thoughts on amd raptr?

[futurefields]

is it worthwhile to have this software installed?

 

[monstercameron]

for GVR yes, otherwise meh.

I installed it, not sure what I think about it yet. I think it has some good potential with the game optimizations but I haven't tested that yet. Otherwise it looks like another game launcher/Steam clone.

Doesn't seem to get in my way or anything but haven't benefited from it yet either. It is still installed, will decide if I want to keep it.

BTW, what is GVR?

shadow play equivalent screen capture tool.

 

[Actaeon]

Oh okay, cool, thanks. Haven't done anything cool enough in my games to capture or share, so that explains why I'm unfamiliar.

GVR stands for Game Video Recorder?

OK found it

Was too intrusive for me. I uninstalled it.

 

[burninatortech4]

Way too intrusive. I uninstalled it the first time and have avoided it since.

The game recording feature is pretty nice.

Recorded that as a test. The raw file looked decent but after handbrake and then youtube compression it's only decent at best

 

[Flapdrol1337]

I'd just record with msi afterburner, it supports hardware encoding on AMD, nvidia and intel gpu's. If you have an nvidia card I guess shadowplay is still better, as it does some lowlevel capture that bypasses directx (which is why it only works in fullscreen).

I installed it and dont really have any problems with it. Sometimes i optimise games and it still tells me i need to optimise games etc. Some games i have installed it wont detect or let me add manually and sometimes it keeps telling me to update my drivers which are upto date but apart from that no real complaints

Plus i got 2 free games from winning the silver sweepstakes last week so defo worthwhile.

Its terrible. A bad Geforce Experience clone. Wish AMD would take it seriously and do it completely in house.
