Recording Software

So unfortunately due to my potato graphics card I'm currently unable to use shadow play. I've looked into alternatives and recently tried OBS but am having trouble setting it up in a similar way to SP (as in hitting a button to record the last 5 mins). This is especially critical as I need to conserve what little HDD space I have left for my City Wok recipes.

Does anyone have any other suggestions which don't affect FPS and are compatible with potato computers, or alternatively have a simpleton-friendly profile to use for OBS?

Many Thanks. 

 
Does it need to record the last 10-20 mins or constant recording?

 
Thanks for the suggestion @Riku, I'll look into it.

Well from what I understand SP records all the time but deletes the data unless you hit a save button for the last 10 mins or so? Either way the aim of this is just to be able to save short segments without taking up stupid amounts of HDD space. 

 
@MrWong from my experience when using software's that only save the recording after you hit a button, they seem to eat up an awful lot of my FPS (I've only used SP and OBS)

I'd recommend recording constantly then just deleting it after every game, then you have all of the gameplay just in case you get reported for something you didn't realise you did and you have evidence.

 
I record my whole game time and edit it on youtube if I need to make comp or a report. I use obs studio as its fairly simple to set up and easy to use.

Did shadowplay work beforehand ? whats changed here ??? <-- is this not worth fixing if you were happy with it before ?
OBS can use the codec on the GPU to record and you will only loose a small amount of fps (basically the same as shadowplay). Any software that can interact with the hardware encoder on your GPU will mean you wont loose much fps, but if software encoding is selected you are going to take a big hit no matter what software you use.

 
SP has never worked unfortunately, do you know whether playstv interacts with the hardware encoder? I seem to loose quite a lot of fps from it...

What is the problem your having with Shadowplay, just saying it doesn't work is somewhat broad.

 
@lionel the Geforce experience software says Shadowplay isn't compatible with my scrublord graphics card... unless you know of a way to get around that?

You need a GTX600 or greater for shadowplay so you must be on quite old hardware.
