RadeonPro -AMD's version of Shadowplay?

[MeldarthX]

Looks like RadeonPro getting an update to do exactly what shadowplay does....

I might actually have to redl this and test it out.

Good times; graphics has gone back to good times

Movie recording function does not lock the framerate automatically so it’s possible to record at 30 FPS and still play at 60 FPS.

That is what software on the market does already, the whole purpose of shadowplay is that it uses the GPU so you don't get the performance hit at all.

yea you didn't bother to read -

so

"Movie recording with real time AVC/H.264 encoding by GPU using AMD’s VCE (up to 1080p) – I already got the encoding working on GPU and it’s fast, but need to change the container format to MKV as AVI doesn’t play well with AVC/H.264 and that should take some extra time. About VCE, the only downside is the encoding size which will be limited to 1920×1080 and that’s a bit sad… - See more at: http://www.radeonpro.info/2013/08/get-ready-for-new-radeonpro-infinity/#sthash.JRGBtUfO.dpuf"

This is using AMD's gpu with vce - nice try though

TechPowerUp seems to routinely show power utilization numbers for nVidia and AMD boards as being much higher for AMD in doing video decoding tasks. They don't use encoding tasks, but I'd imagine they're in the same area and using the same numbers. If so, I'd imagine the fact that nVidia always, always has very low power usage to use their decoding hardware might allow nVidia to do more with the oft-dormant encoding engine in their cards than AMD if it requires so much more (electrical) power (that produces heat) for AMD to use its encoding functionality.

I mean, if you think an R9 290X is hot now, imagine it trying to encode video with its its absurd power usage and heat production to use that hardware PLUS the absurd power usage and heat production the card already has built in.

I suspect you'd see a LOT of throttling UNLESS you water cool it. Then again, that might be the case anyway.

Way to pick and choose what I was talking about, I was talking about the whole "Limit" they put on it, shadowplay does not have that limitation. If you can play at 60 and it records at 30, that is TERRIBLE for gpu, you can do better with software. Nice try though.

Actual users are not reporting absurd power usage; and - small tweaks the card is running fine.

Is the cooler crap; yep - but to say it absurb power usage is disengenerous at most.......

is it hot; yet; crappy cooler; but turn the fan up and it stays cool; people have already shown third party coolers will keep it as cool as 780....

in quiet mode; its ave 15w over 780.......umber mode between 30w-50w over......OC will bring power higher yep; but so does 780 and titan.....

Considering its faster than 780 in quiet mode and equal and faster than the titan in umber mode depending on the resolution....

Do we even know if this will increase the power usage? Do we know if shadow play increased the power usage? These are good questions..

ummm what limit; it doesn't lock the frame rate.....so of you want to set recording at 30 frames; your game play isn't locked at 30....you can still play higher frames.

and you do get a performance hit with shadowplay; it is smaller than fraps; but others other pieces out there seem to have the same hit or smaller. Both are giving options......not sure what the problem is.

My only problem is I need 7 (exaggerating?) different 3rd party programs to do what one single proprietary program does.

I'll keep an eye on this though, not a big fan of RadeonPro. Using MSI AB and QuickSync for similar functionality.

I fell out with RadeonPro after it ate some drivers awhile ago and haven't touched it since; but this supposed to be a full rebuild of it; so I'll test it.

I just run trixx - but there are some very cool things that's been added to RadeonPro lately making me want to look at it again
