@@BeersAndBeatsPDX Not even remotely. If I'm looking for a main light to use for live, I'm going to search for a key light. That's worse than saying naming a capture card hd60 that captures 60 fps a "manipulation" to steal a name.
when you highlighted "key light" as a product name that someone has stolen from elgato... a key light is a type of light on its own, not just the name of a product. in many productions like film and TV there's a key light, fill light, and back light. one to illuminate the subject, one to illuminate the space, and one to eliminate shadows. razor is not "stealing" from elgato by calling it a key light... because it's a key light
Improves the shot. Any doggo time is good doggo time. Hope he got some loves afterwards! I've been experimenting with flashback recording with Steelseries Moments. Very clunky and doesn't plug into my Stream Deck. Debating whether I should get one. Can you make the Avermedia work with Stream Deck buttons or is that limited to Elgato only? Had a quick flick through the plugin section on the Stream Deck Store and couldn't find any Avermedia plugins. Thanks, as always, for the video dude!
I have been using the AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra since it first came out. While it is "older" as Harris mentioned, it has been a fantastic capture device. I've had zero problems with it, and it can do 4K/60 with HDR passthrough no problem at all (my monitors can only do 60Hz).
i wish i could say the same. ive had mine for about a year now and ive started to have problems with my game audio and game video going out of sync after im done streaming on twitch. so im done go to watch it back and the first hour is ok then out of nowhere its out of sync and i dont know why. Im thinking of switching to the NZXT. i tried elgato but had other audio issues with it.
Idunno if its just me or does anyone else hear a super resonate frequency when watching Senpai videos? I always feel like I hear a lot of 150-250ish Hz but doesn't happen in other videos. Headphones and with speakers
I owned the Avermedia one (now have the Live Gamer 4K - GC573) the RECentral software seems to not be supported anymore (and it used to hit pretty hard on your ressources) I stongly prefer using it directly through OBS. That was my input on this subject
I have a 2160p Monitor G-Sync. Does this NZXT support that? Mine is 60hz. I'm not worried about recording it. Just need to know if it supports that monitor I have
Im a newbie content creator that strictly plays PC games only. I want to learn more, but i feel i lack some basics for now. What exactly does a capture card DO? For example through OBS I stream and record fine what purpose does a capture card fill? Is it only for capturing consoles or?
If you play PC games, then the only thing you would probably want is a Camlink, if you were using a DSLR, or Go Pro etc. Capture cards are mainly for consoles. Passthrough means that there is an additional HDMI port to the input, so you can get lower latency viewing of your console through a monitor (viewing the feed via OBS will add significant latency).
NZXT has made a microphone before, and considering both of them, I think NZXT’s goal is making this type of gear accessible from a technical standpoint to the average user. The fact that there is hardly any extra software to download means that all one needs to know in order to get it to work is how to add sources in OBS. That’s literally it. Major respect for that.
I've been trying to find a 1440P 144hz capable capture card, but I haven't found a suitable one. Either internal, but PCIE x4 which will I have heard will reduce the performance of my GPU on my stream PC, or a Thunderbolt 3 card which I has the same problem with an adaptor and my PC motherboard doesn't support... Any suggestions?
The feature discussed at 5:36 rec/central software sounds great! (RECentral, looked it up 😉) Being able to pin highlight markers seems like a very handy feature.
Amazing video dude thank you for the clarity ! Think im gonna go Elgato X just for my set up . I want to stream PS5 through OBS . Find the software very handy for not having to change sources and so on .
What we really need is a card with DP 1.4 passthrough, capable of the refresh rates that DP 1.4 is capable of, and/or a card with HDMI 2.1 passthough, capable of up to 4k120
Nice video! You said you are gonna use this as your travel card for fancy meetings. Isn't the elgato cam link 4k better for that, because its smaller? Or has the cam link 4k any disadvantage for online meetings? Greetings 🙂
hey man i just wanna say thnx for all the hard work and details you put in your videos. This video was very informative, i belive i have made up my mind on which one to buy. i wanna point something out if it's alright. I love the new room set-up i know its taken a little while to finsh it up, the echo in the room i just cant help but to notice it. while you speak its just there mabe its just me.(i dont mean to offend anyone its just my opinion) but agian thnx for all that you do and can't wait to see the coming videos !!
