Try Our GeForce Experience Share Early Access Beta

The company also pledged console-like DVR functionality in the next update, with the aforementioned embedded streaming being joined the a simple video capture and editing system with direct YouTube upload support.

According to Nvidia’s FAQ for the beta, GameStream Co-op is only meant for DirectX 9 or higher games running in fullscreen and streams are limited to 720p, 30FPS. Sure, sometimes I tweak them once I’m in, but it’s nice to have something to tell you what settings will give you the best experience.

Most of the games on the compatibility list support GameStream Co-op for passing control back and forth between players. Not quite ready for prime-time, the company has released a beta of the new GeForce Experience as an optional download for anyone interested in giving the new features a go. Users of the GeForce Experience Early Access Share beta can record, share, and broadcast game sessions with others, all from an easy to use and intuitive user interface that is available within video game titles.

The PC hosting the stream needs a GeForce GTX 650 or higher graphics card (desktop) or a Non-Optimus Notebook with a GeForce GTX 660M or higher; an Intel i3-2100 or higher CPU, 4GB of RAM, and at least 7 Mbps of upstream bandwidth are also recommended.

On the surface, the new GFE features appear as if they’re not all that different from what existing services offer: Gameplay video streaming has been done by Twitch and YouTube; sharing access to games has been done through Steam’s Family Sharing; co-op game streaming seems pointless in the face of just using multiplayer.
