HDMI 2.1 CAPTURE CARDS - Here's What You Need to Know!

240hz passthru would be nice

Considering I'm having issues with my Elgato 4k60 Pro Mk2 (and customer support just not being able to do anything but suggest the same three fixes) I think it's time I start looking at the alternatives out there.

How old is this video?

Ok so maybe you guys can help me, I have a 4k/165Hz monitor and i want to play my PS5 on my PC at 4k/120hz in a smaller window, is this possible? And what would i need?

Whoh. You mentioned that Twitch supports 120fps, if you stream 120fps, and select source. It is 120 fps. Glorious smooth. Bitrate is a bit limiting (AV1 could maybe help), but it does work. Thanks for mentioning that.

On ASUS website it says that is supports VRR. Still cannot buy it anywhere from my quick searches. The lack of 4K 120/144Hz capture, is just milking users, so they can provide a new product next year or so. It would maybe add extra 10$ to the price. There are chips that can do it, just not for cheap stuff yet.

Hopefully they’ll be able to pass through DSC to allow 4k@240hz with 4k60 or better yet 4k120 HDR capture.

Asus: Gives me a 360hz 1440p Monitor... and brings a Capture Card like THAT....!? - Theyre trolling right?

going to move back to 2 PC stream with this release. I like having my UW 1440p but having to cap my frames to 60fps because OBS's GPU usage shoots up is no good :(

I must have the 4k 120hz !

I want to see display port capture cards for PC capture I'm not into consoles at all I hate controllers been on kbm since Wolfenstein 3D I will never change lol

Just t bought the maxsquare hdmi 2. 1 4k 120 hz 4k60 4k2k...amazing...its the leader right now for sure in capturw

Is there any ultra wide capture card ?

4K120 capture (cough) Atomos Ninja Ultra (cough)

I'm curious why HDMI 2.1 is so expensive that it took companies 3 years to give us something we should have already had not to mention that a lot of TV manufacturers have downgraded their HDMI 2.1 ports from 4 & 5 to 2 & 3 ports due to cost. Fortunately I bought my OLED's before the downgrades so I have the full hdmi ports.

could I technically use one of these cards with internal processing to record high quality Clean HDMI out form my iPhone?

That Yuan pcie capture card is an eye watering $1400 on B&H's website

I want 360hz 1080p passthrough

How is it with an ultrawide? I have the lg with 1440p 240hz hdr10.
Will I be able to pass it through in an dual pc setup?

Live gamer ultra 2.1, pre orders are live! $299 w/ a preorder discount $275… delivers next month, Mac support Dec 23’! Let’s go!!!

Any thoughts on which you'd recommend to try pre-ordering first?
Thus far both units seem to offer the same specs and features I'd need. I do however prefer ASUS' chassis and lower profile RGB light.
Probably doesn't mean much, but having the OBS certification might appeal to some as well.

Ultimately, which one would we predict to be more reliable and which has better customer service?

Hello I am korean.
Waited too long for this product to come out
How much do you expect this product to cost?
I hope it doesn't go over $399. ㅠ _ ㅠ

Yo my videos are trash 🗑im running ps5 through lg c2 42 inch elgayo 60s plus. Upgrading to the lg c2 killed my audio the picture is blown out.

Ohh yeah, black bars left and right. What I love to see that.

I’ve had both Avermedia and Elgato. Kind of curious to see if Elgato has something coming. They’ve been very quiet on cards for hdmi 2.1 and all

Kinda want companies to focus on reducing latency for recording for the sake of audio sync.

Personally i don't care too much for 4K120 capture cause I don't believe most content creators are recording or streaming 120fps anyway. But i have been BEGGING Elgato for 4K120 passthrough 1080p capture HDR capture cards for YEARS since the new consoles were even announced in the first place. The HD60 X was such a disappointment cause what's the point of VRR if you're not actually using your console to it's full potential.

