So I can alt-tab out of the game and my stream will still show the game I am running.After more than a year of waiting following the console release, Rockstar’s sprawling cowboy adventure Red Dead Redemptions has finally arrived on PC. OBS, unlike ShadowPlay, does constant streaming. I do not stream a lot (just wanted to try it) so I can’t say much about it. Now I also tested out OBS and it’s essentially a streaming/recording software, does everything ShadowPlay does but it does offer more streaming services and options to improve your streaming quality. – Unfortunately I didn’t test this enough to see any cons… + You can choose what window/program to stream It’s very easy to set up and easy to use as well.

Onto OBS, it’s a free open source streaming software you can use. Maybe Nvidia will fix this in the actual release but as of the latest version it stops the stream if you close or alt-tab out of the game. If you alt-tab or close the game, the stream stops.

It will record your games at 1080p at 30 FPS. What’s different about it is that you don’t need to install any extra software (if you use GeForce Experience already). Basically this is like any other tool, it can record your game and webcam and sound, etc. I’ll assume you’re used to streaming tools and such. – You can’t constantly stream (more about this later) + Basically like any other streaming service (you can connect to twitch via the ShadowPlay button) It’s a very good streaming tool built into GeForce Experience and is still in beta so expect some bugs and problems. I’ll just say a few things about each, first with ShadowPlay. I did some testing recently using Nvidia’s ShadowPlay and a streaming software called OBS. Short post, just wanted to write down what I used.
