You don't have to own it. The only downside to not owning it is that one of your asswad teammates will miss a point-blank shot and nearly get you killed.

But sometimes life's more fun that way.

then i guess i'll enjoy being on an episode for two minutes then getting killed off.

either way it still sounds like it'd be fun to watch

free download, but only compatible with desktop GPUs GTX 650 and higher (NOT mobile cards atm)

also this seems like a decent video explanation from a couple months back - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaJdjSA_fas

this is a video I recorded of Blacklight retribution as a test of shadowplay, 1080p, 60 FPS, near perfect quality, and still smaller files than fraps when I was using 720p 30 FPS

@JID I wasn't actually playing with them, I just named characters after people here, so you don't need to have the game. sure I can fit you in (if the RNG gods actually give me any more male characters XD)

@LAR yup, GPU does pretty much ALL the work. there is not really any noticeable artifacting, any in the video I posted of blacklight are probably due to the fact I am still using movie maker (!) for compression.

oh and in the video colseed posted, he mentions that you cannot record microphone input. that is outdated, you can now record mic input and also (so it seems, I don't have a webcam) record a facecam to be automatically placed on the recording.
