On-the-fly recording of footage with an H.264 encoder is coming to AMD GPUs with the upcoming "infinity" RadeonPro version. It leverages the VCE (Video Codec Engine) built in to HD 7000 and higher graphics cards (article on the VCE on anandtech: http://www.anandtech...d-7970-review/9). The ingame FPS will not be locked to the recorded frame-rate.

The article was posted on the RadeonPro website in August, but I couldn't find any mention of H.264 video recording with AMD GPUs.

Oh god. And I thought AMD cards already cost as much as NVIDIA...

I hope this is true, would be nice to have a go at recording some gameplay.

Indeed, I've been feeling a bit jealous of nVIdia users since their recording thing was released. In particular in MMOs, putting any kind of load on the CPU like Fraps does can kill my framerate.

I was just about to say that. If it offers close to or the same quality as QuickSync in full mode then that's awesome.

By the way, anyone with an Intel CPU that supports QuickSync (like the i5-2500K for example) can use its onboard H.264 encoder to record video without any performance impact. The drawback is that not many programs supports it yet, but RivaTuner does (just barely).

How is performance of RadeonPro anyway? Is it based on CCC or are they based on the open source drivers?

 

Kind of off-topic but damn that website is awful. Who thought it would be a good idea to put white text on a gray background? It is really difficult to read.

Imagine if a hack or work-around could be done to allow nVidia Shield streaming via Radeon cards.. ;)

if this happened I'd probably consider getting a shield.

Still wondering why the guy that made RadeonPro isn't head of AMD's driver division, given that he single-handedly solved their frame rating issues half a year before they acknowledged it was an issue, introduced real frame pacing at least a year before nVidia did, and is giving us accelerated video encoding.

Welp, no reason for me to stick with nVidia now then.

Both, I think. I believe all the A10 APUs use Radeon 8000D graphics (and it states Radeon 7000+).

If it doesn't work on APUs, it's just as good. I don't know what you plan on recording on your APU..

Up until now, there has been hardly any software supporting it.
