One of the best capture cards will help you stream or record your gameplay at the highest possible quality. Here are the capture devices we recommend in 2023.
You need the best capture card if you want to record or stream your gameplay with the best quality possible. Our top pick for 2023 is Elgato's HD60 X due to its excellent value, high peak resolution and frame rate, and relatively slim package. But there are a half-dozen other great options on the market as well.
The big difference comes in the passthrough, though. You can passthrough HDR and your full resolution and frame rate, up to 4K60. The HD60 X also supports variable refresh rate . Both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 support VRR now, and the HD60 X allows you to take advantage of it for tear-free gaming while you play.
To keep all of your cables tidy, the card includes a headphone and controller port on the front, so you can easily plug everything in without cords reaching to your console or PC. The capture card connects to your streaming computer with a single USB-C cable, too, which works out of the box. You don't need to download drivers to start using the card.
The one major downside of the AverMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus is that its proprietary software only works with Windows. The company offers an"express" version in beta for Macs, but you'll likely need third-party software like OBS and XSplit . The AverMedia Live Gamer Mini also comes with chroma key support and the audio mixer, though it lacks live editing and the performance optimizations featured in the full Windows version.
Thankfully, the Elgato 4K60 Pro is worth the hassle. It includes the same excellent features seen on the HD60 S, including Flashback Recording, as well as passthrough at up to 1080p240 or 1440p144. Elgato Game Capture 4K60 S+ The best capture card for PlayStation 5 More AverMedia Live Gamer Duo The best PCIe capture card Pros Cons All of the capture cards above only come with a single input and a single output, so you can only ever stream or record a single source at once. The AverMedia Live Gamer Duo, on the other hand, allows you to record two sources at the same time. Even better, you can record or stream a full 1080p signal at 60 fps from both sources.
AverMedia Live Gamer Duo The best PCIe capture card More EVGA XR1 Lite The best cheap capture card Pros Cons EVGA's original XR1 was a good, but not great, capture card. It was a little too expensive, but the XR1 Lite fixes that. It's only $100, and it supports a full 1080p resolution at 60 fps, either streaming or recording. Even better, it includes a 4K60 passthrough so you can play your Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 games at the full resolution and frame rate.
Over the wire, it can record up to 4K at 60 fps with HDR, as well as 1440p at up to 144 fps and 1080p at up to 240 fps. Those resolutions and frame rates are usually only possible with a PCIe capture card. Then, there's usually a USB cable that connects that capture card to your PC. Once everything is hooked up and powered on, you can add the capture card as an input device in streaming/capturing software, such as OBS Studio.

Fantasy Football: Two stars to fade (and one trend to buy in on) in 2023In the same way we start thinking of what could've been at the end of every year, so too do fantasy football managers think about what could've been with their seasons. I know personally, I haven't stopped thinking about what could've been if I had drafted one of the eventual top-scoring quarterbacks as opposed to the likes of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. And because I didn't have the results I wanted from either of those two signal-callers, I will likely be fading them in my 2023 drafts.
