Game Bar Required Hardware

Cops11 · Apr 29, 2020

So, I have contacted people at least 4 times on this issue and have gotten nothing to work. I'm just about losing hope, but thought why not ask for help from the community.

When going into settings under Gaming, the icon 'Game DVR' is not there.

I have learned this after watching many other videos of fixing this issue. Does anyone have an answer for this?

Hi,

That's your Windows version, we need to know what your machine is. For Game Bar to record gameplay or even desktop applications - Game Bar can record more than just games - your PC graphics hardware needs to be compatible.

If you're not sure, you can run a tool that is already included in Windows 10. This is called the 'DirectX Diagnostic Tool'.

To run the tool hold down the Windows key and tap R on your keyboard. In the Run box type
dxdiag and press OK

On the System tab, I'm interested in What your computer says in the
processor section (circled)

Next on the Display tab, please tell use what your system says in the section circled on the left (there is no need to tell us what's on the right.

The above example is from my PC. I have a very high end gaming PC.

Hi,

If you can tell me what your PC/laptop is (make model) I will tell you if game DVR is possible on your hardware.

Thanks.

weird to see an apu that is an intel cpu with amd 6700 gpu

it is actually a proper card but it is one of the worst cards out there, terrible performance and does not support recording, it is a hd 6700 which was a budget card at best when it came out in 2014.
