AMD's 'Shadowplay'

[Scramz]

I am not sure if this has already been posted, i did search but had no luck so please delete if this is duplicated.

I know AMD are developing software for game capture with AMD's on-board H264 encoder but as an alternative, I am currently using the H264 Encoder with Dxtory with fantastic results.

This supports AMD APU's and GPU's.

The feature set that Dxtory has is brilliant when it comes to controlling the quality of the capture. I am currently recording at 50,000 kbps on a high profile with no noticeable performance hit! Plus very reduced file sizes.

You can also use Bandicam to utilize the hardware encoder but I prefer Dxtory because of the freedom to control the quality.

Dxtory is slightly buggy for 60+fps capture but Bandicam works perfect for that.

The codec packs are here https://github.com/jackun/openencodevfw

There is a tutorial i found on youtube:

50,000Megabits per second? Is that one of those euro commas and you really mean 50.000?

Didn't see this thread, thanks

This will help people who prefer the feature set of Dxtory.

Yeah that is true Dxtory is still number one when it comes to recording games.

But that does support the rewind feature, so you can have it record something you missed.

That is a great feature the rewind.

Where the files are fairly small and tiny if any performance hit, I leave it recording all the time and i keep recordings to a 4gb size so it is easy to delete unwanted clips without rendering the sections you want.

I just start / stop recording, or if its a case of "oh i missed that" Hit the replay hot key, "got it now"
