Audio quality is equally decent, so no complaints there. Pixel peeping we can see some compression going on, but nothing that really interferes with the point we’re trying to get across: awesome gameplay moments. Default 1080p, 60 FPS and with a 50 Mbps encode quality we find little to complain about, especially considering this content is likely to be shared over social media which limits the quality of the most part anyway.

It even records your active discord voice chat, which seems like a convenient thing to have when recording multiplayer audio. You’re gaming, you press alt+f1 to take a screenshot, press alt+f9 to start/stop recording a gameplay video, and that’s it. Obviously, it requires an Nvidia GeForce graphics card to do this (AMD users can check out ReLive software), and that’s what we’re using in our streaming rigs. If not, you unticked the ‘GeForce Experience’ checkbox during the installation and you will want to reinstall it fully to get started.

We’ve also set up our first live stream with it as well.Ĭhances are that if you installed your GPU drivers you already have the software installed. That sounded pretty good to us, so in this part we’re going to find out what recording options there are within Shadowplay and If there is a secret performance loss anyway. However, part of the software package that comes with your Nvidia GeForce graphics card is Nvidia Shadowplay, a tool for which Nvidia says it can “Record and Capture your greatest gaming moments” and “Without worrying about video capture impacting your performance”.

This software is used by the majority of streamers to pimp their stream to the extreme.

If you’ve given the concept of streaming any thought, chances are that the term OBS will mean something to you. This content is also available in Dutch, click here to switch Let’s Stream! Part 5: Nvidia Shadowplay (Guide & Performance) (English)