Maybe they're planning to launch 8K 60FPS recorder that is able to record 8K 60FPS & 4K 120FPS both at once. Maybe promoting a higher resolution recorder sells better than just a higher frame rate recorder. And since 8K is still kind of new on the market it feels too early for them to launch it now, especially that there are no or only few video games that support 8K resolution. Also 8K TV's are still expensive and the majority of people recently bought a 4K TV. No one thinks of buying and upgrading his TV to 8K resolution since there is no much content to watch in 8K! I hope Elgato does not follow AverMedia's footsteps. As launching a new HDMI 2.1 capture card that only passes through 4K at 120 FPS without actually recording it is worthless.

1440p-240hz live gamer ultra
Predator XB273UGX is there any way to clone or something? And will downgrading from DP to hdmi destroy performance?

I think the reason why they want to keep with last gen framerates is to purely cater to as many people as possible with slower PCIe lanes.
Motherboards haven't been easy to get during the pandemic, at RRP prices. So the lack of 4k120hz/144hz capture as with the cost of it, might be reflecting this.

Any word on Launch dates?

I was thinking of getting one of these just to test it out. Any word on release dates? Does anyone support streaming in such high rates yet? HLS in h.265 or AV1? Prices seem cheap compared to "pro" stuff.

looking forward to the avermedia one

Yo bro, i'm new for recording a gameplay on pc, my friend told me u must record with dual pc for smooth and better look, can u tell me minimum cpu and gpu to record a gameplay with no lag using evgax1r? And can ddr3 pc with 2cores and 2 thread capture 4k60fps with gtx 1650,i think 1650 supports enough 4k60 fps for capturing only? His 1650 just free for me and i can use it, can i blend a dual core cpu and 1650 to record 4k60fps with evga x1?

I hope for better products soon, once the first products come to the market, competitors will want to release something better... soon(tm)

It's not cost prohibitive. They need a future product improvement to sell. So, what we get as consumers are incremental updates that we get to pay full price over and over. Once they come out with 120/144 capture cards there's not much more to go for beyond that besides support of future formats like HDR spec updates etc and they'll have to compete on the software side.

Does the HDMI 2.1 pass through still work at full refresh rate, though?
There are 300 Hz displays with HDMI 2.1 like the Acer Nitro XV2 XV272UKFbmiipruzx, would it be possible to play at the full 1440p 300 Hz and capture at 1440p 120? Or is the pass through somehow limiting the refresh rate of the display?

Why would'nt you just run NDi accelerated by Nvidia GPU to capture 4K 120 FPS with Audio? Honest question....

1440p 240hz should be standart like u can get monitor for 300 bucks 240hz at 1440p no inovation at all just use obs ndi

So given that the yuan card you are talking about that does 4K 120 is $1400. i know someone that special ordered one. I think them saying it being prohibitively expensive isn't a lie

I have the Live Gamer ULTRA - GC553, is there an usb upgrade worth it right now?

Dont buy Asus capture cards! Its a crap! Its cant recognize even the HDMI audio properly! Buy Elgato, Magwell etc, but not Asus! Be aware! I have Asus CU4k30 and it cant detect audio device in Windows 10 or 11 ! So I had to connect audio only via analog audio port (with gamepad icon). Elgato HD60X has no issues at all - get it, but not Asus!

Really disappointing, honestly, no 4K120

I'm waiting for reviews. But I'm pumped we're finally getting HDMI 2.1 capture cards. It feels like it just took forever.

what do you think about ipados supporting uvc cameras such as the cam link4k

These would really go great with a version of that displayport -> displayport + hdmi device that passes through VRR. T_T

Will these upscale vhs?

I actually would say the limitation maby could be comeing from the broadcast sector keeping prices high on such chips/protecting their investment, also encoding 120fps would be quite hot (remember most company's struggle with 4k multiple encoder chips with out a rack unit/being cheep, passthrough is easier), when bmd can do it the walls should fall tho but waiting you shall because of such reasons 🤔, I want HDMI 2.1 on a bmd device not just for this reason but also because someone will have to convince Dolby to do more vision tunneling, their are multiple people blocking this & possibly patent protections in place too, consumers are not the priority at the current time clearly 🤔

unfortunately hdmi is an awful format and i wish we could all move away toward something like sdi. the fact that a media format standard for monitors and tvs is still used in any acquisition blows my mind.
