Top 10 Game Capture Cards Of 2018

The capture card market isn't a particularly flashy segment when it comes to consumer tech. Unlike the HD60, the HD60 S streams with almost no lag. 264 encoding - As we have already established, H.264 represents the best compression technology currently available, allowing you to capture high-quality video while saving space. I'd still choose the HDMI out plugged into another TV or monitor over Instant Gameview, but it's there if you're in a pinch.

The Game Capture HD software is straightforward and easy to use. The included Elgato Game Capture HD recording software allows easy recording, streaming, and commentary. BUILT-IN LIVE STREAMING TO TWITCH, YOUTUBE & MORE The HD60 S gives you the edge so you can polish your production, stand out from the competition and your spectators will notice.

Hence, streaming gaming footage is very satisfying experience compare to other capture cards. These days, capturing, sharing, and streaming what you're playing is much easier- in some instances, built into gaming ecosystems and accessible with the push of a button.

With the HD60 S this can all be done in real time if streaming or for Let's Play type video's can store the files locally to be edited in either the included software or in your video editor of choice then uploaded to your platform of choice. The latest USB 3.0 interface enables minimized latency for the recording or streaming, and the Type-C port is small and reversible, making for easy insertion.

BTW, something I forgot to mention in the Ripsaw review also, the way I measured (using loopback), even if there is next-to-zero latency i.e. I use the recording software to elgato software not working measure the screen, I will still get 1 frame of latency, simply because you can't record a screen before its contents appear, and then you can only update the result on the next refresh.

A capable game capture device that's overkill for casual users, but a very good option for anyone who wants the best quality stream possible. The HD60 works very efficiently, even also at high motion sequences in compare to other capture cards performance. This is the Elgato HD60 - no 'S this time.

Connect the device to the PC using the included USB-C to USB cable and then use the HDMI cable provided in the box to connect the OUT port to your TV or main monitor. Granted, Pyle's capture card is even cheaper, but its lack of HD recording capability leaves it hopelessly outclassed, especially since its price tag is not low enough to make up for this shortcoming.
