RELIVE AMD UPDATE

This was checked with an RX 480 Gaming X connected, while ShadowPlay was using a GTX 1060 Gaming X. Maximum supported bit-rate is where we’re starting. We’ve highlighted a few of the key differences between the quality settings and options in the above table.

In many ways, ReLive and ShadowPlay are similar. ShadowPlay allows both Twitch and YouTube, but does not yet offer a custom server option. The ReLive solution plugs into Twitch, YouTube, and custom servers directly. The hotkey pops up the overlay, through which you can easily modify capture settings, toggle capture without a hotkey, or begin retroactive gameplay capture and broadcast. ReLive also establishes the same default hotkey as ShadowPlay – Alt-Z – but changes are possible through the interface. Let’s start with a walkthrough of the interface.ĪMD is using an overlay setup similar to ShadowPlay for capture of screenshots and video, including capture of the desktop and non-game applications.

Check back tomorrow for our analysis and discussion of OCAT, the overlay and benchmarking tool that couples with PresentMon, and for discussion on other tools within the AMD suite – like an update to the Chill platform. Note also: AMD’s announcements for today contain a whole lot more than just the ReLive update, but that’s all we’re focusing on here. It is not a change from the recording software. Some is due to Radeon Settings’ out-of-box configuration, which includes AMD optimized tessellation and other changes to game graphics. Note: In the GTA testing, you’ll notice some missing meshes on the jeep. Much of this will also be contained below, though the quality comparison will require you view the video.īefore the video, here’s a table that GamersNexus compiled to for a ShadowPlay & ReLive comparison: AMD ReLive & nVidia ShadowPlay Features In GN’s embedded video, we’ve got side-by-side capture comparisons between the two utilities, the impact on framerate when each is active, and a quick analysis of the compression’s efficacy. It’s taken AMD a while to get back to this point, but ReLive is a fresh recording suite. We previously did this comparison with ShadowPlay versus FRAPS and AMD’s GVR, a solution that ultimately was subsumed by Gaming Evolved.

This is a direct competitor to the ShadowPlay software from nVidia’s GeForce Experience suite, and performs many of the same functions with the same end objective. The tool includes manually toggled capture, broadcast/streaming capture, and retroactive capture. Today, with the AMD ReLive update to the Crimson-brand drivers, AMD’s implemented its own solution to software capture for gameplay. This move to greener – or ‘redder,’ perhaps – pastures immediately left AMD with a hole in its tools suite, namely a competitor to nVidia’s somewhat prolific ShadowPlay software capture tool. The best that software vendors can do is try to reduce loss as much as possible, but ideally without sacrificing too much video quality or too much compression capability.Ī few months back, AMD finally axed its partnership with Raptr for the cumbersome Gaming Evolved suite. There’s inherent FPS loss when using capture software, GPU-accelerated or otherwise.
