Quakelive uses OpenGL and Shadowplay is only capable of capturing DirectX games. Hence you need a workaround like window mode or what stealth said.

Is shadowplay actually any good? Also did you notice steam is has its own streaming service or tools (in beta I think)?

Shadowplay is great. HQ recording with practically 0 performance loss.

Shadowplay is pretty good. Its best sides are its easy and it works.
Unfortunally for people who want to edit the videos, will find out SP use variable framerate. You need to reencode the whole video (with handbrake using h264 high) from variable to constant framerate, if you want to edit it, in a videoprogram. If you dont make it constant it will have more audio lag the longer the i video is played, after being edited.

OBS is great, but some may get crashes sometimes. OBS can use same power from GPU as SP can, but it can add graphics, directly on screen, etc. Its much more designed for live streaming, but works good to record to file, also, both, or only.

In my opinion it’s the best tool for testing games. You can always keep it running and if anything special happens like a bug, good frag etc. you can save it. So you will never miss anything and that’s what makes it so awesome and useful for testing.
Though I wouldn’t use it for making frag movies.
