Lag!

Guys yesterday I tried the new utility that nVidia released, ShadowPlay. Essentially it enables the hardware h.264 encoder onboard of the GeForce Serie 600 and 700 video cards and does live real-time on the fly h.264 encodings of your game at a very low performance hit.

I recorded and Hydra Kill at 1080p 60 fps @ 50Mbps max quality, the video looked sweet i could swear I was playing instead of watching a video, and the best of all It introduced Zero Lag to my gameplay. The video lasted 7 minutes and weighted 2.3 GB.

Then went on to record Ifrit, Garuda and finally some Coils Turn 2 through 4. One thing I didn't expect is that it also recorded our Mumble voice chat, wich it supposedly wouldn't do, but it did, so I'm happy :cool:

Bumping it up

I used this already to record some Batman Arkham Origins gameplay already. Worked GREAT! I was using it to record our FC's BC T1 run last night. But figured people wouldn't want to watch a bunch of wipes... Hehe!

Why do I feel people are using forums to advertise! T_T (not just here on a couple of other posts)

Sounds fun tho! :3

Well for people that like to record game sessions this a big thing. Live recording always meant reduced game performance and/or hard disk trashing, so this is a great tool that I just wanted to share with you all... I wouldn´t recommend buying a new video card just for this, but im sure for those that already have a GeForce card in their rigs this is great news. And the price is just right... (Free :p)

NICE!!! I've been waiting for this since like June or so, when it was announced.

Lawl I know, I just didn't have much to add but wanted to say something? xD


But Yarrr!!! hardware acceleration is awesome, :O
I'm well aware of the reduction on resources requirement it produces.

Anyway! Happy recording! :D

Ohh Wow, they must have just added FFXIV to the list of supported games because when I downloaded and installed this a few days ago for my 660 GTX FFXIV was not listed. I did try it with BF4 and it works great, thanks for the post OP!

Ty for the info. I'll try it tonight :)

Still needs improvements...
a) no custom resolution
b) can't record in windowed mod
c) ability to record in constant framerate
