Question: Similar patch possible for NvFBC? (video capturing)

Created by: juicefreak

Hello,

My question is: Has anyone looked into the possibility of enabling unrestricted use of this feature on GeForce cards?

Nvidia says NvFBC is only supported on Quadros (and trying some examples from the Capture SDK they indeed don't work on my GeForce card), but somehow magically GeForce Experience on Windows uses NvFBC for streaming/recording. Steam's InHome Streaming also uses it on both Linux and Windows.

OBS performance on Linux honestly sucks versus the Windows version due to X limitations (though it's still usable in many cases). Having this method to capture video available could possibly help a lot.

(also NvIFR could be nice for capturing games running in windowed mode, but it seems Nvidia has deprecated it starting from Capture SDK v7.1 so who knows how long it'll stay...)
