It is probably an issue with firefox. I tried chrome and its working fine. Are you using chrome?

yes i do use chrome.  I also use Waterfox, and it didn't happen there.

I believe you're right and it could very well just be firefox.

Hello.

Is there a way for shadowplay fps counter to appear only in games and not when watching youtube and other videos?

It was working for me this way before recent update, but now its showing fps on all videos, only in full screen though.

Alright, thanks. One more interesting thing is that i can toggle it on and off in games, but not when playing videos.

I always leave shadowplay on. I don't usually see it running anywhere else other than games though.

@Jurkin so i tested every setting that i could find. and i could not get shadowplay to show me my fps while watching YouTube in fullscreen.

 

However, if i enabled desktop capture, i was able to stream youtube, but the fps counter still did not show up.  (when set to shadow mode, the status indicator did display in youtube, but not fps counter)

 

I would try disabling desktop capture and see if that fixes it, as that is the only thing that i can think of that would cause it, even if it isnt doing it for me.

I get same results with desktop capture on and off. With it on shadowplay indicator is blinking and fps showing in other corner. I havent reinstalled windows for a long time, so i might try that.
