Introduction

Welcome to this guide on how to Record gameplay with an AMD graphics card. In this article, we will walk you through the process of setting up the necessary drivers, enabling game play recording, customizing options, understanding bit rate and encoding, using the instant replay feature, showcasing captured footage, and discussing the performance impact of recording. We will also highlight the limitations of AMD game play recording.

Setting up AMD Crimson drivers

The first step to recording gameplay with an AMD graphics card is ensuring that you have the necessary crimson drivers installed. Head over to the AMD website and download the required version (16.12.1 or later). Once you have the drivers installed, proceed to the next step.

Enabling game play recording

To enable game play recording, access the AMD Radeon settings by simply clicking on your desktop and selecting the AMD Radeon setting option. Once you are in the settings, locate the "Relive" tab in the middle and click on it. This will give you the option to enable or disable game play recording. Make sure you turn it on.

Customizing recording options

AMD provides several options to customize your recording settings. One notable option is the ability to choose a recording profile. There are preset profiles such as low, medium, high, and custom. Selecting a profile will automatically set your recording resolution and bitrate. You can also manually adjust the recording bitrate, audio bitrate, and choose the encoding type.

Understanding bit rate and encoding

When customizing your recording options, it's important to understand bit rate and encoding. Bit rate refers to the data rate per bit and directly affects the quality and file size of the recording. Higher bit rates result in better quality but larger file sizes. Encoding types, such as H.264 and H.265, determine the efficiency and quality of the recording. Choose the appropriate options based on your editing software and desired output.

Using the instant replay feature

AMD's game play recording also includes an instant replay feature. With this feature enabled, you can save a length of gameplay footage. Simply set the duration you want to save, and when you trigger the instant replay option from the toolbar, it will automatically save the specified duration of gameplay footage.

Performance impact of recording

AMD has optimized their game play recording to have minimal impact on performance. They claim a three to four percent performance hit, which is negligible for most users. You should not Notice any significant performance degradation while recording gameplay with an AMD graphics card.

Showcasing captured footage

After recording gameplay using AMD's game play recording feature, you can review the captured footage. One potential drawback is that the recording also includes the overlay for AMD's Relive and MSI Afterburner, if used. Despite this, the footage itself looks smooth and of good quality, without any noticeable stuttering.

Limitations of AMD game play recording

When using AMD's game play recording, there are a few limitations to be aware of. The recording resolutions and frame rates are dependent on your specific AMD graphics card. Available options may include 1080p at 60fps, 1440p at 60fps, or 30fps at 2160p. Make sure to check the specifications of your card to determine the supported resolutions and frame rates.

Conclusion

Recording gameplay with an AMD graphics card is now easier than ever with the built-in game play recording features of AMD's drivers. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can ensure high-quality recordings with minimal performance impact. Customize your settings, experiment with different profiles, and enjoy capturing and sharing your gaming adventures with others.
