Okay I did some looking around on the nvidia forums and the issues there where mostly with people running dedicated physx cards. Then I did a search here; I can't find any info about my issue. I just switched from an 270x to a 970. I uninstalled AMD's drivers + software and then I got Nvidia's drivers + geforce experience. After I rebooted I tried to enable shadowplay but I just bluescreen'ed as soon as I tried to turn it on.
My driver version is 353.30
My specs:
i7 4770k
16 gb ram (2x8)
970 strix
win 7 64bit
