That issue might be the current beta driver. I personally haven't been able to use NVENC in obs, I just get an error message. NVENC in obs doesn't stream as well as shadowplay does, from what I have seen on forum posts. Same encoder same performance etc, nvidia's program is quite terrible considering we have stuff like this out thereĮdit: nvm, I don't think we are talking about the same thing actually. Note that OBS can do everything that Shadowplay can + more (i didn't see anything yet that works with shadowplay program well, but not OBS) if you just select NVENC in the options. I would definitely give it a shot, it's much more enjoyable to be able to stream on the highest graphics settings with absolutely no lag at all. Other positive obviously being the increase in FPS!! Positives: With the newest update they allowed 'Desktop Capture' so that you can play your game in 'Windowed Mode' if you so choose. At this time, you can only have a webcam, and a status indicator (I guess to say you're online?) Some negatives: No overlay compatibility. With Shadowplay, it uses the GPU units themselves to encode, my in-game FPS soars over 100, while I stream to twitch at 720p, 60 FPS, at 3 mb upload. Anyway, with OBS, running a stream on 720 with SC2 graphics on Ultra/Extreme gets about 60 FPS if I'm lucky. One difference from the part list ^ is that I use Windows 7 Ultimate now. My Hardware: 3770K/ GTX 770 x2 Additional hardware through the link. Here is a link to the requirement page: Shadow Play Requirments

Shadowplay uses your graphics card as the encoder, rather than your computer processor. I have tested it several times, I don't have all of the data to back it up at the moment but will update when I get home from work.

#6 I have a 50/10 connection and the Shadowplay feature is 100% better than OBS.
