So glad that this program exists, saves so much time with trial and error! Only game it doesn't work well for is world of tanks and thats only because I've got an AMD processor..

I have to say I like what AMD have done here... I'm really enjoying using the app - with my Nvidia GPU.

Do you find it works as well for the nVidia compared to geforce experience?

I like the way the GeForce Experience app gives you a little explanation with in-game screenshot as to what each of the graphical features does to the game. But I like the way the AMD Gaming Evolved app has 'Performance', 'Balanced' and 'Quality' settings for their optimisations. Because I've got a GTX 780 (will also have a Radeon 290 as of Monday) the Nvidia app basically just throws out super high settings, like 'Ultra' everything on Battlefield 4. On a 120Hz 1080p monitor that really doesn't make much sense, but on a 60Hz 1080p monitor it does. The 'Performance' optimal settings suggested by AMD are a bit better.

But I tend to like tweaking things manually depending on the monitor I'm using. I really got the AMD Gaming Evolved Center to see how this rewards system works. I was sort of surprised it all works as well as it does even on an Nvidia GPU - the Steam integration is a nice touch as well.

Yeah I know. I've got a Radeon R9 290 coming on Monday so I won't feel so dirty then.

Makes sense. Im sure nVidia will steal the idea soon enough

So is this any good? Just downloaded it for the first time with the 14.2 drivers. It has found only 96 games, though I have a lot more.

Really, how?

They still lack the one feature that Nvidia has that i want and that's ShadowPlay. Nonetheless the Gaming Evolved client is growing rapidly.

The AMD Gaming Evolved Client powered by Raptr has surpassed 5 million users! We blew past this tremendous milestone just last week and only eight months since the launch on September 25th, 2013. This now may be the world’s fastest growing gaming community. And this news gets even better: The AMD Gaming Evolved optimization tool has also left our competitor in the rear view mirror with a total of 189 games now officially supported!

I didn't used to install the Nvidia app because it seemed bloated. The AMD app puts that into perspective!

I'll tell you one thing thats not bloated and that's your underpants.

Is there anything actually unique to the AMD flavour of raptor? It's nice showing a table of features vs GExperience but anyone can go install Raptor so it's a bit moot. Eg: I have it on my WHS box to track my XBL/PSN achievements.

Im new to AMD Gaming Evolved and just wanted to ask is there any difference between this and raptr?

Good question. Not totally sure but i think you can only earn points and rewards under the Gaming Evolved APP, i think you can only optimize your games under it and i think you can only record yourself playing games using it.

Do you know if there are any issues with the Evolved app connecting to Xbox Live? I read on google people had issues with raptr but that appears to be an old build.

Truth be told mate I've not tried. I do have an Xbox Live Account but i never use my Xbox much so have never tried to link them up. I know it's supposed to be possible though. I've linked my steam account with no issues mind.
