I know, it's a travesty. And I'm a criminal for doing it, too.
I attended Clarkson University in the early 90s which was awash with IBM hardware. Students were "given" (we purchased them through tuition) PS/2s, and the labs all over campus were full of IBM RS/6000s. Model Ms were everywhere. Literally. When I left Clarkson, I had a few of them, brand new, still in their boxes. I kept them for a long time, and even tried making them work properly with those awful 6-pin-to-USB adapters. But at the time (this would be late 90s), those adapters were trash and didn't work... well.
My mistake: I chucked the keyboards. Off to the local electronics recycling center. I think I got rid of 5 of them, if I'm not mistaken. And yes, I should be punished for my crime.
Today, I use the modern version of the M, built by Unicomp with full USB functionality. They're not *perfect* copies of the original M, but they're damned close. And they still annoy my co-workers.;-)
Last I knew, YT transcodes everything to webm, though that may have changed since I checked. So unless you're sending them a webm file (which will bring your PC to its knees to create), you're still going to have to wait for YT to transcode.
These articles and youtube videos were created by folks that literally have no no idea what they're talking about. Set OBS to NVENC. Crank the bitrate to 50Mbit/sec just like ShadowPlay uses for its default. Go.
Zero load on the CPU and zero FPS hit. Full stop.
And yes, I've spent considerable time using both. ShadowPlay is a very useful app for folks who don't want or need the flexibility that OBS offers. OBS, on the other hand, is a "cake and eat it too" app. But you need to put in some configuration effort.
Or, you can ignorantly quote folks who have no idea what they're talking about and carry on using ShadowPlay. It makes no difference to me.:-)
The problem is: YouTube can't ingest h.265 files, so our OP would still need to transcode it to h.264. Last I checked, YT had no intentions of adopting h.265 as an allowed ingest, either, as it's insanely computationally expensive to de-encode.
> It may be worth getting commercial account. They often have symmetrical speeds and no data caps.
That depends entirely on where the OP lives and what ISP(s) (s)he has access to. If in the US and the only choice is one of the major MSOs, then, for the time being, it'll be asymmetrical.
> HAH. good luck on that one if you are not in area that provides symmetrical internet connections.
Well, like it or not, Malenx's post is on point. Sure, it may not be easy to "get better Internet", and that's fair. But ultimately, to upload a video file to YouTube in less time, you either need: 1. Faster upload speeds 2. To reduce the resolution/size of your files.
Our OP seems intent on 4K/60, which requires a *LOT* of bits to deliver clean and clear video. That's gonna make the file sizes quite large, thereby eliminating choice #2.
There's a bunch to your "simple" question.:-) Starting from the end of your post: your uploads are taking so long because of the fill size. If you're recording 4K/60 and you haven't changed any of the default ShadowPlay settings, you're likely recording at 50Mbit/sec. A 15 minute 50Mbit/sec file, even a compressed MP4, is gonna be a bit large. There's no way around that. And you *want* that bitrate given the 4K resolution that you're recording; lowering that will make your raw recordings lose some details.
If you're happy with ShadowPlay, keep using it. The "accepted" software solution that most use is OBS Studio, and it has access to the same NVENC encoder that ShadowPlay uses. But it's vastly more configurable and way more flexible. ShadowPlay is literally made so that anyone can fire it up, hit a button, and go. OBS takes a bit of tinkering with at first, just to get everything configured the way you want it. But once you learn how flexible it is, you'll never go back. It'll produce the same h.264 files ShadowPlay can with the same "no load on the system". IOW: it won't affect your gaming.
This is a YOOOGE topic, however. And it can go in so many different directions depending on what your final goal is. Some folks record and stream using a single PC. Others (such as myself) record one one machine and stream with another. There's lots of flexibility available with this, it just depends on what you're after, what you're willing to run, and how much money you're willing to spend.
If you only use 1 or 2 apps, I agree the sub model isn't ideal. And note, I'm not defending it, either. But when you start dipping into 4 or 5 (or more) of the Suite applications, it becomes an interesting cost model. I still don't like it, and I would jump at the chance for an outright purchase. But the sub model let me start playing around with AE, and gave me access to AU, which complimented my use of PR. Along with those three, I also regularly use PS and LR.
