ShadowPlay only directly supports with games that use Direct3D, and not OpenGL. Not every game will work with NVIDIA ShadowPlay by default. How to Record OpenGL Games (and Your Entire Windows Desktop) Recordings will appear in a game-specific subfolder of your Videos folder by default. You can tweak these settings after enabling ShadowPlay (as described later in this guide), but if they look fine to you, you can start recording now. Just launch a game and use the above hotkeys to record gameplay and show the FPS counter. ShadowPlay also allows you to press Alt+F12 to view a live FPS counter in any game, even if you aren’t recording. With Manual mode, you can press the Alt+F9 keyboard shortcut to start manually recording a clip, then press Alt+F9 to stop the clip when you’re done recording. When you press the Alt+F10 keyboard shortcut, ShadowPlay will save a clip of the last five minutes of gameplay to your Videos folder. Shadow Mode will automatically record your gameplay and keep the last five minutes. By default, ShadowPlay uses “Shadow & Manual” mode.
