Im probably gonna buy the 5$-20$ one (+HDMI splitter) but in not sure about a couple things: 1. Do i have to buy the cables separately? (I already have an HDMI one) 2. Do the HDMI cables have to go splitter -> tv/console and the USB splitter -> capture card -> pc? 3. Does It show the console gameplay on the pc or is it the opposite? (Kind of a stupid question but still important to know) 4. Does It work with my Xbox One?

I wanted to take a moment and just really say how much I appreciate your videos. I’m new to the creating side of twitch and spent the past 4 days buying, replacing, and learning equipment, figuring out studios, and just overall a better understanding of things. When I tell you, finding your channel when I did, was such a blessing. Literally every single problem I ran into throughout this whole process, you had a video for and I’m happy to say I finally got everything working properly. Keep doing what you’re doing and Thank you again!

I’ve been recording through twitch on xbox for about a year and I’ve found it extremely frustrating. Only records in 720p but the video always glitches and the audio is always disappearing for no reason. I mostly twitch for recording gameplay with me and 4 friends, but even by myself it always finds a way to mess up. I don’t really recommend twitch, but it’s free so it’s better than nothing.

[@isthisagoodyoutubehandle]

I just can't give Elgato a single cent after my HD60S became a literal paperweight just because I upgraded my motherboard. Due to hardware oversights and bad firmware (that they still haven't updated, btw) the thing is basically incompatible with most motherboards that came out a year or more after the HD60S's release. The cause? They didn't bother to futureproof it for USB 3.1 ...despite usb 3.1 literally being out and used in consumer products at the time of the HD60S's development. Once motherboards released with only USB 3.1 and above and a couple 2.0 ports, it was game over. I made it work with a PCIe USB 3.0 expansion card for a while, but at some point, windows 10 must have updated the 3.0 drivers to be compatible with some 3.1 devices. The Elgato firmware is so dumb that it'll just automatically tell windows to use the 3.1 protocols that it doesn't support. If you rollback your drivers, the elgato USB handler will automatically update them again and un-fix the issue. It's almost designed NOT to work. It's been 3+ years since they acknowledged the issue and they still haven't done anything to fix the issue. they haven't even updated the firmware updater to check the USB connection before updating so you don't brick your device. They just put a warning on the download page for it.

My gaming headset I use is a Astro A40 with a Mix Amp plugged in through optical out cable, but I also have a Blue Yeti USB microphone available for my laptop.

The chat audio on PS5 goes with the game audio, you won't have one and not the other. You can go with the cheapest option, just keep in mind you'll need to pass all your audio over hdmi, meaning you'll need to listen to all the game audio from the computer and not directly from the console.

You don't need a 4k monitor to record in 4k, but you need a beefy gpu to even get close to 4k60fps. Check your gpu to see if it's capable of running 4k60, and if it is, have enough ram to run OBS and the game at the same time

Great video!

[@randyvo7743]

awesome video was gonna watch other ppl doing similar video to compare before deciding on the evga xr1 pro

[@chedskiii]

For the EVGA card, will my party chat hear me if my headset is connected into the line in port?

[@NoKappp]

so the hd60x can work for mac, but it just doesn’t allow the 4k features correct?

[@MidnightMan]

The 4K utility tool does not work (can't use CHAT LINK cable) on mac, you can record in 4K using OBS on mac though.

i was curious why the mira generic capture card wasnt mentioned, it usually replaces the the basic single hdmi capture device because the mira doesnt need a splitter and when you look at the cost of the $16 capture + $16 splitter you end up within the same price range of the mira

[@MidnightMan]

that's a good card for sure, and it's more practical for gamers. There are so many capture cards out there I couldn't include them all, but maybe I can test it out for it's own video. We shall see.

[@Zero-is-infinite]

@@MidnightMan thanks for the reply, im going the mira route, this hd60 aint cuttin anymore

[@MidnightMan]

Oh yeah for sure!

[@Zero-is-infinite]

@@MidnightMan mirabox was just dropped off, its as plug and play as the hd60 was when i got it. very grateful for the 3rd party options.

Question,does getting a capture card help with upload speed? Like does it use less data usage

[@MidnightMan]

That has no effect on data usage

[@notSW1F7]

Do we have to have the chat link in order to start streaming? Thanks

[@MidnightMan]

It’s not necessary, you can pull audio over hdmi

[@notSW1F7]

@@MidnightMan what is the purpose of a chat link if I may ask?

[@notSW1F7]

@MidnightMan and also I want to stream on xbox series s with 4k60 so should I get one of these and what else will I need to start streaming? Thanks for replying your content is so helpful 👌

[@MidnightMan]

Chat link is for pulling audio out of your controller, allowing you to hear that audio and also for your mic on headset to be heard by your teammates

[@MidnightMan]

You can play in 4k60 with any of these capture cards

[@Sharkbait556]

do I need a minimum of 120 fps for the cards to work properly
