Intel and Raptr Partner for PC Gaming Optimization Software

Must not be so bad if Intel is using Raptr. Why was AMD criticized for this so much?
 
To be fair before AMD got involved with Raptr it was not only utter garbage, it was utter garbage that was a royal pain to get rid of also.

So it started from pretty low, AMD getting involved seemed to really make this program viable. Those complaining probably only tried the old version, or just repeating what they heard.

Now apparently even Intel thinks it's good I guess.

One thing that Raptr includes that can make it worthwhile to use is Plays.tv (yes - it's the "poor man's Twitch.tv"; even I admit that). Unlike XSplit Gamecaster, it requires far less CPU horsepower for basic streaming; further, it now includes basic pre-stream editing tools that are designed-in (the tools themselves are similar to Adobe Premiere's timeline editor - the default editing tool for Twitch streaming). I can't use nVEnc (not enough GPU horsepower), and XSplit GameCaster *still* requires editing tools to make use of the streams that GameCaster can spit out; Raptr/Plays.tv includes both - which are so easy that even rookies/n00bs such as moi can use them - even with Twitch.tv. (Yes - I can use the same tools not "just" with Plays.tv, but with Twitch.tv, or any other streaming or Web video host, such as YouTube. I posted my first stream on Plays.tv this week (a DCUO stream titled "Brother Eye Beatdown" that I created myself using the included tools) - like I admit; I'm a n00b at streaming; however, I HAVE seen worse - on Twitch, no less. If you just want to basic stream from your PC, Raptr now includes ALL the tools you need to get it done - and at a cost of nit.

I've tried the new PlaysTV recorder and editor and it's pretty good I have to say. Super simple to use.

For twitch and broadcasting I've been using OBS with VCE support. For Radeon cards it also uses Radeon's VCE and therefore uses practically no system resources, I find the recorded results are also of much higher quality than Raptr/PlaysTV. A bit more complicated to setup, but the results are better IMO.
