Nvidia Share is honestly kind of notorious for recording at constant bitrates which are usually pretty inflated for their quality, although the quality is good. The flip side is that, unless it changed a lot in the last couple of years, it's way less customisable. It doesn't ever seem to have encoding issues, it's easy to understand.

I recommend choosing CRF for the rate control and value 15 in the CRF value for starters, as it fixed my problem with bad quality audio after various attempt.To the best of my knowledge, Geforce Experience / Nvidia Share is just shadowplay with a new name.Īs to comparing it to OBS, the big plus for Shadowplay is that it's simpler. If the audio quality of your game stream sounds like a bad quality 128kbps MP3 file, the output settings is the one you need to adjust. Other than just the gameplay, you can add in other extras such as webcam, third-party program to display other information i.e key strokes, custom scene and frames, texts, etc just like what the professional streamers did during their live stream session. Else, DxWnd or D3DWindower is a good windowed mode alternative for you to capture your game in windowed mode. Game capture usually works on most games, but it doesn’t capture anything from your game, you can opt for windows capture if the game allows you to toggle windowed mode.

Setting up OBS Studio for game streaming isn’t as hard as it looks. That of course, isn’t really an issue because you can get things sorted out easily with the help of the OBS community forum – all you have to do is ask. Setting up OBS Studio can be tricky for a first time users, mainly on the game capture and audio settings due to hardware behavior.
