If you set resolution to “in-game”, it appears that you can still set the bitrate to 130mbps, but in reality Shadowplay will only record at a measly 85mbps. If you set the resolution to 4K instead of your actual resolution, you will gain access to higher recording bitrates which is required to get good looking recordings from Shadowplay. Set bitrate to 130mbps (or whichever highest bitrate you can select).

Set Resolution to 4K (even if you don’t have a 4K screen!!).The most important aspect is correctly settings up the video capture recording settings tab in the Nvidia GeForce Experience.

You will need an Nvidia GPU that supports NVENC.

Further, I show you some how to avoid laggy or broken recordings in games that utilize loads of GPU resources such as COD Modern Warfare Warzone. In this blog post, I will show you a trick that allows you to get the best video quality while recording using Shadowplay. No other game capture method (other than a capture card) is able to record gameplay at such a small performance penalty. To make things easier, try opening a game directly from GeForce Experience, an application that initiates a game in full-screen mode by default. So, simply access the game settings and launch it on full screen. Shadowplay (or the Nvidia GeForce experience) allows you to record gameplay seamlessly with minimal performance loss (about 1-5%) by utilizing the dedicated NVENC chip available on selected Nvidia graphics cards. It is a standard practice for games to be recorded in such mode too.
