This will allow variable refresh rate to work when recording fullscreen applications. Note that some applications such as mpv will not work in fullscreen mode. A fix is being developed for this. ### TEMPORARY ISSUES 1) screen-direct capture has been temporary disabled as it causes issues with stuttering. This might be a nvfbc bug. -2) Recording monitor on AMD/Intel has been temporary disables as issues surrounding it are fixed. For now, record a window instead. +2) recording the monitor on steam deck might fail sometimes. This happens even when using ffmpeg directly. This might be a steam deck driver bug. Recording a single window doesn't have this issue. ### AMD/Intel root permission When recording a window under AMD/Intel no special user permission is required, however when recording a monitor the program needs root permission (to access KMS). To make this safer, the part that needs root access has been moved to its own executable (to make it as small as possible) and a GUI sudo prompt is shown to run this executable as root. The executable is called "gsr-kms-server". @@ -27,6 +27,8 @@ NVIDIA driver has a "feature" (read: bug) where it will downclock memory transfe To enable overclocking for optimal performance use the `-oc` option when running GPU Screen Recorder. You also need to have "Coolbits" NVIDIA X setting set to "12" to enable overclocking. You can automatically add this option if you run `sudo install_coolbits.sh` and then reboot your computer. This script is automatically run if you are using NVIDIA and run `install.sh`.\ Note that this only works when Xorg server is running as root, and using this option will only give you a performance boost if the game you are recording is bottlenecked by your GPU.\ Note! use at your own risk! +## 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 If you are running an Arch Linux based distro, then you can find gpu screen recorder on aur under the name gpu-screen-recorder-git (`yay -S gpu-screen-recorder-git`).\ |
