All the VCE/VCN/AMF plugins I've tried for the better free video capture/streaming apps have been of pretty poor quality and/or are rarely updated. This is less an issue for NVIDIA cards as there is good 3rd party support.I don't use ShadowPlay on any of my NVIDIA parts because something like OBS using NVENC is so much better.ĪMD doesn't really have these alternatives. It may also have an even lower performance impact (not that it's significant either way) I cannot tell from performance, even watching framerate/time graphs while playing, that ReLive is capturing, but I can tell that even good NVENC implementations are being used on NVIDIA parts, especially without modifying the the hidden "CUDA P2 state" option as anything that uses CUDA (including NVENC) on most consumer NVIDIA parts causes the VRAM to be downclocked.Īnyway, the main problem with both ReLive and Shadowplay themselves is relative the lack of configuration options. At the same time dont worry too much, 5 minutes or even a bit more should be no problem for most people and under most settings.Īnd you can of course test if its a problem at all.ReLive has always been pretty solid and generally better integrated/less annoying than ShadowPlay. The estimator can only roughly show you the estimated RAM usage of your current settings, and if you run out of ram, OBS has to write the buffer to disk which is of course only suboptimal.
Also please do not select ridiculous long buffer values. So if something happens that took longer than your selected "Replay Buffer length", you can still cut it out later. I would probably recommend to do a normal recording at the same time. This would for example allow you to save the last 3 headshots you made, or that awesome block you landed, or that great heal that saved your mate, to disk, without having to edit an hour long video later.Ī word of advice though. X is of course the amount of seconds you selected earlier. When something worth saving has happened, you press the hotkey and OBS will save the last X seconds to disk. As you can see, you can of course also still record a normal video file at the same time:Īs soon as you start the buffer, OBS will start the recording but it wont save anything to your disk, until you press the "Save Replay Buffer" hotkey. Now in the OBS interface you can use the small black arrow, right of "Start Recording", to get a little dropdown menu that lets you start the "Replay Buffer" or you can also setup a hotkey to start and stop it. Then configure the "Save Replay Buffer" hotkey so you can tell OBS to save the buffer to your disk, that is in the Hotkey settings of OBS: For example the last 30, 60 or 120 seconds:
You first have to configure the amount of seconds that should be kept in the buffer, that is in the Broadcast Settings of OBS. This option allows you to save the last X seconds of Video and Audio to your disk on the press of a button.
