Alaa Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hello everybody, this is JoblessHD aka EKT-Jobless ingame ! And.. I have a very simple question and this is about recording Renegade X For the past few days, I've been trying to use both Fraps and Dxtory to record Renegade X. Fraps : lags ingame and decreases frames per second (FPS) to 10-20s Dxtory : Records with lag every once in a while and the end result is just horrible, it seems like the entire game just lags out during the video Problem : Can't record without the video lagging/Game lagging Solutions : ?? I have a pretty decent computer, I have recorded some videos in the past of games that are more intense than Renegade X and have had better FPS While recording So do any of the smexy members that have recorded a video of Renegade using these 2 programs have a solution? If so please reply here Thank you all and see you on EKT Servers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff kenz3001 Posted October 13, 2014 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted October 13, 2014 well i record all the time ... but i have a GTX760 that has shadowplay (records with a built in h.265 encoder) as i dont know what set up you have i cant say if you can use the same (Nvidia's or AMD's built in recording systems) ... but before i had this card i used fraps or action ... action is a bit better can record with encoding h.264 or raw and its pretty light on the FPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaa Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Um. I got an Alienware x51 with 8 GBs of RAM, Intel Core i7 3770 CPU with 3.40 GHz I also use NVIDIA Geforce 660 ( I suppose that's the name, but it's the 660, not the TI version though) I'll try using Action recording program, hopefully it'll work, but anyways, thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff kenz3001 Posted October 13, 2014 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted October 13, 2014 660 should have shadowplay capability's look in your nvidia experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaa Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 It finally worked - Thanks a lot kenz3001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truxa Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks for posting this JoblessHD! Quite a while ago I'd like to film what I do but didn't want to pay much for programs like Fraps that lack in quality. Thanks to Kenz3001's replies, I now found out that I was able to record stuff with the Geforce Experience shadowplay thingy. Thanks a bunch!

Totem Arts Staff kenz3001 Posted October 13, 2014 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted October 13, 2014 its all good ... love shadow play ... just wish youtube would use h.265 and not just h.264 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lone0001 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thought I'd just put my two cents in this as well for those with AMD gpus (like myself). I usually use Action but it has been crashing/freezing lately so I've been using OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) to record at the moment and I find it works pretty well. Action however is usually alright and supports recording with AMD VCE or Intel QuickSync (both help to decrease the overhead a fair bit). Another suggestion would be to try out MSI Afterburner which I believe also has support for QuickSync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaa Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Like what was stated above I tried the Action, but it doesn't work properly with me, so I tried out shadowplay and the frames are at a constant 60 on ultra settings while recording, I even recorded my first video about a minor bug here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dutvexg8 ... e=youtu.be But yeah that's it, thanks again for the reply all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truxa Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I like Shadowplay too, I've recorded some game sessions now on 1080p. The problem I'm having now is that Shadowplay creates an mp4 file format resulting in a max of 3.8gb filesize. Length of the video is between 11 and 13 minutes per file. Shadowplay automatically creates a new file so nothing is lost, but it's not a single video file which is anoying. I either need a program to combine those files into a new format or use a different recorder. My results are the same as JoblessHD though, VERY seemless and FPS is constant at 60-61 (except for the loading screens, those fluctuate between 20 and 30.)

Totem Arts Staff kenz3001 Posted October 14, 2014 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted October 14, 2014 the file size is not affected in windows 8, 8.1 and 10 (windows 10 is still in beta so i dont recommend using it as a day to day OS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truxa Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 using win7 64bit, bought it because I don't like win8. Win7 is imo better in other aspects. I also think win8 is created with touchscreen in mind rather than normal PC use with keyboard and mouse. 8.1 changed it I know, but still ... I've spend 90 euro for win7 and not likely upgrade it to any other in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truxa Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Whoah the video is going fast! This isnt actual gameplay speed but the playback speed has been amplified by 1.5x or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaa Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yeah It was sped up, was testing a few things, anyways thanks for the reply. I really think it was good enough haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
