NVIDIA Releases GeForce Experience 3.6; Support for Vulkan, OpenGL

Raevenlord · May 10, 2017

NVIDIA has released an update to its GeForce Experience application that is sure to be loved by streamers and gamers alike who previously found ShadowPlay support on Vulkan and OpenGL games to be lacking. Version 3.6 of the program adds official support to games that make use of these renderers. Screenshot, video, and broadcast functions that Shadowplay enables are enhanced by the addition of support for these APIs, which means you can now use ShadowPlay with a press of a hotkey to record and stream your Doom and Minecraft gameplay at 4K 60fps.

Other improvements include a unified Broadcast screen and a newly revamped Video and Screenshot upload interface: YouTube and Twitch streamers can now control broadcast options from a unified screen, and log in to all services from there as well. NVIDIA has also worked some improvements to its GeForce Experience Gallery, by adding an upload history screen that displays all prior uploads and locations. You now also have the option of instantly jumping to the file location of a screenshot or video in Windows Explorer through a new button.

What about DirectX 12 ? Most seem to lack support for it as well...

"An Essential Application For Every Gaming PC", haha funny. No. I hope AMD ends the dominance/arrogance of Nvidia for good.

I just felt like it was rather unnecessary for me. I dont need an application to choose my in-game settings for me. I have afterburner for fps counter and recording gameplay. I use OBS for streaming to twitch.

It has been able to record DX12 since release 2.5.11 which was released on July 15, 2015

Overinflated piece of shit I'd rather lose than keep.

kinjx11 · May 10, 2017

claylomax · May 10, 2017

I installed it because I had to, in order to get Ghost Recon WL; I haven't used it again.

Shadowplay is done though a dedicated chip on nvidia gpus so HEVC not quite something that could be updated though software. It's why it only runs on presets and it doesn't hurt game performance. Although I believe since 900s HEVC encoder is in the chip but it's not used in Shadowplay because you can't stream HEVC to most places.

Don't know why there's so much hate towards Shadowplay. Its a great piece of software that works very well for what it needs to do.

I use it to stream my pc games to my large projector screen using the shield tv with nvidia gamestream. It runs flawless for me.

I don't think it's hate for ShadowPlay which as you say works fab.

It's more the whole Green Goblin... how dare they be successful kinda shit.

diatribe · May 10, 2017

I don't like GeForce Experience and only have it installed so that I can use Shadowplay which is wonderful. It's a very mixed feeling.

NRANM · May 11, 2017

I really wish NVIDIA would separate Shadowplay from GeForce Experience, and release it as a standalone program.

However, I realize this is most likely not in the cards, as Shadowplay is probably the sole reason a good portion of users even install GeForce Experience. I mean the at least somewhat advanced users, not the average ones that click Next mindlessly.
