Very good, able to run at at ultra settings with DSx2 as well, sits around 100fps most of the time as crossfire scaling is great. It can drop down in the 50s on a packed grid at the start, but I've really cranked up all the eye candy, pretty impressive at 1440p as well. Once you pull out a few corners, performance settles down nicely.
Game is great now, having so much fun with it.
No, the raw footage is nowhere near as smooth as the game was playing when I was recording.

Mind telling me them or sharing link bud? Will be on Discord in morning anyway, will talk to you then.
Well thank god for the game is atleast smooth then.. I too notice the issue with the playback. It would drive me nuts. I guess some people are more sensitive to these sort of issues compared to others.
In regards to MSI AB recording its just part of afterburner program when you download that, you access the settings for it on the second last tab in AB settings if i recall correctly. For the recording to work you will have to have RTSS running in the background, like you would if you were using the overlays.

Yeah I know all about the recording feature of MSI AB, I was just asking nexus for the particular settings for it. I just always used 90% quality, mjpeg for compression I think and 1080p60fps.

I could see it more in the first part of the video and hardly at all after that, It is there but it is minor and all that really matters is that it's not happening for you when playing the game. Other than that it seems to be recording nicely.
Thought it was reddit but think it was this one:

More or less the same as what you used:
If this is just purely for youtube, you could change frame size to 1080P 16.9 as some of the big youtubers have said that most of their audience don't bother going any higher than 1080P, although that is for tech and vlog channels, might be different for the gaming community....
Obviously it will still impact performance somewhat especially compared to relive but I find it pretty decent.
Where is my 17.1.1
where is my freesync support for rainbow six siege and The Division just to name a few.

My thoughts:
There is a visible judder on your video, but according to your sig you have a freesync monitor. My guess is that it appears smooth while playing because of the freesync monitor, while ReLive is trying to put a highly variable 100fps+ input into a 60fps constant video (as highlighted in the quote). This would surely exhibit judder similar to using vsync.
As for the ReLive drivers themselves, I unfortunately had to roll back to 16.11.5 as I was experiencing the same multi-monitor flicker as others have mentioned

thanks mate. Yep back on the earlier drivers for myself also, getting that horrible screen corruption which is a well documented issue when using multiple monitors....i think it's related to clock frequency or memory frequency or something lol.

Yeah I think there's something buggy in the current wattman implementation for Hawaii (and perhaps other) cards, which is messing up memory clocks and display timing when using more demanding display configs.
Well I updated drivers today.
AMD settings window became totally unusable either never opening or showing a corrupted transparent window box.
Feeling skeptical I then tried a game in WoT with something unimportant and the game locked up with a card stopped responding error about 30 seconds in.
Great driver.
So scrubbed it out and I'm back on 16.11.5
Teach me to update when everything is working fine.

what a driver updater? yeah just open the tray icon and click "updates" in the bottom left of the window.
Yeah I'm waiting for this too. part of me is tempted to roll back but I'm trying to just wait it out.
Would be great to hear from AMDMatt on the situation

I have submitted bug reports and also asked on their forum, nothing. No one seems to be talking about it at all. Also from what i can gather it seems HDMI Freesync is a bit worse off than DP but im not completely 100% about this as im only going by rough google searches and finding any info about it is difficult. A lot of people seems to be totally ignorant about freesync working or not and dear trusty AMDMatt do not seem to be able/want to respond about the issue either(Not that he necessarily should, i just hope he will at some point
)16.9.2 Works perfectly for me but i then have to battle the annoying target temp reset bug over and over and over....ohh and over..
ive done that now a million times.. tried clean installing without DDU using AMDs own uninstaller, ive tried upgrading the drivers, ive tried install through device manager, nothing works except rolling back to 16.9.2 and it doesnt matter how i do it either. Thats the only driver version that works for me across the board in terms of freesync support. Ive even spoken to Asus support (my monitor is an Asus) and they pointed their fingers at AMD saying its a driver issue. My own research seems to indicate that there is some sort of bug with certain monitor models and freesync over HDMI due to the fact that every time i saw someone with HDMI freesync capable monitor having issues it was always the same 3-4 models. Im no engineer however so its all speculation on my part.
