Nvidia has released a new, enhanced GeForce Experience Beta. Last month the green team updated this software to add in-game screenshot capture, editing and upload plus new broadcast features. Yesterday the Beta was updated yet again to provide desktop and windowed-mode capture when recording gameplay, broadcasting online and taking screenshots, and new 'advanced' microphone controls.

To activate Windowed Mode and Desktop Capture for videos and screenshots users of the new GeForce Experience Beta are told to navigate to the software's preferences tab, click on share, scroll down and tick the 'Turn on desktop capture for Instant Replay, Record, and Broadcast' tick-box. Nvidia says this option will allow you to "capture footage, stream, and take screenshots of virtually every game". Switching between windowed and full screen modes will not interrupt any recording you may be doing. The previously integrated Gallery features built into the GeForce Experience Beta will let you crop any distracting elements from your windowed mode captures.

If you are recording your gaming and enjoy providing commentary, for example, mic controls are an important part of the setup. Now the new Nvidia GeForce Experience Beta allows some essential tweaking of your mic input directly. The new mic controls are found within the Share Overlay. Using the overlay UI you can adjust recording volumes, add mic boost and switch between recording devices.

Interested Nvidia users can update their beta client if they are already enjoying testing these betas, or alternatively you can go to GeForce.com to grab the sotfware and install it manually.

Yes, it's getting better and better. Hopefully they wont break anything and will test it well before the final release this time.
Isn't the whole point of this to break games on any GPU except their newest high-end models? That's at least what it seemed like so far. Oh nvm that was Gameworks. This is the software that is supposed to destroy any card that is older than five years.
I really hate the three month wait between drivers from Nvidia. Feels like I should get some kind of refund.

Are you really dumb enough to believe that?

I really hate the three month wait between drivers from Nvidia. Feels like I should get some kind of refund.

1) You're a idiot for thinking you deserve a refund for that
2) There's no such thing as a three month wait between drivers
3) The last (non hotfix) driver came out 24 days ago. A hotfix driver was released yesterday. The wait between the current (non hotfix) driver (361.43) and the driver before (359.06) that was 20 days. 359.00 to 359.06 was 12 days. 358.91 to 359.00 was 10 days. Should I keep going on?
4) 3 months ago was Wednesday, 14 October 2015. They have provided 5 drivers (6 if you count hotfix) between that date and now.
100% serious. You can keep going if you feel the need. But you seem to be agreeing with me that the three month wait for drivers is bad then say “There's no such thing as a three month wait between drivers”
