ARCH LINUX SCREEN RECORDER INSTALL

To install GPU Screen Recorder on non-arch based distros.ĭo NOT install the NixOS package for GPU Screen Recorder or any other non official package. You can also install gpu screen recorder ( the gtk gui version) from flathub, which is the easiest method install.sh, but you need to manually install the dependencies, as described below. If you are running another distro then you can run sudo. If you are running an Arch Linux based distro, then you can find gpu screen recorder on aur under the name gpu-screen-recorder-git ( yay -S gpu-screen-recorder-git).

Recording the monitor instead is recommended in such cases. Performance is the same when recording a single window or the monitor, however in some cases, such as when gpu usage is 100%, the video capture rate might be slower than the games fps when recording a single window instead of a monitor. Note! use at your own risk! Note about optimal performance on AMD/Intel Note that this only works when Xorg server is running as root, and using this option will only give you a performance boost if the game you are recording is bottlenecked by your GPU. You can automatically add this option if you run sudo nvidia-xconfig -cool-bits=12 and then reboot your computer. You also need to have 'Coolbits' NVIDIA X setting set to '12' to enable overclocking. To enable overclocking for optimal performance use the -oc option when running GPU Screen Recorder. To work around this bug, GPU Screen Recorder can overclock your GPU memory transfer rate to it's normal optimal level.

ARCH LINUX SCREEN RECORDER DRIVER

NVIDIA driver has a 'feature' (read: bug) where it will downclock memory transfer rate when a program uses cuda (or nvenc, which uses cuda), such as GPU Screen Recorder. Note that if you have a very powerful CPU and a not so powerful GPU and play a game that is bottlenecked by your GPU and barely uses your CPU then a CPU based screen recording (such as OBS with libx264 instead of nvenc) might perform slightly better than GPU Screen Recorder. It is recommended to save the video to a SSD because of the large file size, which a slow HDD might not be fast enough to handle. The quality is also much better when using gpu screen recorder. When recording GTA V at 4k on highest settings, fps drops from 60 to 23 when using obs-nvfbc + nvenc, however when using this screen recorder the fps only drops to 58. When recording Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild at 4k, fps drops from 30 to 7 when using OBS Studio + nvenc, however when using this screen recorder the fps remains at 30. On a system with a i5 4690k CPU and a GTX 1080 GPU:

To make this safer, the part that needs root access has been moved to its own executable (to make it as small as possible).įor you as a user this only means that if you installed GPU Screen Recorder as a flatpak then a prompt asking for root password will show up when you start recording. When recording a window under AMD/Intel no special user permission is required, however when recording a monitor (or when using wayland) the program needs root permission (to access KMS).

ARCH LINUX SCREEN RECORDER SOFTWARE

mkv file instead when using AMD/Intel, as some software may have better support for. Use MPV to play such videos, otherwise you might experience stuttering in the video if you are using a buggy video player.

Videos created on AMD/Intel are in variable framerate format.

Recording a single window doesn't have this issue. This happens even when using ffmpeg directly.

Recording the monitor on steam deck might fail sometimes.

screen-direct capture has been temporary disabled as it causes issues with stuttering.

GPU Screen Recorder only supports h264 and hevc codecs at the moment which means that webm files are not supported.ĬPU usage may be higher on wayland than on x11 when using nvidia. Note that some applications such as mpv will not work in fullscreen mode. This will allow variable refresh rate to work when recording fullscreen applications. If you are using a variable refresh rate monitor on nvidia on x11 then choose to record 'screen-direct-force'. This software works with x11 and wayland, but when using AMD/Intel or Wayland then only monitors can be recorded.

Where only the last few seconds are saved.

This screen recorder can be used for recording your desktop offline, for live streaming and for nvidia shadowplay-like instant replay, This is the fastest screen recording tool for Linux. This is a screen recorder that has minimal impact on system performance by recording a window using the GPU only,
