# Installation
Run `./build.sh` or if you are running Arch Linux, then you can find gpu screen recorder on aur under the name gpu-screen-recorder-git (`yay -S gpu-screen-recorder-git`).\
+Dependencies needed when building using `build.sh`: `glew glfw3 cuda ffmpeg libx11 libxcomposite libpulse-simple`.\
Recording monitors requires a gpu with NvFBC support (note: this is not required when recording a single window!). Normally only tesla and quadro gpus support this, but by using [nvidia-patch](https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch) or [nvlax](https://github.com/illnyang/nvlax) you can do this on all gpus that support nvenc as well (gpus as old as the nvidia 600 series), provided you are not using outdated gpu drivers.

# FAQ
## How is this different from using OBS with nvenc?
OBS only uses the gpu for video encoding, but the window image that is encoded is sent from the GPU to the CPU and then back to the GPU. These operations are very slow and causes all of the fps drops when using OBS. OBS only uses the GPU efficiently on Windows 10 and Nvidia.\
