AMD’s HiAlgo acquisition brings gamer-friendly tools to Radeon Software experience

That stuff in the OP looks a gimmick at best tbh, and given AMD have bought it, i guess it will get adopted into Raptr and will just become more bloatware i ignore...

That Raptr thing was only any use when i could get gold tickets from it for free games, since they stopped it, its now basically worthless bloatware as far as im concerned.

They said on live stream it will be getting added into Radeon settings. The guy has signed a contract with AMD Radeon Technologies Group not raptr.
Raptr isn't owned by amd.
 
OBS and XSplit can both do recording and streaming too. XSplit uses the Nvidia and AMD codecs and OBS uses the Nvidia one and the new rewrite may support the AMD one too (both also use QucikSync). Both are free although XSplit locks out some features unless you have a subscription.

The thing that neither of these do, not sure about Mirillis, is that they don't give you the facility to not be recording but then if something good happens record the previous X minutes of footage.

Action does :D let's you set how meny mins you want. It's called timeshift on action.
It's the best all in one recording software out there, honestly and I have used almost them all.
 
If you buy, Don't buy action from steam go direct to official website and get it cheaper. www.mirillis.com/en/store/onlinestore_action.html

Good that it does the timeshift. Not something I'd ever need as nothing special ever happens in my games...
The free apps cover my needs currently (which generally is "I don't need to").

Also, if anyone plans on using it to produce YouTube videos that you'll monetize or any other project that will create revenue you need the Commercial license not the home one. Not sure which one is on Steam.
 
That Boost video is absolute trash.

Inlaid comparison videos at a fraction of the actual native resolution used to play which are not even able to resolve the perceivable difference in Resolution/Image Quality with an FPS overlay. Get off.

Never mind the video skirting around the huge difference in visual quality loss running a game at a non-native resolution of your monitor. Also, how nicely will this play with Anti-Cheat solutions?


How about, just set the game to a resolution and quality settings that achieves playable frame rates on your rig.

If they can somehow do what Forza does on Windows 10 into Radeon settings for use with games I can see this helping some people a lot.

How meny times have you bought a new game and first thing you do is tweak the settings till you find playable or turn off crap that isn't needed. What if all you had to do was set a target frame rate and the game would automatically adjust settings on the fly. Forza has proven that this is very possible and I can't even notice what it's changing on the fly either.

I'm sure Forza's native solution for dynamic adjustment works great, I've not used it however.

My point is that the video promoting Boost is a complete and utter snake-oil fest.

Does Action allow you to record a subset of your resolution?
I play games on 6036x1200 resolution, and use dxtory to capture the central 2133x1200 and downscale it to 1920x1080.

But dxtory has issues with a couple of games (like DooM). I havent found another recorder which does the display window recording though.

You mean like this? You can select a size you want to be recorded etc.

I doubt very much that it will go into Raptr and not Crimson seeing as they don't own Raptr.

It isn`t worked on any more, as the guy that made it now does stuff for Raptr, but RadeonPro has capabilities for recording.

You can also change framerate, quality & video recording size too, quite handy.
