This guide helps beginners to set up gameplay recording correctly on Nvidia graphics cards. We show you where to find the options in the GeForce Experience overlay and how to configure them for best results – for both GeForce and RTX cards.

//

Please bear in mind, however, that this is merely a recommendation and may vary depending on your hardware.//

1. Make sure GeForce Experience is installed.
2. Press the hotkey combination Alt + Z ^[1].
3. The overlay appears as a small menu at the top of the screen.

1. In the overlay menu, select Record > Start/Stop Recording ^[2].
2. Start or stop recording manually.
3. Please note that you must adjust the recording settings beforehand

1. Open the overlay (Alt + Z^[1]) > Recording > Instant Replay ^[3]
2. Click Switch on
3. Under Instant Replay settings:
   • Duration: Select how many minutes to save
   • Video quality: Low, Medium, High, Custom
   • Resolution: 720p (1280×720)
   • Bitrate: 7–10 Mbit/s
4. Hotkey: By default Alt + F10 ^[4].

1. Open the overlay (Alt + Z^[1]) > Recording > Recording quality 2. Options:

• Resolution: 1280×720
• Frame rate: 60 or 120 FPS ^[5]) > Settings > Hotkeys ^[6].

2. The following actions can be customised here:

• Start/stop recording
• Save instant replay
• Take a screenshot
• Start/stop broadcast

1. Open overlay (Alt + Z) > Recording > Recording location 2. Default path: `%USERPROFILE%\Videos` ^[7]. 3. The save location can be changed as required.

* Higher FPS or bitrate result in larger files ^[5] * NVENC reduces CPU load compared to software encoding * Instant Replay requires sufficient free memory * RTX cards can utilise AI features to enhance video quality whilst maintaining the same performance

Here is a recommendation based on recent experience:

• Settings:
  • Resolution: 720p (1280×720)
  • Frame rate: 60–120 FPS

• Nvidia GeForce ^[3]

Nvidia also offers the option to record audio and use your microphone. However, this must be configured separately. In Grand-RP, for example, what your ears and eyes normally hear and see must also be visible and audible in the video. If you can’t be heard, it may be because either the microphone has been disabled in the settings or Nvidia is experiencing one of its well-known audio bugs again. We’ll go into more detail on this shortly.

* Please note that Nvidia manages its own microphone, and you must select the correct one.

There is, or rather was, an audio bug which, following a driver update, adjusted the settings in such a way that you could no longer hear anything, or could only hear yourself – or, conversely, couldn’t hear yourself at all.
To fix this, the sliders in the audio settings must be set all the way to 0 and then back to 100.
Note that for the ‘Gain’ slider, the audio volume must be set to 100 in order to adjust it from 0 to 100 and back to 0.
