Which GFX Card / Which Game Capture Utility?

Andrew Mirley · Oct 23, 2014

AMD R9 280 Graphics Card (3GB, DDR5) "AMD Raptr's Gaming Evolved"
Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5 "Nvidia's Shadow Play"

Hello everyone! I have 2 questions really on these cards if you don't mind answering.

1) Which one is best?
2) Which one preforms better using there respective Game Capture utilities?

Whats important is that i get a good fps rate while recording, so which card to which utility is what i'm asking.

THANKS!

Nvidia's Shadow Play really is the far superior solution.

But Raptr can potentially give you free hardware and games.

So the answer to both your questions is technically Nvidia's Shadow Play, but Raptr is nice too.

Hi,
With the benchmarks I've seen, I'd go for the 280. It is faster.

Take a look:

I don't have any experience with recording... Sorry!

Using an AMD biased game is not very fair.

Crysis 3 is not biased to either side, AMD or Nvidia, and they achieve the same FPS in the same review you posted.

Try not to cherry pick results, ONE game benchmark is not proof of anything.

It wasn't cherry picked...

Are all those links "Cherry picked" and "AMD biased"?

Medal of Honor Warfighter - Not biased or cherry picked. So yes the R9 280 is better IN THIS GAME.

BioShock Infinite - 2 FPS difference, but we are comparing a factory OC version fo the R9 280 vs a stock GTX760. So within margin of error.

Metro - Last Light - Clock rate sensitive game, so again OC is interfering with the results. 5FPS, within margin of error.

Battlefield 4 - Definitely AMD biased game.

My point is, there will be games that perform better on the Nvidia, Batman games, Assasins creed, etc.
They trade blows so often that you can effectively say that they perform almost exactly the same.

EDIT : Something to note, the R9 280 does however overclock a lot better. I own 2 HD 7950s (which is basically the same as an R9 280 minus a bit of performance tweaks here and there)

My point is I didn't cherry pick anything. I simply didn't want to post 10 links to a review that anyone can change the page.

The 280 in my opinion is better. It is faster. Yes in some games 2fps... in others more fps.

I specifically said I don't know anything about recording, so I offered the faster card.

Thanks,
