I updated my Radeon HD 5750 graphics card drivers to the final 16.2.1 option given by AMD which is a version of their Crimson software. On restart I got a new window on my PC called Raptr which does quite a lot apparently but also includes recording my game sessions. I checked through the settings etc and saw that there are options for automatic, manual, off but at 66yrs old I am not too sure whether I should leave it on auto or switch it off. Does anyone else with an ATI card use this program and what are the pros and cons of it. I did a check on Google prior to posting this but not a lot of info really so decided to ask here. Thanks in advance for any info offered.
Horizons Raptr ingame Recording Program Question?.

I used it. well it is up to you how to have it set up. auto means it is constantly recording your game sessions, you can set the duration of recording. So if you have it set to 10 min it will only keep the last 10min on your HDD. Comes in handy if something unexpected happened and you want to have footage of it. Switch on is manual on/off recording - so not really good if the unexpected happened.
Thanks for the reply Odinmaster, that's good, I switched it to manual but was unaware that I could set it to last 10 minutes. I will try that I thought if it was recording all the time I was playing it would likely be a resource hog?.
I removed raptr and keep it from installing, anytime I update my drivers. It has a function (for research, supposedly) which logs when games or game related applications are run. For me, that includes the Logitech Setpoint software which governs my keyboard and mouse. After a while, I had a 30GB text file, taking up space on my SSD, which I could not open to examine for contents (or rather it was so big, I was impatient to wait for it to open). The program created a second text file, when the first became too large, and that one had listings of when and for how long the software had run.
