Privacy Control not showing for Laptop

[dim rivet]

self explanatory

That feature is actually tied to desktop recording

Which requires the display to actually be directly driven by the dGPU

If you don't see this option, it's very likely your computer routes to the iGPU first

so it's very "not self explanatory"

Not all laptops will allow you to perform that by the way

If you need to record the desktop on such a laptop, use another software.

Hmm so shadowplay won't work on my laptop?

Are there any recommendations what software can I use? I was looking for a software which doesn't really affect the FPS and thought Shadowplay would be good since it's like kinda linked with nvidia maybe? So yeah, I was wondering what other option I could use. I've tried OBS but don't really know how to setup Replay Buffer. And regarding Medal? I think it's stealing some of my FPS somehow.

If ShadowPlay doesn't function correctly even after trying to fix it, please try using OBS instead and see if you can record correctly with it.

You can download OBS Studio here, and read the following guides to configure it:

• NVIDIA NVENC OBS Guide
• Replay Buffer (Instant Replay) guide

@turbid ivy

I was checking out "how to determine your bitrate" and in speedtest I'm getting 40 mbps

what am i supposed to do

[turbid ivy]

this means you should be able to use the maximum possible rate for streaming services if you upload them live (i.e. livestreaming gameplay)

for local recording or "uploading post editing" this won't matter

btw

do you know how dragons make fire from their mouths?

i wonder

[turbid ivy]

that's kind of off topic but this will depend on how the worldbuilding works

maybe it's now #general-chit-chat material

[dim rivet]

okay ig I know what to do. I'll just setup obs using the guide and set it for recording and clipping

not really interested in streaming for now