So to be clear, Capture Cards are only useful for multiple PC streaming/Recording setups right? Would this benefit some who only has 1 Computer that they stream/record/game on?
I have been using the same Elgato Capture Card since 2015 on a one PC setup for streaming. I used to stream off a MacBook Pro using BootCamp to get Windows 😂 I would plug my capture card into my Xbox One and hook it up to my MacBook so I could stream some console games. I'm still using the same capture card today to stream Nintendo Switch and PlayStation games. If you're looking to stream console games I definitely recommend picking up a capture card. Not a necessity of course, up to you.
Been watching too much linus tech tips. You said “we need to do two things today, first…” and I immediately thought “and second, we need to segue to our sponsor”
One major use I have for my capture card is listening to audio from my consoles through my PC. Is there any noticeable lag in the audio when doing that?
If you've configured that source in OBS to be monitored by a headset or speakers plugged into that PC (which is how I've done it), shouldn't be any noticable lag
No animal would ever ruin any video, it´s a nice integration, we are all living creatures and it adds some life to videos that are cut and made to perfection that it feels, unnatural and fake. Also Harris, you have made videos about SM7B and GOXLR and other stuff like Beacn, etc. But you have never showed us a combo with GOXLR and SM7B, I would love to see how you would EQ and set it up. I tried the one you made for the Blue Kiwin in your GOXLR video, but it doesn´t work for me, it sounds kinda thinny and boxy
I set up this capture card eith my PC and PS5 but when i switch my monitor to HDMI mode, i see nothing on screen. No PS5 home screen or anything. What can i do? 😢
this is literally the capture card ive been waiting for as a next gen console user, time to start saving. Thanks for keeping us all updated on everything!
If the NZXT HD60 has FreeSync passthrough, it’s easily the buy over the Elgato HD60X, since I would never want to capture 1440p60 anyways, since it wouldn’t look pixel perfect on most displays, and I have a 4k monitor. The only thing I would be worried about would be software support, since Elgato when they couldn’t make the HD60S compatible with M1, (which [the capture card] admittedly didn’t use UVC), offered to replace M1 users’ capture cards with HD60S+ models.
Doggo = better video. Doggo in ad reads = audience retention. Conclusion - doggos make life better. Period. More doggo (P.s. love the vids, very helpful)
I feel like it's getting harder and harder to get my hands on AverMedia stuff, at least here in California, and the NZXT stuff is just more readily available.
You said you were dropping an in depth tour of your streaming setup on your personal channel a week or so after the big studio reveal… that was 4 weeks ago
After lots of research and watching videos I ended up buying a Avermedia Liver Game Xtreme 2 and it never misses a beat and has better features that the Elgato. Sorry but so many people seem to have issues with the Elgato HD60+ so after reading about all the issues I decided on the Avermedia and haven't looked back. Not a single issue and has worked right out of the box from day one. It will be interesting to see how the Live Gamer Xtrem 2 stacks up against NZXT though.
Mmm will they work on Linux? The elgato one works with a reverse engineered driver (you have to start it before opening OBS) And the cam link works flawless on Linux according to eposvox
What capture card is currently in your setup? I want to see which one is the most popular right now 👀
Hd60s
يأرب أتوسل إليك بحق إسمك الأعضم أن ترزق صاحب أليد التي ستدعــمنـــي با متابعة ورزق لاينتهي وتوفيق لانهايه ♥️🕊️.
I use a generic 1080p 60fps HDMI Video Capture Card that I got for 15$ on amazon.
I use 2 elgato 4k pro one for pc stream second one for concoles
Obs lol
The dog adds 120% more engagement to every shot. It's like an MBKHD-level editing hack contained in a single furry entity.
OFCOUSE THE DOG IS MAKING IT BETTER. what a cutie
Thanks for the review! 🐶
give me a free pc
i lost mine when i went to the store can i get another
Hakuna Matata to you
Bruh look at these clowns asking for PC and other things lmaooo what do you expect will happen
@@ShawnFX joke
Puppers always make it better. Thanks for the clear and honest reporting as always.
Razer "Key Light" isn't stealing a naming scheme. It's a lighting position name. They're naming the suggested function.
Looked it up.
Key Light : the main source of light in a photograph or film
There is also Back Light and Fill Light.
Razer hair light next
It's a bit on the line. Naming it "key light" or clearly a way to manipulate searches and confuse people.

