NVIDIA App has learned to record video at 240 FPS on RTX 40 and RTX 50

The NVIDIA App has been updated to version 11.0.8 — a release that changes how ShadowPlay captures gameplay.

Top headline: ShadowPlay now supports ultra-high frame rates, up to 240 FPS, on modern GeForce RTX 40 and RTX 50 cards (e.g., recent GPUs from those families). This isn’t just a small increment; it targets people who want very high-FPS captures.

What you can actually record at 240 FPS depends on the card’s NVENC encoder count. Cards with two NVENCs — starting with the RTX 4070 Ti in the previous generation (Ada) and the RTX 5070 Ti in the current Blackwell line — can hit 4K at 240 FPS; the others will be limited to 1440p. Quick human note: NVENC = video enc. hardware on the GPU.

The update also re-introduces optimizations and a DLSS override for 17 titles that were previously available in the beta build:

• ’83
• Active Matter
• Bus Bound
• Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss
• Dawn of Defiance
• Far Far West
• INDUSTRIA 2
• MONGIL: STAR DIVE
• MOUSE: P.I. For Hire
• NTE (Neverness to Everness)
• PRAGMATA
• Samson
• Screamer
• Subliminal
• Sudden Strike 5
• Twinmotion
• Windrose

If you own an RTX 40/50 card and record gameplay often, take a minute to check ShadowPlay’s settings — enable 240 FPS where your hardware supports it.
