A ShadowPlay alternative
that works on any GPU.
NVIDIA ShadowPlay's Instant Replay is great, if you have a GeForce card and don't mind running the NVIDIA App. Revidi gives you the same rolling replay buffer on any Windows 10 or 11 PC, whether your GPU is NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel.
Revidi encodes with NVENC, the same hardware encoder ShadowPlay uses, so capture stays off your CPU and out of your frame rate.
Where Revidi pulls ahead is everything after the save. The share link is in your clipboard the moment the clip lands, and a built-in editor trims it to the part that mattered. The link you pasted is instantly updated.

Revidi vs NVIDIA ShadowPlay at a glance.
Why people switch from ShadowPlay
No GPU lock-in
ShadowPlay requires a GeForce GPU. Revidi runs on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel graphics, and picks the best encoder available: NVENC on NVIDIA, AMF on AMD, and x264 as a software fallback.
A clip app, not a driver suite
No overlays, no game filters, no driver bundling. Revidi is a lightweight, standalone tray app powered by OBS Studio that starts with Windows and buffers quietly in the background.
Saved means shared
ShadowPlay saves a file and leaves the rest to you. Revidi uploads the clip in the background, and the share link is in your clipboard. Paste the link into Discord and it previews inline.
When to use Shadowplay over Revidi
If you're on a GeForce card, rarely share clips, and already live in the NVIDIA App for driver updates and game settings, ShadowPlay is a perfectly good built-in option. Use Revidi when you want a minimal, unbloated experience, or when sharing a clip should take one paste instead of a file upload.
Questions, answered.
Does Revidi use NVENC like ShadowPlay?
Yes. On NVIDIA GPUs Revidi encodes with NVENC, the same dedicated hardware encoder ShadowPlay uses. On AMD GPUs it uses AMF, and on machines without a hardware encoder it falls back to x264.
Will Revidi affect my in-game FPS?
Hardware encoding runs on your GPU's dedicated encoder block rather than its 3D cores, so the performance impact is comparable to ShadowPlay's. The replay buffer only writes a file when you press your save hotkey.
Is Revidi free?
Yes. Downloading Revidi and saving unlimited clips locally is free. A free account lets you share 3 clips to the cloud and edit up to 3; Premium ($4.99/month) removes those limits.
Do I have to uninstall the NVIDIA App or GeForce drivers?
No. Revidi is a standalone app and doesn't touch your drivers. If you keep ShadowPlay's Instant Replay enabled, just make sure the two save hotkeys don't overlap.
