I used to think that AMD ReLive was a sufficient alternative to NVIDIA ShadowPlay until I actually used it. It does a good job of recording the games and even has some features that ShadowPlay doesn't (such as being able to separate your microphone's audio stream into its' own .mp4 file), but it misses out on features as basic as sorting each recording by the game it was recorded in. You may think it sounds like something small, but I couldn't imagine sorting through the 400+ recordings that I have from the past four years of using ShadowPlay.

    And Nvidia's encoder is probably quite a bit better than AMD's

    Most people don't use any Driver specific features.

    God I wish shadowplay had that

    thing is software like OBS fixes most things Shadowplay can't do, but not with Relive because those are often hardware limitations. Polaris (I think even Vega?) doesn't have hardware encoding support for h264 for example, the most commonly used encoder out there. It can, however, encode h265 with hardware which is just, AMD, wtf are you thinking?

    Are you sure? I'm pretty sure that Polaris can encode in H.264, that's kinda a basic display adapter feature.

    @DrMacintosh Calling it "doesnt have support" is technically wrong, but VCE 3.4 has essentially worsened h264 and cut away B-frame support to gain h265 support. Btw the previous one, VCE 3.1 found on Fury and a couple of APUs is also a cut down, this time of VCE 3.0 in the 285/380/380X and only in speed. Would be interesting if someone grab a VCE 3.0 card and make it compete with Polaris in h264.