Do they support pass through when the computer is turned off?
Enjoyed the cameo appearance. Thanks for the video enjoyed the content.
That design is SLEEK. Hopefully elgato takes note. The HD60x was a step in the right direction but man, their stuff is usually so bulky
We need a capture card that does 4k60 HDR

I’m here a year later. The Nzxt hd60 is now $100 dollars on Amazon and the 4K30 is about $115 dollars on Amazon. So now it is 100% worth it
How did you get the nzxt hd60 to display 120 instead of 60?
Hey Team, just wanted to confirm are you guys using 18:9 aspect ratio for your videos? Please confim as it look really good on mobile phones.

So if I were to get the nzxt could I use a fancier webcam because ik xbox isn’t compatible with a lot of good cameras
The dog makes the shot so much better!

your barber took too much off the side ridge
The dog is definately making the shot better =P
I agree with him on the name of the capture card but why did you go back to the keylight ....elgato didn't come up with the key light.... lol
i just got an ad from “vocaster” is that any good? it seemed kind of interesting
You know by now people don't buy capture cards to use them, they buy them to look at their sexy design for therapeutic purposes.
the doggo is improving it massively
The doggo makes it better
does pass through mean from hdmi to usb? or hdmi to hdmi? im an idiot at this stuff
Can you do flashback recordings while being live ?
I think after my camera I will buy one after. Great video!
Thanks for the review. I think Avermedia is still a winner. And was nice to see the doggo in the video 😊
I like the dog in the background

EVGA XR1 Lite has been an absolute power house for us. This reminds me of it.
Can you do a side-by-side comparison of the HD60 X and the ASUS TUF Gaming Video Capture Card (CU4K30)? Thanks!
Does this capture cards beat the EVGA XR1 lite and EVGA XR1 Pro.
2:39 You have lost my attention but gained my retention.
what would be better, this card or an internal v.c card?
The doggo makes it even better
also Neko is def making the video better. and these capture cards look sick! I do agree with others that a 4k60 would have been nice!
Harris move out the way you're blocking the shot of your dog 😜
Doggo always makes it better
Let's forget about the video for a second, the doggo wants out XD
Harris, I would watch that dog. He's gunning for your job, and by the comments, he's winning.

EVGA XR1 and XR1 Lite would be an interesting comparison as they’re $99 and $59 respectively.
It has already been commented but I’m here to comment that the dog in shot was a huge bonus. Dog content for the win.
Doggo always makes things better!
Can you go into detail on how to use this for a fancy camera as a webcam? Also doggo 100% makes it better!

Where's the in depth Arctis Nova Pro review at??
Great presentation of the new products from NZXT
Pup always makes things better LOL.
Should I buy a capture card? And what one would you recommend?
The elgato hd60s works as a webcam just like the NZXT one. Didn't wanna buy the little elgato plug and it works amazingly.
He’s always making the shot better! :)
great presentation and appreciate your honest opinion about the products!
Might have to pick one of these up to see if they work well with Linux
3:50 good boi.
do you have a video to setup razer mouse to change scenes in obs ?
Not in the market for a capture card yet but maybe soon.
According the the NZXT site, the 4K30 has ultrawide support. Would love to see that tested!
Any chance of a review on the streamplify webcam fhd 60fps (black) thankyou
The dog is not ruining it. If you think he is, you're wrong.
does the hd60x do 144hz passthrough?
The pup makes it all better.
I don't think elgato came up with the phrase "key light" harris
That’s what I’m thinking 😂. If Razer called it anything else, it would just be a cringy unnecessary brand name.
The dog definitely made the video better.
