Has anyone on these forums properly tested this out? I'm on a pretty crappy internet speed at the moment with no hope of being able to do anything about this at all for the near future so I was really wondering if its possible to use shadowplay on low quality to stream with on a 512k upload speed? I know Nvidia recommend 0.75mb for the lowest quality but didn't know if people had gotten away with using slightly lower upload speeds? I dont mind Disabling the sound either to help with the stream speed. Not about winning a viewing popularity contest on twitch, not with my connection! but I've tried both Xsplit and OBS for streaming software, and OBS was notably much better quality but if shadowplay is better than of course that would be the better option. I actually think shadowplay on high quality settings is absolutely fine, looks very good from what I've seen so far even though people complain about the quality a lot it seems.

Thanks for any advice.

I've tried OBS and Shadowplay and the quality of them is pretty even for me, but I don't have a slow internet connection.

My guess is you won't do much better than OBS, since you can tweak so many settings there to optimize it for your connection. Have you tried using http://obsproject.com/estimator for your setting recommendations?

Shadowplay could be cool once it's out of beta, but it has a list of quirks that make OBS better for what I would use it for, anyway.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, OBS being the better option or xsplit.... I just wasn't sure if anyone on here had actually used this feature at all yet even though its still beta, and what their experiences were really.....
