| This guide covers how to set up a Replay Buffer using OBS Studio. Other methods such as Shadowplay are acceptable but OBS is generally preferred by the community for its simplicity and ease of use. | This guide covers how to set up a Replay Buffer using OBS Studio.

| - | Note: This guide covers using OBS with NVENC. NVENC is more efficient than recording x264 via CPU. Using X264 puts a heavy strain on the CPU and will affect your game performance. You should have at least an **Nvidia GTX 970 or 1060 6GB** to use NVENC efficiently. AMD cards unfortunately do not have a viable competitor to NVENC at this time. | + | Note: This guide covers using OBS with NVENC. NVENC is more efficient than recording x264 via CPU.
