I forgot to mention that Game DVR will only record at a max of 1080, regardless of resolution. I think I might give Bandicam another go and see what it's like nowadays. If you right click on a YouTube video and hit Stats For Nerds, you'll see the encoding. The difference in quality is night and day, quite frankly and usually takes effect after about ten minutes. On the other hand, it records other games like DOOM perfectly well, but it doesn't have an adjustable bitrate.Īs for YouTube, generally speaking, videos uploaded tend to look awful at first and not so good in 1080p either with their avc encoding, which is why I now set the in-game resolution to 2560 x 1440, so that YouTube encodes with the VP9 codec. For example, today I recorded Grid and it spat out a 30fps result, which looked awful. Mirillis Action has issues with UWP games and very often churns out some really crap videos at 12kbps and I now use it less and less. Game DVR also produces excellent quality with all setting at the highest level, with the bitrate at 42Kbps. (I have to switch to AVC if I know I'm going to edit with Vegas Platinum 13, since HEVC isn't compatible) I don't have much experience with Shadowplay since it's on my work PC and I don't game much on that one, but ReLive has an adjustable bitrate slider and I usually use around 50Kbps, encoding with HEVC.
It also helps that they're free, with the quality being as good, if not better, than paid software. There are advantage over Action!, in that you can record at a higher bitrate with ReLive, which makes a big difference in the quality, and the file size of course.
However, AMD, Nvidia and Microsoft have respectively improved ReLive, Shadowplay and Game DVR enormously over the years. That was until I found Mirillis Action! on sale at Steam a few years ago and I've been using it ever since.
I first started with Fraps, until the file sizes just became to large (avi) and then moved on to a trial of Bandicam which was really good, but rather expensive.
