Shadowplay works through the GeForce Experience middleware, which you’ll have to download, install and register an account for. You can access that from your desktop by right clicking on empty space and then going to the Radeon Control Panel, and navigating to the section indicated above.įor NVIDIA users, it’s a fraction more complicated. Both GPU manufacturers have tools that utilise the GPU for recording and capturing gameplay (or anything else), and they’re fairly straightforward to use.įor AMD users, you can set the hotkey for screenshots through the Radeon Live settings. I imagine that if OBS is launching its window on an external display that is connected to/driven by the Nvidia card, that is overriding your selection in the Nvidia control panel, and that note at the bottom of the screen is telling you it is going to do that.If you’ve got an AMD or NVIDIA graphics card, good news. The above shows two displays connected to the Nvidia GPU and no displays driven by the integrated perhaps a laptop in clamshell mode, driving two external displays? This means that capturing a high performance game that runs on the discrete GPU means running a game capture and not a display capture. In this mode, any application may launch on either GPU and appear on the monitor, but since the integrated GPU is 'in charge' of the built-in display, OBS can only perform a display capture when OBS runs on the integrated GPU. The reason why I asked if this is a laptop is that the usual situation with laptops that have discrete GPUs is that they have a single onboard display and two GPUs: one integrated, one discrete. 'Programs that launch on external displays that are driven by the NVIDIA GPU will always use the NVIDIA GPU'
