Hi, just been wondering whether i can use my new r9 290 to play games, while my old 6950 records them. Or at least a setup to that effect.
thanks
thanks

no need just get the right recording software and settings and your fine.
biggest difference is setting recording on a different hd to the game you recording.
most games can be recorded at 60fps capped now easily.
It would be a nice idea, if it were possible. However Midget if you use GameDVR to record via the Gaming Evolved APP then the fps hit is very small and virtually unnoticeable.

As a single card user you should be using GameDVR dg. It uses a part of the chip that is separate from everything else so there is no performance hit but the quality is excellent, coupled with small file sizes. It's Shadowplay for AMD essentially. As soon as it works with crossfire, i will be all over it. CAn't wait actually, i take a chunky fps hit whenever i bench/record and upload it to youtube.
matt all games i record are at 60fps anyway
so makes no difference too mesounds okay but if its like shadow play which has poor quality compared to other progs then you better off with fraps and dxtory still.
once youtube gets it its ripped apart anyway.
your comment made the thread!Glitching and blocky... Yer, looks just like the red team
Only joking btw![]()
