RadeonPro BETA (Automating 3D Settings) #2

That sounds better than AMD APP and Nvidia ShadowPlay. Or does it use these? I hope it records SweetFX.

 

hahahaha, I was going to post it here but you beat me to the punch

Quite awesome, isn't it? Here's some performance figures at current optimization stage for recording at 60 FPS/1080p full frame/50 Mbps target bitrate. The performance drop at 30 FPS is a bit lower.

DX9 games: 1~5%
DX10+ games: 0~5%

Those are numbers from several automated benchmarks (Thief, Bioshock Infinite, Street Figther IV, Resident Evil 6, Tomb Raider, Hitman Absolution etc.), in practice - while gaming - the hit is almost unnoticeable thanks to AFbC (Advanced Framebuffer Capture), a new technique developed for RadeonPro infinity to extremely reduce the performance hit seen in previous RadeonPro builds and some game capture softwares as well.

I've uploaded a Street Fighter IV benchmark video on Youtube showcasing AFbC:

A comparison between a normal benchmark run and another run recorded by RadeonPro results in a performance loss of just 2%. F1 2013 internal benchmark shows no drop in performance at all, in fact the result while recording the benchmark was 1 FPS higher - inside the error margin.

AFbC actually looks a lot like NVIDIA's framebuffer grab + encode. Obviously they're completely different techniques but the result is quite good for RadeonPro as it is for NV cards/Shadowplay. And yes, SweetFX is recorded, you just need to configure RadeonPro to keep post-processing/OSD (if visible) in captured screenshots/videos.

 

I've uploaded a ~1 minute footage of Batman Arkham Origins, this is the video produced by RadeonPro infinity as is.

Size: ~390 Mb

Recording settings: 1080p full frame/60 FPS/50 Mbps/2 channel audio AAC 192 Kbps

 

Shaping up nicely (vid worked fine btw)

It looks like you have a work around for broken gpu usage on the 290 series?

 

Looking nice
And it seems we will be able to compress the audio on the go as well

Wondering if we will have the ability to get audio from 2 different sources? (i.e. sound channel + mic channel)

 

Oh, that sounds like I will theoretically not need Dxtory anymore.

 

Wow nice, any early access?

 

Am always ahead of RP development haaa :banana: More and more I see the more I can't wait for this JapAMD.

Superb work mate.

 

@japamd, how u do des.

Fantastic news. Guessing this reduced overhead is limited to 1080p based on AMD's encoder? Or will the same apply to 1440p and above?

Oh and what about >60FPS recording?

 

400MB for 1Min of video ?
what at that size you might as well use uncompressed raw video

 

Cool

As suggested by Alex, RP is now using D3DKMT performance counters. I found it to be as precise as the default ADL GPU usage (when it works)

Yes, audio is encoded as AAC up to 192 Kbps. Currently it's not possible to record more than an audio channel (into separated streams) due to container restrictions.

VCE accepts up to 1920x1080 so bigger resolutions will be resized down to 1080p or at size requested by the user.

>60 FPS recording won't be possible.

At 1920x1080, an uncompressed/raw NV12 video recorded at 60 FPS would result in about 180 MB/second or ~10.5 GB/min. A raw RGB32 would be about 2.6x times larger than raw NV12.

 

Woooo, very nice to see the progress Japamd.

 

Is this a hardware limitation or a driver thing?
I'm running a 1440p setup myself but I'd be more than happy to put up 1080p videos just to have a smooth recording process

Thanks for your work!

 

VCE Hardware limit.
Anyways, good to hear about this news.

 

@japamd

Thanks a lot for your work!!!

I've just discovered this app (Radeon Pro). This weekend I'll give a try.

Any advice or "recomended game" for testing?

Thanks again.

A great plus of RadeonPRO, is it direct and lightweight approach, without bunches of useless features. So, as far RadeonPRO Infinity does not come to include any "Raptr integration" crap and become an awful bloatware, I'm ok with it. And I wish best luck for you, John!

 

Eh, I was really hoping RadeonPro would eventually replace CCC for me - if it ever gets released (I don't use beta/whatever versions of stuff anymore). Well I guess that question was just answered

 

@japamd
The news about radeonpro development been put on hold and you joining raptr. First congratulations on taking your work to the next level while am also very sad to see rp 2.0 cancelled.
Will we see radeonprro features added to raptr that would be nice.

 

As far I understood, RadeonPRO Infinity was not "cancelled", just delayed until further notice. At least is what I hope for, lol

 

To be honest, that news is a little disappointing as a fan of RadeonPro. I guess as long as the current version works I shouldn't get too upset.

Best of luck though, maybe you can make the Raptr client better than what they are capable of doing right now. With each update Raptr has becomes more of a bloated piece of bull that they need all the help it can get.
