AMD Gaming Evolved (Raptr) - Having real problems getting it "up" for Horizons
- Thread starter NeilF

That's the truth commander.
Huh? eg:?
I thought it used hardware in the card? I see no performance hit with it at all?
As verified at Anandtech - http://www.anandtech.com/show/8224/hands-on-with-amds-gaming-evolved-client-game-dvr
Performance graph - http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph8224/64878.png
Anyway, hopefully someone who uses it can comment?
Hehe. Indeed. It's a ' pest.
I'm confused... Works fine for me (with everything but Horizons) with no noticable performance hit. Indeed as AnandTech suggests too! - http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph8224/64878.png
If there's an alternative by all means suggest what it is

Interested in this also. What are the alternatives for amd sods?
..I don't think there are? Raptr basically creates no performance hit and allows full capture or highlight capture!?
That said I believe Windows 10 has something built in, but I don't know how efficient/effective it is.
Are you using Raptr? Is it popping up for Horizons (if you have access to it)?
If you want to capture then MSI Afterburner will do the job for you in a much less annoying fashion, as well as give you more information as to how your PC is running than you will ever need or be able to handle.....

True, but how is Raptr annoying? - A button to start/stop recording. And even a button to save the last 30 second (highlight), which I believe Afterburner cannot do.
Is Afterburner as efficient as Raptr too?

There is an option to pre-record in Afterburner, although not tried it. Not noticed any slowdown when recording with it.
Perhaps Raptr has improved, but it came across as complete bloatware when I last tried it, certainly slowed my machine down a good bit.

Sorry to drag an older thread back, but just wondering if a new update has been released for rapr yet, mine is still not working in Horizons, it works in other games ok, and was ok in in ED before Horizons, when i checked i noticed that Raptr only looks for the ED 32bit exe, and not the horizons 64bit exe, no option is available for adding the 64bit version, (in the add\browse game settings) is there a way around this.
Whatever you do don't let it "optimise" your game settings. I installed the new 16.1 drivers and allowed it to do it's thing and my frame rate went down to 12fps. This is on a PC with an i5 4690K overclocked to 4.6Ghz and an AMD R9 390. I uninstalled it and set the graphical options in the game to Ultra and my FPS went back up to the 120fps I've been used to.

Yes, i never use the optimise feature, only reason i use it is for the recording, and even then, only the hotkey record last 5mins feature. Which currently is not working wth Horizons.
As has been said the optimize feature is a bit odd (Sets ED to 3.0 SS ) but apart from that I use it all the time. I can assure you that the slight drop in FPS is due to the system processing the video stream nothing more - we've had it in bits .
Just as there are some people who hate steam, origin and some other stuff does not mean they are all bad. I suspect it's something they read in a you tube comment making it law, obviously!
The video streams you can record are good and I find them far clearer than what MSI afterburner can output.
Like I said - It changes things to the absolute max in ED - if you don't spot this when looking at the settings then you will loose all the FPS goodness and blame the software for doing what you asked it to do.
