Shadowplay

 

Shadowplay is by far one of the best recording software out there next to it's counterparts such as Plays.tv, OBS, Fraps, Bandicam, XSplit, and Dxtory. It doubles as a streaming software, though I recommend you look into OBS if that's what you're looking for. It's absolutely awesome for creating Player Complaints and I've seen people make lots of posts about problems with it previously- SO HERE WE ARE!

 

Just a side note: It provides great convenience through its instant replay, good quality, and isn't too system intensive such as its counter parts like Fraps & Dxtory. If you have either, I highly recommend you try this or OBS- this especially for Player Complaints and the like.

 

Before you get started check out the requirements below, I'll summarize them below per their website

 

Have.

 

- Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10

- 2GB system memory

- A decent CPU (Intel Pentium G Series, Core 2 Duo, Quad Core i3, i5, i7)

- GTX series 600M series or higher (you cannot have an AMD, if you do see Radeon Relive).

 


 

Setting up Shadowplay



 

1. Download NVIDIA GeForce Experience.

 

2. Install it, then look into your task bar, right click on the logo and click the Open GeForce Experience Button.



3. Find & Click the Shadowplay Button in the Upper right cache.php?img=https%3A%2F%2Fi.gyazo.com%2Fd1c6b421a7f2976bb779991d3c8ceb63.png, this should open the Transparent Shadowplay Menu. (Default Hotkey is: Alt+Z)



4. Click Instant Replay or Record, then Customize to Tweak your settings. The menu inside should look like this.

 

(Default Hot Key: Instant Replay: Alt+F10)

(Default Hot Key: Recording: Alt+F9)

5. You want to probably test your settings now, but I recommend you tweak your microphone volume and set it to Push-To-Talk so your recordings come out sounds clean & keyboard smashing free.

 

6. Last step before recording, make sure you save your videos to preferably an external drive or get in the habit of deleting them once they fill up your Main Drive (which is hopefully an SSD). To save space, and still be able to catch Rule Breakers I recommend anywhere between 5-10 minutes of replay length.

 

7. Go in-game and test your settings! Happy Recording Bros!
