Now:
This is about me being ticked with how they never fixed the SLI problem that started debuting shortly after this topic was originally discussed...
Original post:
I'm just kind of confused about this, because after actually trying it out more and more in the various games I play... I've found it to be absolutely amazing.
My FPS hardly goes down at all, and I end up with a very reasonably sized, already encoded file on my HDD... that's in pretty good quality to boot. 3.8GB for 10 mins of 1080p higher-framerate action? That's pretty darn good for not having to mess with an encoder. Plus, they're going to integrate it to work with Twitch, so the LoL crowd has something to jump up and down about. I mean I told some guy on PCP to pick a 770 over a 280X because he wants to stream LoL and I thought that for him the 770 would actually make sense because of Shadowplay eventually doing that (aside from them performing about the same). After testing it out myself, I think that was good advice (granted it's not working with Twitch yet but we'll see that hopefully happen).
I don't want any kind of fanboy this or that stuff flaming crap (though I know it'll attract some), I'm just kind of confused about why I see Shadowplay curiously absent during any kind of "should you get this or that" evaluation at this or that price range in these forums. I'm just like starting to use it more and more to capture these funny/amazing/etc moments in my gaming.
