?Remote desktops that have GPU (videocard)?

1. Guy wants to take screencaps of installation of teh game, so HE will know that game that he post does work, and can freely upload it among first, and get more views, $$, rating, whatever. All that with best uploading speed (100/1000mbps) Just like Toothless does right?

2. @CyberPunk: dedi's have integrated video solution, but not gaming one. You can take screencaps of video without using DirectX. Lot different from what you want.

hmm... why don't you do that just local? wouldn't it be easier? or is it because of the slow local connection?

my computer is pretty good even though it can't run the latest games. However the main reason is download speed : in a remote desktop I can download a dvd in 5 minutes whereas with my 1Mbit/s (I download at 106 KB/s) It takes me 12 hours and nowadays most games weigh 7 GB or more so thats 24 hours . I guess that pro uploaders aren't taking screenshots from their home but from a rdp.

OK but who uploaded that screenshot for the first time? And those that post screenshots installing the game and all that?



I don't want to start a gameserver, just to download an ISO, mount it with daemon tools, install the game taking screenshots of the process, run the game, take a screenshot and exit...Just that. Then I use paint to save the screenshot as a jpg.

LOL man, that's a lot of crap to do for just a couple of screenshots, you can find images of games long before they're released on gaming sites like IGN. Unless you want unique screenshots for some other purpose.

Difference between having IGN screenshots and own desktop with all icons there, is like 10K more replies and downloads


That is the whole point of his idea

You understood what I want I will PM you also. So are you saying that there's no way of taking screencaps of a video game without using DirectX? If so, I would simply need to install DirectX on the remote desktop right? I forgot to mention that I saw an offer where I got full access to a remote desktop (I can use all the resources as it is 1 server = 1 user) So if I install DirectX would I be able to play and take screenshots even though it hasn't got a GPU?

By the way who's Toothless? I searched from him in the forum but didn't find him, even deselecting exact name.

As cvrle77 said I want to take unique screenshots of the games so that I can watermark them and give more trust to downloaders

lol ull have bad looking screenshots, not to mention not all the games will run, unless you have a very expensive gfx card on the server. You'll end up spending a lot of money for a couple screenshots?

ok sry CyberPunk74689 didn't saw that one. then it's all clear. may i know why you need the screenshots? i think that it would be easier to seach google for screenshots.

[cvrle77]

Problem in gamez are NUKED releases, not teh same as moviez. In a movie u can see teh screenshots, real ones. Lots of releases from good names ended up as total waste of bandwidth, for downloaders, and since RS is charging for BW, they go with teh one uploaders, that tested games by themselves.

I know exactly what u want, once i had teh same idea, and ended up in wasting lots of time searching for it.

^ I don't think you know exactly what he wants

[cvrle77]

Yes, I do, for his question he is on my msn, don't worry
