ShadowPlay or Gaming Evolved

[masked106]

Simple question. Which one to go for? Best all round features and less FPS loss? I know R9 390 across the board performs better but which company is better in terms of recording???

Gaming Evolved does not work with nearly as much as Shadowplay does... for me, thats a deal breaker, only certain games work with Gaming evolved.

And when I tried it, it used VARIABLE FPS capture, which fucks with editors too, so ...no thanks.

It's a huge problem for me to recommend Gaming Evolved to anyone who likes recording.... I'd rather tell them to use OBS if their running an AMD GPU.

 

 

Anyway... Shadowplay's Recording is pretty swank, 1080p/60fps UP TO 4k/60fps capture. And all the resolutions in between..

Have never had an importing problem with an editor either.

 

 

Shadowplay beats Gaming Evolved.

 

But CPU encoding is more High-Quality & beats both in terms of Quality, but not performance.

both are garbage compared to better recording software or capture cards. shadowplay is for people who have never captured game footage and want to try.

Both are balls but I just started giving Plays.tv a try. Liking it so far but I feel Gaming Evolved is less balls.

Some capture cards are JUST as bad,  and can be the same type of quality....  My Avermedia LGP is quite SHIT on quality, the same as GamingE and Shadowplay.

 

OP

(Not seen with CPU recording, if you have the horsepower thats the way to go)

Get the better card, then use MSI Afterburner or OBS (free) or pay for DXtory. I tried AMD Gaming Evolved, it doesn't work (for me at least). Apparently shadowplay is better, but it's not worth it.

I randomly just used MSI's MJPEG Capture (to my spare SSD) @ 98% Quality capturing 1080p @ 60fps and played BF4.

Set two cores to record in MSI.

 

I lost 6-10fps on average (From my 70-110fps range)

 

Just an FYI, I wouldn't say use this, just wanted to see what I'd lose... in terms of performance.

Shadowplay is superior for local recording compare to GE.

If you want to stream though, OBS is nicer

[xentric]

Shadowplay has worked fine for me. The quality seems fine. Also I see little to no performance hit in games.

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

Well both alternatives give 0 fps loss but GE isn't as easy to setup as Shadowplay.

Shadowplay always works, GeForce experience may not always. Work.

What games don't work? Every game I have has worked.

Shadow play is more stable for daily use
