I have AMD. I don't have the specs because I'm not at home right now but it's a very bad one I'll try GVR but I think my PC is just low end and crappy I can play most games up to 2013 but anything after that is just no. XD

Fraps sucks (or sucked). It doesn't compress anything and you end up with 20Gb videos.

 

As many said Shadowplay is a good option for Nvidia from the 660 generation.

 

Another very good alternative (and a free one) is the screen recorder included in WIndows 10 (it's even lighter that shadowplay)

 

And I approve TTT : handbrake rocks and you need no skills whatsoever to compress your vids while keeping quality with it.

I have a laptop (i5, 8GB ddr3, GeForce 640M). Until recently I couldn't play at 60FPS, my FPS averaged 20FPS. Only after buying a cooling pad, cleaning dust from the went, applying new thermal paste, and slightly overclocking graphics card my laptop gave me 50+FPS average.

I wanted to record some solos for challenges, but finding software is really difficult. My graphics card doesn't support ShadowPlay, FRAPS sucks, MSI afterburner simply kills performance. Open broadcasting software gave me best results, but even there I have to record at 30FPS in 480 (but sound gets delayed and glitchy).


So, if you don't have a system for it, just stay away from recording. If you have good hardware to deal with it, finding right software won't be difficult. It simply comes to finding what fits you.

If you have windows 10 the integrated recorder might be worth a try

Might help if you actually post some basic system specs, because what sort of system you have does have a bearing on what recording software might be best, i.e. all the shadow play recommendations are worthless if you've got an AMD card or integrated graphics. 

GPU MSI 560Ti Hawk (no shadow play because that's supported from 600 series and up)

CPU I5 2500k

8 gigs of ram DDR3 1600

Windows 10

Almost same specs except the GPU. I have GTX 760 and it records via shadowplay without any problem or noticeable drop in fps when recording ME3.

Why is everyone recommending FRAPS?

 

 

becuase im an Old Grumpy Space Wizard  and i dont like new tricks and spells

 

I just use the youtube recommended, so 12mbps bitrate and h.264 codec for 1080p/60fps source video 

 

I do prioritize upload speeds over quality and I assume yootoob's recommendations have the same priorities, and so as a result they stay reasonable with those settings (takes about 10-15 minutes for the actual upload not counting youtube's processing times, assuming my ISP is not choosing to **** on my head and call it a hat while nerfing my upload speeds). 

 

turians always with their calibrations...

ShadowPlay on newer NVidia cards, MSI on anything else.

Well since you've got the older card --

MSI Afterburner is much less of a resource hog than FRAPs.

What I've discovered via this thread:

PC Master Race might be a bit of a stretch.

There´s no need for additional compression, shadowplay can do that on the fly. You just have to set the recording quality to manual and then you can set the desired bitrate. Never tried it though, but I expect that your gpu needs to be above recommended specs for that. I myself use shadowplay, but I run it at max settings because I don´t give a damn about uploadtimes.

 

Shadowplay isn't very efficient, though, it still spits out rather large files compared to what you can get with handbrake or similar programs.

Handbrake and other re-encoders do require extra CPU cycles to lower the filesize and quality by a bit. At 10mbps bitrate shadowplay produces a filesize around 1.3-1.5 GB for a 20-22min game . The time it will take to re-encode the vid using handbrake or other similar softwares will be usually more than the time it takes to upload a vid recorded by shadowplay. Unless the upload speed of the connection isn't fast enough (like me) I don't see a convincing enough reason to re-encode.

While we are at it, does anybody know of a way to select audio sources for shadowplay to record? I like to listen to music as I play and sometimes I am also in a voicechat, both of which shadowplay will record. I tried voicemeeter banana, but that causes my system to hardfreeze a lot, so its unusable. Any ideas?

Only 3 choices that I can see:

In game,

In game + microphone,

Off.

...What other reason would I be re-encoding? Upload speed is the problem. While I'm uploading a file, no one else in the house can use the internet for the entire duration, and any upload that stretches on for more than about 25 minutes can't maintain reasonable speeds (i.e. at about that point the connection is throttled down to about 256kbps, which  makes uploading a large file impossible). But if the PC sits around encoding a video for a half hour, no one is going to care because the CPU is powerful enough to continue using the computer to play games or do whatever while it's working on a video file with minimal loss in performance.
