Nvidia Shadowplay Vs Fraps
The geforce experience beta has taken shadowplay the built in gameplay recording feature of nvidia s gpus to a whole new level but lets stack it up agai.
Nvidia shadowplay vs fraps. In this shadowplay vs. Local shadowplay or fraps. When i replaced my dead radeon hd 7950 with a new gtx 1060 i was looking forward to smooth video recordings with shadowplay. Shadowplay s dvr style instant replay mode already recorded it.
I tried to search everywhere with help of google and on rc7 forums too ipacs de but there is almost nothing of rc7 related to shadowplay only one video on yt from rc7 recorded said with shadowplay but author is not responding. This will also explore whether or not it makes sense to use gvr with nvidia devices considering it is compatible and could theoretically replace shadowplay if performance were solid enough. Shadowplay 60fps game recording at only 370mb per minute. You will get smaller file size but you still have to compress it to upload to youtube.
Unfortunately the stuttering is constant and incredibly noticeable especially when compared to the silky smooth 60fps fraps recordings. Shadowplay for me is alt f9 record alt f9 handbrake. I decided to benchmark the three utilities to show the true performance hit from using capture software. I use shadowplay because all other software i ve had a massive pain try to get working.
Gvr benchmark we ll look at framerate hits from capture percent delta advantage between amd nvidia devices and space requirements. It works as game recording software to manually record gameplay videos for as long as you want all at up to 8k hdr at 30 frames per second or up to 4k hdr at 60 frames per second. There s even stuttering when recording at 30fps for shadowplay. But once twitch streaming starts up having that h 264 encoder on the gpu will help a lot reduce cpu usage and provide a much better stream.
Obs dxtory fraps playclaw i can t get working for shit. In this shadowplay vs. Fraps are slow for recording i tried also dxtory but with that huge logo over half of video is annoying. Local record over fraps i doubt there is going to be a big difference.
