What would give better fps?

[Prodigydeadeye]

A GTX 760 recording using ShadowPlay or a R9 280x recording using Fraps?

[PillowSmoke]

760 shadowplay.

[Phllips]

In my opinion id rather something that performs better when im not recording and slightly worse when recording but that's my opinion

Good point

MSI has some type of recording feature that comes with their cards, maybe it is some type of Shadowplay too? I know it is not it exactly as I saw them on AMD boxes too

I think you're referring to MSI Predator, not sure how it works though.

 

 

Just get the 280X, use Dxtory and you're golden. Although Shadowplay is such a good feature. (for me)

[Almercenary]

Blah, blah blah, shadow play is awesome blah blah blah. I would still personally get the 280x, due to it being a better performing card when you stop recording. Just my 2 cents.

Open Broadcaster and Dxtory is a good recording combination that doesn't hit the CPU as much as fraps, Logan has a video on how to set it up.

isn't it Riva Tuner ?

Learn how to use OpenEncodeVFW with Msi Afterburner/DxTory with AMD GPU. Very little performance hit unless it's an unoptimized DX9 game.

I use OBS, and it runs fine.

[flibberdipper]

Get the 280X and use DxTory or OBS (if you're streaming).

I use it for my card and it's a Sapphire. Not as efficient as xsplit, but it gets the job done for free.

Just tried that and it works amazingly. Having used a 760 with shadowplay the performance hit with this is almost none. (used msi afterburner)

[Rekx]

What about getting a gpu from Nvidia that matches r9 280x in price/performance

*cough* gtx 770 *cough*

[gigabyte]

Well go for a 280x or a 770 if you can fit it in your budget, a 280x outperforms a 760 any day because I'm 99% positive you won't record 24/7.

What game u tried it on?

[hal9001]

It would be very similar, but when you aren't recording the 280x would destroy the 760.

[GuideMe002]

280x > 760

[Clarkey]

760 would get better performance while recording with fraps on an amd card. But fraps is terrible.

 

What you should do is get a 770 they are similar to the 280x in performance and price.

[xAcid9]

Is TS really from Japan?  :lol:  In Japan GTX760 is much cheaper than 280x.

[xtelemonx]

What game u tried it on?

bf3, bf4, and arma.

A GTX 760 recording using ShadowPlay or a R9 280x recording using Fraps?

I have a problem with this comparison. The R9 280x is a over $300 card (idk where you live but USA is where I live) and a gtx 760 is between 200 and 300 dollars right now. Why not compare a gtx gtx 680 or gtx 770 which you can get between 300 and 400 bucks used which I have seen 2 different gtx 680s for $300 on ebay for buy it now price and the gtx 770 for 350. The 700 series (besides the 780 and up) is just the "rebranded" 600 series with a few improvements. If you really want shadowplay which really doesn't hurt your FPS from what I find using it then get a used gtx 680 (680 would def give better performance then the 760 and better or similar to the r9 280x) or a gtx 770.

 

In short, my suggestion is a gtx 770 (what I have and works fantastically) or a gtx 680 used.

I have a policy about not buying used PC parts. I am crazy I know. I think it is a fair comparison. At the time of this post, I could have gotten an R9 280x for $290 dollars. The GTX 760 was priced at at least $250 dollars. These are American prices. The GTX 770 was a little more expensive at around $340. These were from Newegg. Now, using a GTX 760 and recording using ShadowPlay, I would take a very small hit to performance. While using an AMD R9 280x and recording with fraps, I would take a larger performance hit, possibly bringing the fps down to the level of performance of a GTX 760. I was wondering which would give me better fps while recording using these two solutions. Price had nothing to do with the post. I would pay an extra $40 for a bit more performance while recording and even more when not recording.

I am looking at American prices.
