NVIDIA’s ShadowPlay, now known as NVIDIA Share, offers easy gameplay recording, live streaming, and even an FPS counter overlay. It can automatically record gameplay in the background–just?on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One–or only record gameplay when you tell it to.
NVIDIA的ShadowPlay(現稱為NVIDIA Share)可提供便捷的游戲錄制,實時流媒體播放甚至FPS計數器覆蓋。 它可以在后臺自動錄制游戲(僅在PlayStation 4和Xbox One上),或者僅在您告知時才錄制游戲。
If you have a PC with modern NVIDIA graphics hardware, there’s a good chance you have access to this feature. It’s similar to Windows 10’s Game DVR, but has more features–and it works on Windows 7, too.
如果您的計算機裝有現代NVIDIA圖形硬件,則很有可能可以使用此功能。 它類似于Windows 10的Game DVR ,但具有更多功能,并且也適用于Windows 7。
是的,ShadowPlay影響游戲性能 (Yes, ShadowPlay Impacts Game Performance)
Before we start, however, we should note: Recording with ShadowPlay will decrease your game performance by a bit. NVIDIA notes that a performance penalty of 5% is?typical, while it could be 10% in more demanding games.
但是,在開始之前,我們應該注意:使用ShadowPlay錄制會稍微降低游戲性能。 NVIDIA指出,通常會降低5%的性能,而在要求更高的游戲中可能會降低10%。
If you have a fast enough PC, this shouldn’t necessarily matter. All gameplay recording solutions take system resources, including Windows 10’s Game DVR feature. But you may want to disable ShadowPlay when you’re not using it.
如果您有足夠快的PC,則不一定重要。 所有的游戲錄制解決方案都占用系統資源,包括Windows 10的Game DVR功能。 但是,當您不使用ShadowPlay時,可能要禁用它。

如何錄制OpenGL游戲(和整個Windows桌面) (How to Record OpenGL Games (and Your Entire Windows Desktop))
Not every game will work with NVIDIA ShadowPlay by default. ShadowPlay only directly supports?with games that use Direct3D, and not OpenGL. While most games do?use Direct3D, there are a few that?use OpenGL instead. For example, DOOM, which we used as an example above, uses OpenGL, as does Minecraft.
默認情況下,并非每個游戲都可與NVIDIA ShadowPlay一起使用。 ShadowPlay僅直接支持使用Direct3D的游戲,而不支持OpenGL。 盡管大多數游戲確實使用Direct3D,但也有少數游戲使用OpenGL。 例如,上面作為示例使用的DOOM和Minecraft一樣都使用OpenGL。
To record OpenGL games that don’t work with ShadowPlay, head to NVIDIA GeForce Experience > Preferences > ShadowPlay and activate the “Allow Desktop Capture” option. ShadowPlay will now be able to record your Windows desktop, including any OpenGL games running in a window on your desktop.
要錄制不能與ShadowPlay一起使用的OpenGL游戲,請轉到NVIDIA GeForce Experience>“偏好設置”>“ ShadowPlay”,然后激活“允許桌面捕獲”選項。 ShadowPlay現在將能夠記錄您的Windows桌面,包括在桌面的窗口中運行的所有OpenGL游戲。

The “Shadow time” option allows you to choose how much gameplay ShadowPlay saves in its buffer. You can choose any time between 1 and 20 minutes. Bear in mind that a longer time requires more hard disk space. How much more disk space depends on the quality level you choose.
“影子時間”選項允許您選擇ShadowPlay在其緩沖區中保存多少游戲性。 您可以選擇1到20分鐘之間的任何時間。 請記住,更長的時間需要更多的硬盤空間。 多少磁盤空間取決于您選擇的質量級別。
The “Quality” option allows you to configure the quality of your recording. By default, it’s set to High, and will record the video at in-game resolution, 60 frames per second, 50 Mbps quality, and as H.264 video. You can select?the Low or Medium profiles, or pick Custom and change the?individual settings manually.
“質量”選項使您可以配置記錄的質量。 默認情況下,它設置為“高”,并將以游戲內分辨率,每秒60幀,50 Mbps質量和H.264視頻錄制視頻。 您可以選擇“低”或“中”配置文件,或者選擇“自定義”并手動更改各個設置。

Below the switch on the left, the two buttons open your recording folder (your user account’s “Videos” folder by default) and the ShadowPlay preferences window. This window can also be accessed from Preferences > ShadowPlay within the GeForce Experience application.
在左側開關下方,這兩個按鈕打開您的錄制文件夾(默認為您的用戶帳戶的“視頻”文件夾)和ShadowPlay首選項窗口。 也可以從GeForce Experience應用程序中的“首選項”>“ ShadowPlay”訪問此窗口。
