It was pretty good and did not use too many resources. I think NVIDIA shadowplay is OK too? I don't know.

I see you play on PC.

Open Broadcaster Software is good.

MSI Afterburner is decent as well but it's menus for video settings are less intuitive, in my opinion.

Nvidia Shadowplay is good if you have an Nvidia GPU.

Radeon ReLive is the AMD equivalent, and based on what I've seen it performs almost identically to Shadowplay.

^This OBS Studio is great you can even configure it you use the Shadowplay (share) codec to reduce strain on your CPU. Also wouldn't be surprised if they update it to take advantage of ReLive in the future.

Shadowplay and ReLive/VCE are good enough for most people. Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) is used for streaming or can be configured to save locally like other recording software. I haven't liked the end result of anything I've recorded using x264. I would rather record large files using MSI Afterburner's MJPG option or Lagarith (downloaded separately) and then compress that using x264 still at high quality settings via StaxRip. With Lagarith and my x264 configuration, I feel my YouTube videos are finally at a quality where the imperfections, mostly blockiness, cannot really be spotted during regular viewing.

Some technical mumbo jumbo problem I had... As I discovered, recording and processing videos the way I have will invariably result in videos that are not perfectly recorded at 60fps/30fps/whatever you have set, which left me with out-of-sync audio/video. Even if you think otherwise, there's a great chance imperceptible frame drops, loading screens with low maximum fps, and whatever else will cause a recording to go below its specified FPS, and not everything handles that well. My TL;DR solution is to have your source filter for a program like StaxRip (I've been using DSS2) enforce your desired FPS by filling in missing frames with duplicates.

That means, for DSS2, I have to change:

DSS2("%source_file%")
to
DSS2("%source_file%", fps=60.000).AssumeFPS(60,1)

Well AMD ReLive is AMDs answer to Shadowplay (Share) pretty sure it works in the same manner which is why its only supported by RX400 Series GPUs (and newer when they come out). From testing that I've seen they are compareable. So your good either way I'd say.

Not sure what I'll do when it comes to upgrading graphics card.

If it helps, you can always downgrade GeForce Experience (and Shadowplay) if you don't want to have to use the newer version.

Some random older versions:

us.download.nvidia.com/GFE/GFEClient/2.1.1.0/GeForce_Experience_v2.1.1.0.exe
us.download.nvidia.com/GFE/GFEClient/2.4.5.57/GeForce_Experience_v2.4.5.57.exe
us.download.nvidia.com/GFE/GFEClient/2.11.4.0/GeForce_Experience_v2.11.4.0.exe

If you know of a specific version number you want, try manually editing the download link like so:

us.download.nvidia.com/GFE/GFEClient/[version#]/GeForce_Experience_v[version#].exe

How to keep those older versions from auto-updating:

forums.geforce.com/default/topic/857331/stop-geforce-experience-from-updating/

With the old version you can also launch directly into Shadowplay, whether or not your GPU supprots it. Make a shortcut to C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA GeForce Experience\GFExperience.exe and edit the shortcut so that its command line inlcudes the -shadowplay switch. (They removed this ability in the newer versions.)

Edit: Personally I like MSI Afterburner. It's light on resources and has a nice OSD for CPU/GPU/FPS/temp/etc.

Cheers mate.
I'm already doing that with 2.11.4

Also, if the prompt to upgrade does appear there's a folder to delete but since I'm in work I can't remember exactly where it is

I shall check later

Edit:

And since it's now later, this is where the folder is

C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\GeForce Experience

If GFE is trying to update there will be a folder called (surprisingly) \Update
