Testing AMD's ReLive Streaming Abilities

For those interested

As many of you may know AMD released today their latest Crimson driver update which includes ReLive. ReLive is a recording and streaming technology similar to ShadowPlay.

I just wanted to test it out and quickly streamed a little Witcher 3 to YouTube. ReLive currently supports Twitch, YouTube and custom streaming servers. Settings for this were 1080p 60 FPS. I used the default 6 mbps then changed it to the max (10 mbps) at the 6:40 ish mark. FPS loss when streaming was minimal. Around 2-5 FPS or so it seemed to me.

This is by no means a difinitive or thurough test. Just wanted to try it out quick. Can watch the archived stream here:

There has also been done a test by AdoredTV. An absolutely fantastic channel with thorough reviews and analysis.

Which graphics card are you using?
Are all GCN cards supported or only the RX series?
I found this on AMDs official website:
"Compatible with desktop discrete AMD Radeon™ GCN and Radeon RX 400 Series enabled products with at least 2GB of VRAM, AMD VCE Support and Windows® 7/8.1/10 64 bit operating systems."

This was done on a single R9 390 at 1015 Mhz and a Xeon 1230V3.

I believe it is all GCN cards but maybe not 1.0. Not sure on that one and have no ability to test as I don't have any GCN 1.0 GPUs.

I saw. His results are interesting and are the only ones saying it is better than ShadowPlay. Although it does seem to be on a game to game basis TBH I'd take a lot of what he says with a grain of salt. He is wrong and has been wrong about quite a lot of things in the past.
