Shadowplay and GSYNC

Has anyone tried using Shadowplay with gsync? I haven't seen any information on if the two work together anywhere.

There is no reason why it shouldn't work. G-Sync just controls the monitor. Shadowplay works even if you turn off your monitor, or even disconnect it.

I'll give it a shot once I upgrade my monitor. I don't see why there would be any problems using both since it's essentially just adaptive vsync with a modified video mode.

That said, Shadowplay playback timings does not create original frame timings.
So, the GSYNC effect is not preserved nor is the LightBoost effect.

Only a framerate=Hz video recording of VSYNC ON (e.g. 60fps@60Hz) currently records frame timings fully synchronously into the video, for ShadowPlay, for a similiar look-and-feel of video preserving the same motion fluidity as the actual gameplay.