I'm not a fan of the sub model; I use several of the Adobe apps, so the $50/month seems like a steal when you consider the Suite used to cost in the thousands of dollars. But I'd still rather pay up once and be able to keep using the software as much as I wanted.
My first home computer was a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A which sat in my bedroom connected to my 13" color television. I did a combination of playing cartridge-based video games on it, and programming in TI's (attempt at) BASIC. The only upgrade I made to it (with help from the 'rents) was adding a cassette player for data storage.
Gawd that thing was awful. And painful. But it was my first.
Back in the early 90s when websites were just being created and foisted upon us (yes, kids, there was an Internet (long) before there was a slashdot!) a funny and insightful friend said this, "I don't know about this new World Wide Web thing. It's going to make people think they're a resource." Blogs are one realization of her forecast. I see social media (and all the crap that goes on it) as another form of it.
In an IT position without administrative rights, you don't have authority. Responsibility without authority = run away screaming.
I'm not sure you completely understand the point behind an architecture role. The responsibilities are *different*. They're not tactical operations in nature. The role is strategic; thinking months if not years in advance, asking questions about something that no one else has thought about, seeing big-picture things (50,000-ft view) versus close-in things (1000-ft view).
Folks who can successfully make that transition get to enjoy the benefits of being an architect. One of the key benefits, at least in my mind: no more on-call.:-) I've done my decade and a half of network on-call and it wore me the eff out. I'm glad I don't have to do it any more. I'm still and individual contributor (vs being a manager) and still highly technical in nature. I just don't "conf t" in production any longer. I do in the lab, but not where it counts.
Folks who *can't* make that transition in thought will stay in an operations role for the rest of their careers. And that may be perfectly acceptable to them; there's nothing wrong with it at all. It's just a different set of skills.
Don't be so quick to shun your architects. They might actually know more than you do.;-)
That's fair. I've worked for companies with ~200 employees, upwards of 20000 employees, over 100000 employees, and now just over 1000 employees. So my reference is skewed towards the US norms.
A company with 3000 employees is small-to-moderate size. The market cap is impressive for a company that size, but the company itself isn't in any way considered "big".
What they're offering isn't out of the norm, though I might negotiate with them and ask for read-only access (non-root for servers) at least. I've been a network architect for a few years, and one of the things that comes with: loss of enable access to the routers and switches. Mind you, I was a data center network engineer for a whole bunch of years so I know my way around them. But the organizations would rather I "look, but don't touch". The great thing about it is: I can't be called for an on-call issue because there's nothing I can do to fix it.:-)
Welcome to needing to think strategically. Take what they're offering as a compliment and run with it!
so to suggest that the auto industry will follow some parallel of the PC industry is just silly.
Yep. Further: there are very few industries as overly-burdened with Federal requirements (see: http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rule... for just 1 example) as the auto industry is. The connection TFA makes between the two industries is tenuous at best. More accurately: it's non-existent.

Out of curiosity can you tell me which distro you use and management tools (virt-manager) ?
Certainly. When I first converted the Mac, I used Ubuntu's latest LTS (14.something). The reason: I needed a distro that supported GRUB 2 for EFI boots. I really prefer CentOS/RHEL, but at the time, CentOS 6 was only distributing GRUB 1. Just today, I finally converted it over to CentOS 7 which required breaking out of the Anaconda installer, running parted to delete all existing partitions on the target disk, and then editing one of the Python files on the ramdisk. It wasn't fun, but it worked (bug in RHEL installer. They know about it but don't care).
As for management, I use either virt-manager, or I just edit new XML files and "virsh define" the new VMs.

No, son, we do it with platinum.
Oh, wait. Shit. I gave our secret away.
I haven't used Shadowplay in an age; I'll bet the maximum is... 100Mbit/sec? ;-)

That's a local configuration issue, not something wrong w/OBS. Check your settings.

> How big is the file?
If they're recording at ShadowPlay's default 50Mbit/sec rate, that'd by a 5.6GB file, give or take.
(50Mbit/sec * 15 * 60sec) / 8
