Looking at your specs I don't think you need to worry about this app using 16MB of ram in the background lol.

GM you really do surprise me things you pick on. Haaa
Ram usage? Really them days have gone when we had program to clear ram. Ram cleaners haa

Remember one of my PCs only has 8GB RAM!
I've seen this PC use around 7GB, could use more than that when I'm not looking.
28MB would make it the 5th highest RAM usage on my PC.

Even then it wouldn't be bad if I got something out of it. But using 28MB RAM and however much HDD space for no reason seems silly.

shankly1985 · 20 Jun 2014 at 16:06

You used 7Gb ram this including while running a game? Out of my 16Gb most I have ever used is 35% around 6GB and that was while running a game.
On desktop it's around 2gb mark.

2014 and we having a discussion on ram use lol

GoogalyMoogaly · 20 Jun 2014 at 16:30

Yes, while running a game. Or was it video encoding, was definitely doing something.

Most of those games you can pick up really cheap either in the MM or in sales.

The app was rubbish at optimising games for me which is one of it's main functions. Still see no reason for me to re-install it.

It come along way since its first release. With its massive following now getting the best settings for your games is becoming much better.

I used it a few months ago, quite a few games it couldn't optimise as well. It's just not for me and I blame Matt for getting me to use it

Don't use it. In fact, none of you should be using it. Means I've more chance of winning the free games.

The odds are so great you'll be winning lots of things. :rolleyes:

So besides raptr points etc... Is this DVR feature available now (in beta form) through raptr? Might see how it reacts to not having amd hardware.

Available for some, not all. I wonder if they pulled it because of problems, or whether it's just rolling out slowly.

Article on it just popped up. Excited to try it myself.

Am I right ? This isn't an AMD utility it is coded and managed by some third party ?

shankly1985 · 20 Jun 2014 at 19:33

Don't think nvidia can use it as the recording features uses amdapp

Yes though support and feature set is aimed directly at amd users

Only one way to find out!

AlamoX · 20 Jun 2014 at 20:16

nvidia users can use it and get their games, the only thing they wont get i think is gpu driver update.
iv been using the app for about 4 months, i won a silver code for 2 games, and have 8k points with which i can buy some game, the app never spammed me with adds, and while playing like a usualy do, i get a free game every 6 months or so, not a bad deal i guess.
titanfall is at 25k points though, it's like over a year of using the app...
im not into streaming i have 1mega dsl, and not into uploads either, but i know a lot of ppl would like the new feature.
optimisation i dont know, games are always maxed out for me with a 280x... but in the witcher 2 ubersampling was enabled thing that droped my fps sub 50.

Update
@shankly1985 @radeonpro We're fixing a thing, it'll be back soonish!
