Else, DxWnd or D3DWindower is a good windowed mode alternative for you to capture your game in windowed mode. Game capture usually works on most games, but it doesn’t capture anything from your game, you can opt for windows capture if the game allows you to toggle windowed mode. Setting up OBS Studio for game streaming isn’t as hard as it looks.

That of course, isn’t really an issue because you can get things sorted out easily with the help of the OBS community forum – all you have to do is ask. But im still working out all the bugs there.Setting up OBS Studio can be tricky for a first time users, mainly on the game capture and audio settings due to hardware behavior. Reson for that being is I wanna do some kind of silly thing where I run my game and record via shadowplay but have obs recording the program facerig as my webcam while I commentate.

But I wouldnt be surprised if shadowplay got those features in the future. OBS is more customizable with lay overs, greenscreen webcaming etc. I use to use obs as well and just found shadowplay more to my liking. Now OBS is good to I find it over complicated for my liking. When you do record its default save option also splits recording up in your videos file by game so they are never mixed up. Ranging only a few gigs max quality rather than 100 is really nice as well. Even the size of the files are awesome at max quality. Another thing is you can direct it to record game audio only which I do and record my VO seperatly. But they dont realize if you put it into full manual mode you can make it record indefinitely. Some people dont like shadow play because it breaks up videos at around 20 mins or so. It has almost no impact on performance even when recording at 1080p. Its always being updated by nvidia and is very simle to use. I k ow you made your choice but I would like throw my 2 cents in here.
