I bluescreen every time i try and use shadowplay

I tried it and it records really well. But for some reasin my manual recording turned off after 13 min. Also they said autorecording is up to 20 min but I was unable to set it up for more than 10 min.

Also it is truly not impacting performance significantly.

Just recorded 5 Minutes of gameplay with my Gtx660 on Borderlands 2, worked fine, hardly any performance hit at all, the weird thing is, when the 5 minute timer finished the game semi crashed and it spazzed out hard, I nearly shit myself with the volley of noises coming from the game whilst it had crashed, worked fine after 5 seconds or so.

 

Edit: Upon reviewing what I had recorded it actually recorded the game spazzing out and the loud crashing noise of the game, wonderful, seems as if it's still purely in Beta at the moment and cannot be trusted fully for perfect recording.

BF4, here we come.

Well I get infinite black screen reboot loops when attempting to use this so it'd be nice if Nvidia could sort this shit out.

[zarrexx]

Turn out mine doesn't even work, guess ill just have to wait for an update....

[LOLPhilips]

Wish they'd do something about Rome II

[CyberneticTitan]

You guys can use this thing like FRAPS.

 

Just set recording to manual

 

Shadowplay is a beast. Only lost about 5-10 FPS.

Finally.. Shadowplay is here and its great! The recording is smoother than when your playing! 1 drawback it requires full screen .. Not windowed full screen so you can't have any overlays when u want to record.. But I never use them anyway. I was concerned that I couldn't play in 1440p to record at 1080p but indeed it allows you do do that.. Soooo happy.

How about that actually finish geforce experience and make it support oh you know their own Nvidia surround solution. Geesh come on guys.

I bluescreen every time i try and use shadowplay

I don't bluescreen but since the update Geforce Experience 'Encounters an error' on just about everything i do.
