You can record in-game video in a few different ways. We will talk about some of them in this article.
Capturing video using the GeForce Experience application is available for desktop PCs with GeForce 600 series or higher, or on laptops with the GTX 660M, 670MX, 675MX, 680M, 700M graphics card series or higher.
Your computer must have at least 4 GB of RAM.
Windows 10 users need to install the nVidia Graphics Driver 387.92 or later.
- Check your current graphics card driver and, if necessary, install the latest version according to these instructions.
- During the installation of the nVidia Graphics Driver, a dialog box will appear prompting you to additionally install GeForce Experience. Agree with the installation.
- After updating the driver, restart your PC.
To use GeForce ShadowPlay:
- Press Alt+Z. The quick access panel will open.
- Manually select a folder to save your videos to. Otherwise, they will be saved on the system drive and may take up a lot of space. To do this, click the gear icon in the quick access panel, then click the Records item in the menu that opens.
- Select and specify the folders that you want to use as storage for temporary files and recorded videos.
- To start recording a video, press Alt+F9 during the game. To stop recording, press Alt+F9 again. After that, the video file will be automatically saved in the folder that you specified in the GeForce Experience settings.
Capturing video using Radeon ReLive technology is available starting with the Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 16.12.1 driver.
- Check your current graphics card driver and, if necessary, install the latest version according to these instructions.
- During the Radeon Software installation, a dialog box prompting you to install Radeon ReLive will appear. Agree with the installation.
- After updating the driver, restart your PC.
To use Radeon ReLive:
- Right-click anywhere on the desktop. Select AMD Radeon Settings in the menu that appears.
- In the window that opens, go to the ReLive tab.
- Activate Radeon ReLive technology.
- After activating Radeon ReLive, you will have access to additional settings related to the technology, such as Record Desktop (the ability to capture your Windows desktop) and Save Folder.
- Select Save Folder. We recommend selecting a folder for saving videos manually. Otherwise, they will be saved on the system drive and may take up a lot of space.
- To start recording a video, press Ctrl+Shift+R during your game. To stop recording, press Ctrl+Shift+R again. After that, the video file will be automatically saved in the folder that you specified in the Radeon ReLive settings.
Windows 10 users can use the built-in Xbox DVR application for recording. To start or stop video recording, press Win+Alt+R.
You can also use third-party programs like these:
- OBS Studio (free)
- Fraps (free)
- Bandicam (free trial period)
But you can also use any other program that works for you.
