Nvidia Adding ShadowPlay Into Future GeForce Experience Update

On Oct 28, gamers who have a GTX 650 or higher graphics card will be able to use Nvidia's new, exclusive ShadowPlay feature.

According to Nvidia, "The eponymous Shadow Mode follows your gameplay, saving the last ten to twenty minutes of action to a temporary buffer on your hard drive." Players can use a hotkey to save the buffered footage, preventing large files from "piling up" on your hard drive. A manual mode will also be available to record as much content as the player's hard drive can handle.

"ShadowPlay leverages the H.264 hardware encoder found on GeForce GTX 600 and 700 Series graphics cards to record 1920x1080, 60 frames per second. All DirectX 9 and newer games are supported." Nvidia claims its tool won't hammer a user's CPU, promising its hardware solution only has an "approximate 5-10% performance impact when using the max-quality 50 mbps recording mode." There's also plans to include native Twitch support in a future update, so players can stream directly to Twitch.

Nvidia is really taking some gamer-centric steps to include really cool features directly into it's drivers that usually require expensive 3rd party hardware and software.
