NVIDIA ShadowPlay

Still not out yet and some people even went as far as buying 7xx cards partly due to Shadowplay being an advertised feature.

However it's been stated that ShadowPlay Beta can be activated by adding -shadowplay to the Geforce Experience launch parameters... but it will only work once.

But it does an online check to see if you are eligible for the beta. Is there a work around for this yet?

I presume that if you click on custom install you can chose not to install this. It's not something that i want or need.

I don't want the Geforce experience but Shadowplay comes with that part, so to not get ShadowPlay, just untick the Geforce Experience on a custom install and job done :)
 
What I just learned is that Shadowplay is gimped on Windows 7, due to O/S limitations apparently. You can only record 4Gb files at a time, and the only way to lift this limit is to get Windows 8.

Currently there is no continuous recording available in Win 7, 4Gb or not. A nice feature to combat this at least would be a setting to auto restart recording after 4Gb is reached.

and for me when it hits that 4gb it just stops recording and worse doesn't save the file, so unless you stop it before it hits the limit you have nothing.
 
I just completed BF4 single campaign on easy and will go for it on medium now and grab some footage. Pretty short but not bad. :)
 
The whole 20 minutes thing doesnt mean 20 minute long clips. It means you can regain your last up to 20 minutes worth of gameplay.


IE you're playing, not recording. you do something awesome, but oh no! you forgot to record! No worries shadowplay has your last 20 minutes saved! so you can catch that moment!

Whats more, you can record gameplay just as you would with FRAPS etc with extremely good performance.
 
NVIDIA has been upgrading their GeForce Experience just about once per month, on average. Most of their attention has been focused on ShadowPlay which is their video capture and streaming service for games based on DirectX. GeForce Experience 1.8.1 brought streaming to Twitch and the ability to overlay the user's webcam.

This time they add a little bit more control in how ShadowPlay records.

Until this version, users could choose between "Low", "Medium", and "High" quality stages. GeForce Experence 1.8.2 adds "Custom" which allows manual control over resolution, frame rate, and bit rate. NVIDIA wants to makes it clear: frame rate controls the number of images per second and bit rate controls the file size per second. Reducing the frame rate without adjusting the bit rate will result in a file of the same size (just with better quality per frame).

Also with this update, NVIDIA allows users to set a push-to-talk key. I expect this will be mostly useful for Twitch streaming in a crowded dorm or household. Only transmitting your voice when you have something to say prevents someone else from accidentally transmitting theirs globally and instantaneously.

GeForce Experience 1.8.2 is available for download at the GeForce website. Users with a Fermi-based GPU will no longer be pushed GeForce Experience (because it really does not do anything for those graphics cards). The latest version can always be manually downloaded, however.

Some good additions now with custom resolutions (1440/1600 recordable and more) and custom settings.
