I recently went back to Nvidia after years of AMD. I haven't installed GE yet and was wondering how many of you lot use it. Is it better than fraps for showing fps and taking screenies/vids?

Ta:)
 
I use it and love shadowplay, it has other handy features like downloading latest drivers (automatic or prompt to do it manually) , optimising games and the profiles are mostly pretty good selecting max settings on my rig bar a few games that it suggests to lower certain details. Also handy for streamers although it's not something I have tested.

As you are on SLI the latest driver provides even better performance when using shadowplay in SLI (And it was pretty damn good before!)

+1 from me
 
I install it these days purely for shadowplay which is a good alternative to fraps but fraps also has some benefits that shadowplay doesn't have.

Shadowplay is by far the better option if you want to capture realtime gameplay though.
 
Never use it myself. I use Afterburner as a one stop shop for everything. Awesome program.
 
I use it for driver updates, id like to use shadow play for recording gameplay. But with my upload speed it would take weeks to get them online.
 
i use it for updated SLI profiles and occasionally shadow play

for example when Metro redux came out it had no SLI profile in the current driver but after running GFE and rescanning for new games and clicking update
SLI was working fine without having to wait for the next driver release

the only problem is it needs to run 6+ system processes which stay running even after you close the app

since i dont use it all the time i set them to manual in services then created a batch file to stop/end everything it runs when im done using it

Thats GFE being removed from my system then! And if i can get a dual bios 980 i can probably remove Afterburner too. Heck i barely have anything installed anyways maybe 6 programs but your pc runs like it is on wheels.
 
I don't. As for Shadowplay I'm able to use AB's NV12 option (what Shadowplay uses). It has the same buffer/shadow feature too.

The exact reason I don't use GE. I removed it too.
 
I use it for driver updates and on some games I let it optimise but it doesn't always seem to apply the right settings such as BF4 I can run higher than what it recommends and Metro LL I had to to turn of Advanced PhysX but other than that its quite good
 
I got a strange bug with it a while back when optiising bf4. With one card it set everything to max. After i added a second card, ran it again and it set everything to medium.:eek:
 
Do people still count processes these days LOL. I Surly if they aint using CPU or excessive ram its ok to have over say 70 processes running on a modern CPU.

currently running a 2700k @ 4.8 with 16GB of ram and i tweaked my system so i only have 39 processes at startup after everything is loaded
and averages around 52-56 after i open steam, orgin and firefox and afew other apps

maybe counting processes is a relic from the XP days and is not really needed with my spec on windows 7 and beyond
but TBH even if i ran an 18 core xeon with 64GBs of ram if i dont use a feature or process i dont want it running or installed on my system

i dont have a shield so i dont want 3x NvStreamSvc running all the time
im not always recording or need to update my drivers/profiles so i dont need GFE and its various over processes running all the time either

im a bit a neat freak with a touch of OCD... ;)

Fair enough:) I agree if you don't have a Shield there should be the option to torn off processes.
