hmm...when i open raptr. top left corner has a "AMD Gaming Evolved"...now this confusing...

Looks like Intel cannot be too bothered punting their warez.....

Remind me someone please--is this an 1150 socket or do we have to splash out again?

Hopefully the screen capturing will have more compatibility than ShadowPlay...

Broadwell is the same, Skylake you'll need to upgrade.

I would expect so. Intel's QuickSync has been around since 2011; Kepler since 2012. There are vastly more iGPUs with QuickSync than nVidia Kepler GPUs. I don't know why it took four years for intel to do something with their h.264 encoder. I appreciate fraps, d3dgear, and dxtory but now that I have cards with shadowplay I can record 2560x1440p@60Hz while playing BF4 without a single stutter in-game nor in the recording. Of course a non OS SSD to record on helps a lot, too.

Shame that no desktop Core i3 with the Iris Pro IGP will be sold.

It's never a good sign when makers start comparing things to 9 year old products. How good are the new gfx compared to the 4770k igp?
