For example, the Cheap Generic USB Capture Cards , Genki Shadowcast , and the Atomos Connect, to name a few . For those looking to capture 480p signals (whether that be native or upscaled), the XR1 Lite has you covered. While the end results are indistinguishable, there are some very minor differences in the OBS stats. The higher bitrate does require more system resources with all cases increasing their CPU usage by around 10%.

The EVGA XR1 lite capture card allows you to capture every epic gameplay moment - Record at 1080p/60fps while you game at 4K/60fps.

When the control dial is rocked to the left and right, it allows the volume of your microphone and Console Party Link to be adjusted respectively with a subsequent twist of the dial. There isn’t any finagling to do with the audio, though you can adjust the feed if you’re monitoring it on the card itself using the center dial. For those who want to use the card’s output to pass through to a secondary TV or monitor, you will need to purchase a separate HDMI cable, if you do not already have one. It can't match the true titans of the space, like the AVerMedia Live Gamer Bolt, but for streamers especially, it's very good. This signal can then be encoded on the fly for a livestream, recorded for preservation, or both simultaneously.In the end, most PC streamers who aren't using two PC setups are running OBS or their platform of choice and capturing their video right there.

The entire point of me upgrading to this card was for smoother and crisper visuals as well as being able to play games straight off my PC.Windows Central is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. While it's attractive to look at, I really wish the XR1 Pro was a bit smaller to fit better on my cluttered desk.
