  1. Seems like linus posted this video on the 16th, 5 days after I posted this thread. I win linus come @ me bro.
  2. I havn't used Afterburner in an ungodly time. If it truly does this I'll add an annotation or something and compare it to AMD GE
  3. 1. Fanboyism happens on both sides and for equally stupid reasons. Mantle anyone? 2. It does not function as well because it is incredibly NEW. I mean just a few days ago they added support for 64bit BF4, they're still working on it. It's very early stage infancy. 3. I'm sure at some point they'll add desktop recording. Again this system's limitations are only based around Raptr. As of now there is actually another program that can do hot-key loop recording called A's video converter + bluesky video capture. However, the manual is in Japanese so I have had trouble getting it working. The point is that it takes load off of the CPU for those of us with better GPU's than CPU's. The looping feature and recording features can be worked on and changed with time as they are not set in stone. MSI afterburner also has support for VCE now, so if you're trying to dedicated record you can use it almost with any program that allows setting your own codec, an advantage shadowplay doesn't have.
  4. Yeah. There's some hotfixes for certain games like BF4 as is mentioned in the video.(32 bit mode, no mantle, no ingame origin overlay) but It's still in infancy (much like mantle) and I hope to (and expect to) see it improve quickly and soon. Mostly because I can't wait to record and upload more because performance hits were really a drag and it's more of an incentive to play and upload games now.
  5. This isn't a review of VCE. A lot of people (not necessarily on this community but elsewhere as well) didn't know about VCE, so it's to spread the word as well as being a - how to use it / what it is / how it works- type of deal. If a mod deems it appropriate to move it somewhere that's their decision. Mostly I'm just trying to spread information about VCE because I think it's cool that now we have something like shadowplay on the AMD side to make recording easier and less intrusive. However thank you for your concern.
  6. Exactly what I use it for I really need sleep now, but I can't un-glue my eyes from the computer. My trusty hammer always helps with that. I'll post some benchmarks t'morrow.
  7. It's not really well advertised. Most people consider AMD's gaming evolved raptr skin pretty much useless bloatware devoid of any actual benefit in terms of performance. Not to mention most people on the internet still think FRAPS is a good recording software... I mentioned that in the video (about the having to convert the files before you can use them) This german post claims that VCE eats 1/3-1/4th of the FPS of the game while shadowplay only eats 5%? I don't think that's entirely accurate but it's hard to determine because I don't own an nvidia card. Well I do... but it's a 7600gt (I think) that has a dead fan so... http://www.golem.de/news/msi-afterburner-spielevideos-mit-radeon-grafikkarten-aufzeichnen-1405-106697.html Not to mention all the variables we would have to account for cross-brand. Oh well, either way I'm enjoying whatever benefit this grants me
  8. Oh so they're offering support of their own? Sweet, I might have to check this out. I see it does and puts it in an h.264 thing. Very sweet, I wonder how it compares to openencodevfw, mostly because it's probably more refined. I think I might test that too. SHITE, sorry for the double post. I thought Acid's post came after my last one. Oh well =/ Edit: I'm going to see how the performance hit of AMDGE's replay feature compares to consistent recording as well.
  9. http://developer.amd.com/community/blog/2014/02/19/introducing-video-coding-engine-vce/ Scroll down a bit. http://prntscr.com/41j27m If you've got a 7770+ you should be fine. I think 7750 is GCN too but I can't be sure. Either way just download the AMD Gaming Evolved software and it'll let you/not let you use the recording feature accordingly.
  10. Ballin. Any recording software that supports choosing your own encoder works. Anyone feel like posting results they're getting in FPS loss differences? I'll work on mine t'morrow I'm getting tired
  11. What happens when you try to use it WITHOUT a compatible card! Credit to Joao for that link (friend with shitty PC) - Overall I'm enjoying the benefit of it while playing smite. I got some really nice clips with ISIS where I caused a decide by killing EVERYONE! Mwahahah. Just gotta convert it though.
  12. VCE for AMD AND the Gaming Evolved APP lets you record in the loop continuously and then save on the fly with hotkeys. I have seen some performance gain, it would be nice to for people to confirm this. Works with GCN cards. I'm 7850 + i3 2120 so anyone else out there lemme know what gains / losses you see. A bit finnicky. - Video explaining a bit more in depth on how to use it and stuff. It's kind of obvious for this forum though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uETEanVakY0 (If I messed something up in the video please lemme know in the comments or in a post. I'm not the smartest person out there BY FAR ) What is VCE? http://developer.amd.com/community/blog/2014/02/19/introducing-video-coding-engine-vce/ Gaming Evolved for Replay Recording: http://raptr.com/amd Codec download: https://github.com/jackun/openencodevfw Dxtory: http://exkode.com/products-en.html OBS Fork: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-fork-branch-with-amd-vce-support.13996/ I searched for AMD VCE. The articles were old and didn't really mention gaming evolved so... Edit: What happens when you try to use it WITHOUT a compatible card! Credit to Joao for that link (friend with shitty PC, and shitty friend that's a total piece of garbage)
  13. Already mentioned that they were fine. I have a surge detector setup now.
  14. I left it on as I went to work and came back. It had restarted itself... The quest continues.
