Probably shadowplay or something like that. I think you can set up shadowplay like xbox one's clip thing where you just hit a hotkey and it saves the last 10-20 seconds of footage for you.

this is what i use/do. Shadowplay and hotkey for the last 30 seconds of gameplay. Which is what I had my xbox one setup like.

If they were a streamer though it was either OBS or they had someone in their channel clip and link back.

I have shadowplay recording all kills/knocks/deaths, and the instant replay set up for 20 minute intervals (maximum) in case I want to save an entire match or forget to hit record.

I tried the all highlights feature but it made my computer almost poo poo itself? Everytime I quit the game it wasn't like processing my videos properly or something. This resulted in a page file/temp files so massive whenever I closed the game I'd get warnings about running out of memory and that windows was gonna be closing a ton of poo poo down.

I'm shuffling everything over to my 2TB spinner, including the temp files. I don't know if shadowplay runs directly from the HD or if it does something on the SSD in between, but it works perfectly. Maybe gently caress around with the Nvidia settings?

Tell me about running pubg on a 4k monitor. I bought a new PC a month ago to play this game (but mostly because my old system was really starting show it's age).

My new specs are:
i7-7700K
16GB RAM
256SSD
GTX 1080Ti

The game runs like butter at ultra settings in 1080p on my 22 inch monitor. But just like my PC was starting to show it's age, I'm now having issues with my monitor starting to flicker so I need to replace it.

I've been looking at https://www.amazon.com/PG279Q-2560x1440-G-SYNC-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B017EVR2VM
But knowing how weird pubg performance can be I'm hesitant to upgrade. Thoughts?

I have that monitor, and almost those exact specs (I have a 1080 and 32GB RAM). I love the monitor. On games that I still dip under 60fps (Hitman on Ultra) GSYNC is a saviour. On games that I run well over 60FPS, the ultra low motion blur thing is really nice as well. Super smooth. Buy it.

I play PUBG on very low aside from textures and anti-aliasing, and I get 80-100FPS after landing.

edit: I have the older 144Hz version of that monitor

Too many variables to give clear answers without getting a lot of contradictory advice.
Is there a vehicle available?
What meds and boosts do you have if you need to take circle damage?
Did many people land in the same area as you? Did you land on the north side of the map and it looks like the game will end on military island or vice versa?

Those are a few of the details you need to know, and those are rhetorical questions to help you gauge the situation.

In FPP solo I play like a genuine piece of poo poo and prefer to be the last guy to make it in (at least for the first few nonlethal circles) so I can be almost completely sure that there is nobody behind me, and that if there is, I'll probably hear them coming because they'll be sprinting or driving. Of course, there's also a massive advantage to being the first guy in, so... your mileage may vary. Remember that you can spend literally 4-5 minutes outside of the first circle as long as you have a vehicle (preferably a bike) and meds to chain. You don't have to be there exactly on time every single time.

My last 5 solo FPP games have been 2 wins and 3 top 10s. I think I've figured this out.

Anxiously awaiting another streak of bad games to bring me back down to earth.

Like is that speed during the normal weather or rain or fog or what?? It doesn't even mention elevation or humidity or anything else that could effect velocity when the test was run so how are we supposed to know what those mean?

A common theme I seem to be facing is when I finally get good loot the circle is a million miles away and I can't find a vehicle. I'm looting pretty quickly now, but is there some trick to finding a car?

It would be neat if having a small equipment load- that is, no armor or equipped weapons beyond a pistol and grenades- would allow faster movement. It would be good for the beginning of the game to deal with bad drop points, lack of vehicles with circles on the opposite map corner, etc.

Why stop there? I need to know which character runs fastest. Does hairstyle choice affect wind resistance?

running along the road is usually your best bet. The other things I'd recommend is if the circle is really far away don't wait until its moving to find a car, watch for a car as you're floating towards your destination in your parachute and also check that map that shows where cars can spawn.

Also scan your area for cars as you're dropping in so you know in advance if you're gonna have to run or not.

This is always a good idea, especially if there's only a few and people drop alongside you. Camping a car to blap them on their way out isn't a bad scheme.

Pretty new to the game, playing on OC servers.

They've recently introduced FPP duo servers as a trial. After seeing the hype about FPP I tried it out, and it felt... uncomfortable. Something about it felt off, and I ended up doing a suicide rush 10 mins into the game because I felt like I was getting motion sickness.

Bare in mind I've played FPS games for the last 15 years of my life constantly, and have never run into this issue. I have the view FOV slider maxed out also. Anyone have any ideas/have experienced this before?

Apparently with full gear, you have no problem running just a hair slower than circa 1912 world 1000m records, sustained for 10km.

They should shrink the players a little bit, in all honesty.

This might be the same jank I was experiencing because it only got noticeable in forced FPP servers which it seems I gotta play solo to avoid since that's all I ever get grouping with goons :argh:
