At least on NVIDIA. ## Note about optimal performance on NVIDIA NVIDIA driver has a "feature" (read: bug) where it will downclock memory transfer rate when a program uses cuda (or nvenc, which uses cuda), such as GPU Screen Recorder. See https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/ for more information and how to overcome this. +## Note about optimal performance on AMD/Intel +Performance is the same when recording a single window or the monitor, however in some cases, such as when gpu usage is 100%, the video capture rate might be slower than the games fps when recording a single window instead of a monitor. Recording the monitor instead is recommended in such cases. ## Installation This program depends on [gpu-screen-recorder](https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/) which needs to be installed first.\ diff --git a/src/main.cpp b/src/main.cpp index 170cb81..f743a8e 100644 --- a/src/main.cpp +++ b/src/main.cpp @@ -1794,7 +1794,7 @@ static GtkWidget* create_common_settings_page(GtkStack *stack, GtkApplication *a record_area_selection_menu = GTK_COMBO_BOX_TEXT(gtk_combo_box_text_new()); gtk_combo_box_text_append(record_area_selection_menu, "window", "Window"); gtk_combo_box_text_append(record_area_selection_menu, "focused", "Follow focused window"); - const bool allow_screen_capture = nvfbc_installed; + const bool allow_screen_capture = nvfbc_installed || gpu_inf.vendor != GPU_VENDOR_NVIDIA; if(allow_screen_capture) { if(gpu_inf.vendor == GPU_VENDOR_NVIDIA) gtk_combo_box_text_append(record_area_selection_menu, "screen", "All monitors"); @@ -2341,7 +2341,7 @@ static void load_config(const gpu_info &gpu_inf) { } if(config.main_config.record_area_option.empty()) { - const bool allow_screen_capture = nvfbc_installed; + const bool allow_screen_capture = nvfbc_installed || gpu_inf.vendor != GPU_VENDOR_NVIDIA; if(allow_screen_capture) config.main_config.record_area_option = "screen"; else |
