Cool new nVidia feature: constant in-game recording

If you are using the latest of the latest driver, you may have gotten the live update feature already, it came with one of the latest driver versions (which I do not use,so...

). However, they now added a showdow feature: the gfx card will constantly write the past 15 or 20 minutes of game action to a temporary file, and if you did something greatz or something worth to be turned into a movie and shown around, you hit a keyboard command, and the temp file gets saved as a permanent file, and a new temp file gets started.

By the sound of it: cool idea!

But I am using 314.22, and I will not corrupt a stable and solid driver version (the first driver since I upgraded from 275.xx that does not behave like a diva!) just for this new feature.

You need a GTX 650 or better, and latest driver, along with nVidia Experience 1.7 My card is GTX660, so I would be fine, but as I said: I dislike experiments with GFX drivers. Thinking so by plenty of non-positive experiences.

come on...no risk no fun..... create a "wiederherstellungspunkt" of your system and try it out....

...if you are not happy then restore your system to the old state....done in a few minutes...

by the way, if nobody would be willing to try out something new we would still be in the stone age...
