Well nVidia just updated their software GeForce Experience (enables for driver updates, certain games optimization and more importantly, hardware encoding of streams and recording videos with no CPU throttling unlike let's say, Fraps) to 3.0 and now my recording does not work anymore. I've looked a bit online and apparently it's a disaster, people are looking for ways to downgrade to 2.4 but then nVidia forces them to upgrade again... Bah... Gotta go to work, but I hope this thing gets fixed soon because I use it all the time and have removed Fraps from my PC since I switched from gtx560 to gtx950 earlier this year...

Newest version works fine for me <shrug>

I do have to have 'desktop share' on in the privacy section though, otherwise it only works with a few games.

i was told to not even install experience because it was a waste of resources and time (like catalyst for amd). didn't know you could record while gaming, but maybe there's a better app for it.

Shadowplay is the name of the recording feature in GeForce Experience. I don't have GE installed so I never tried it, but people I met in games who stream and regularly record their games told me Shadowplay is more or less the best thing to record with because it has the least performance impact than any other recording software they tried. They still prefer OBS for streaming though.

OBS can use H264 chip on nVidia cards the same way as shadowplay (hardware encoding) so you're not missing anything. Also has more options for professional streamers.
