MSI Afterburner 4.0.0 Official(2014-9-4)

Ho Ho Ho

 

You tease

 

They'll like it to bits Alex.

 

If you squint your eyes just right.....

Looking forward to it

 

Well if you put it out for new year's I will still see it like that :cheers:

 

Sorry Unwinder i have to revise what i said i did throughout testing now and still your capture code and your nvenc code are superior compared to others also your multithreading behavior and so the generated overhead inclusively the therefore in the end result Performance/Quality just superior against the ones like Mirillis (Polish) or Bandisoft (Asians) pretty astonishing piece of Windows Code

But this only takes on if you really disable all Polling related Hardware overhead and disable the Hardware monitoring (Pause) it as well in the Afterburner (Rivatuner) Core

Anyways you still WIN

Also OBS has no Chance against your overall Code Performance (their Capture Performance is still weaker compared to all others, to much Multithreading problems)

Most probably it will be the best but only due to its mostly 0 overhead in the capturing stack because of their magic NVFBC.

This is a pretty big advantage





But the Magic is how well do the others (3rd Parties) without Nvidias Magic Modes on Windows NT


Though i would say Bandisoft also made good decisions about the Performance/Quality they can beat Mirillis in their Decisions of how to setup the Encoder

Mirillis has the lowest quality output of all they try to get as much as performance as possible (Temporal Result) it seems


Unwinder is it possible to reduce Afterburners overhead even more then just disabling the Hardware Pooling ?

Also i think the overhead of writing MP4 should be lower then MKV shouldn't it ?

 

At least 2 fast polling is still problematic in terms of generated overhead and therefore more issues (frame drops,stutter, streaming issues, uneven frametime distribution) and i like to keep polling (driver interrupt) related windows kernel issues always out of the equation

Especially nowadays everything inside a 3D Engine becomes more problematic in terms of Multithreading and Timing issues (more time critical then ever), especially with a 60 FPS 16.67 ms target under Windoze.
