Correction/typo in the Specs section: YUY2 is 4:2:2. ><

$120 for only 1080p60. The EVGA XR1 lite was selling for $40 lol. Who is this marketed towards?

[jsCP]

Would you consider doing a capture card roundup, where you basically summarize the most recent offerings in the capture card market and make recommendations?

[moretoknowshow]

This is a great product that just works, its not reinventing the wheel and its solid for us console gamers who don't want to overthink it.

Wow. Actually a decent entry level capture card for someone testing the waters of streaming/recording.

[Korosivv]

Pay like $15 more right now and you can get the Avermedia Live Gamer Extreme 3, allowing for VRR, 4K30 recording with 4K60 passthrough and 1440p60 capture. It's worth paying a little extra to get so much more.

I would like more budget capture cards on the market. For now the only thing available is the Genki Shadowcast, and that has significant delay. No HDMI passthrough. It makes playing faster games and rhythm games very unfun.

I want a budget card with passthrough so I can play with no delay, while streaming it to my friends so they can watch/know what I'm doing.

2:00 Definitely not Epos playing Crash 3 with the D-pad instead of the sticks!

[destructodisk]

When is someone going to make a portable capture card that records to SD card or USB drive? LiveGamer Portable 2 is ancient now and because of that, its capture doesn't meet the quality standards of 1080p capture one would expect.

[koppo]

does the capture card capture xbox party chat audio/microphone audio?

[N_w]

i think i notice a slight delay in both video and audio using obs, and i think the audio delay is slightly longer, but its still not that noticeable and is still playable. 8/10 capture card.

[Elazam]

Just bought this on a sale, I think that people lile me is definitely part of the audience. I want to record for videos, not necessarily stream, and mostly for console gaming. I will probably render videos in 1080p 25 anyway, so probably won't need that advanced features even if I get that it's good to have. (Though I will mostly do PS4 and switch gaming anyway, so yeah)

[MarioLuigi]

I tried using a Neo but had issues with it causes occasional audio microstutters. Returning it and hoping the HD60 X doesn’t have the same issues.

[rhoderzau]

It'd be great to see a round up of all of the sub-50 USD capture cards and what their latency to OBS Preview is like. I wish there was info on why something like a Sunshine/Moonlight combo is so much faster latency-wise

[animeblade]

You threw a lot of numbers and specs I don't understand lol

I'm looking to just capture some replay footage from Smash Bros to upload on here. Is this good enough for that? Or is there a better and cheaper option? I don't know what to buy really

[N_w]

at 60 fps i noticed a 4 frame delay with the audio (thats 67ms of latency and thats close to the latency of this capture card) so i set the audio offset in obs to -69ms (bc thats the latency of this capture card) and now its good

[outlawkings]

Unfortunately Elgato HD 60X also doesn’t support Steam Deck’s native 1280x800..((

[Zninja]

I love how you edit your videos. Do you edit them? or you get others to do them?

[JakTheDon_]

So 1080p/120hz does actually work on the Elgato Neo although marketed to only output 60hz? Interesting

[mr.eggiplier]

Would it be able to capture the in game voice chat
