For future reference when addressing usb 3.x connectivity: USB 3.0 = USB 3.1 = USB 3.2 = 5Gbps USB 3.1 gen 2 = USB 3.2 gen 2 = 10Gbps USB 3.2 gen 2x2 = 20gbps Looks and sounds stupid, but thats the way the USB foundation has their name scheme set up. Tl;Dr USB 3.2 means 5gbps transfer speeds.
I'm aware, I'm just clarifying for the audience :P Usually 3.2 isn't specified on devices unless it's using one of the higher spec modes so it can be confusing for some
@@EposVox Don't you think, There should also be a tight law/act/ammendment made for standardization of electronics whether they are universal & proprietary product ?? Where these tech conglomerates like Dell & HP have to fight to approve their patent is better & also why they're making something different than already established standard ? Eg. Look at laptops, we have "Fully Soldered RAM" vs "1 Soldered RAM + 1 Slot" vs "2 slots"..... IMO, even 2 slots of crappy RAM is way better.
Sir, may I know what is the pass through resolution means? Currently I m using GC311(Only support 60hz for both pass through and capture) to do the mobile (android-asus rog 3) game streaming. And whenever I stream or record through the capture card, it cause my phone refresh rate drop from 144hz to 60hz and the touch latency as well. Therefore, is that means if we use this capture card which have high pass through and capture resolution, my phone can play at normal condition which is 144hz without touch latency drop? Looking forward for your reply soon. Your help is greatly appreciated...
Today (thanks to you) I bought this capture card. It was the best one avaible on my region and there isn't too much info or deep review for it. God bless you. :) I will make my own little comment on here, comment, when it comes tomorrow (i hope). :) Also thank you very much for clearing USB thingy, i have a modern computer with USB 3.1(blue ones) i was afraid it won't support this, but then i learned they are all the same hehe.
Could you possibly test it capturing footage from an M1 iPad Pro. I’ve had issues with the M1 iPad when using my Elgato hd60s and the dev team there has no idea why and they have still to get back to me.
I don’t have the M1 iPad, only the 2020 one. I doubt the software is there for that kind of capture yet, especially since previous models couldn’t power such devices
@@EposVox put the powering of the device is via usb so why not plug usb into the computer for power and connect to iPad via a hdmi to usb c adapter? Same thing with the Elgato.
@@EposVox haha all good man! Thanks so much. The Elgato works fine for my 2020 iPad but for some reason it drops signal for the M1 iPad pro I also have. I contacted Elgato and they were like 🤷🏻♂️ and said they sent my info the devs. Maybe some weird compatibility with the M1? Regardless, I wanted to see if the asus one works well too. In terms of the adapter, I’m using the uni hdmi to usb c. Works perfect
OK HERE IS the major problem i have been trying to figure out CLEARLY. .... If you use this with an XBOX, plug your headset in , IS IT GOING TO SEND YOUR AUDIO TO YOUR PC, (YOUR VOICE) ? OR CAN YOU ACTUALLY USE an external MIC???????????? OR are you stuck using headset mic?????????? so confused............ I get there is an app.... but if you lower your mic volume all the way to 0 , is your party still gonna hear you, or is that just to send to pc??????????
The app only controls the mix on your pc side. The mic is still sent through the passthrough port to your controller and back to console to be adjusted there
@@EposVox so you wont get double audio of your voice into stream? and wow dude, thanks, you must be at pc 24/7 to possibly respond to comments and get vids out. ..... yeah was worried that capture card would capture my voice, and i couldnt use an external mic . there is almost no info on this card out there . .. So how is it going to only capture my friends party chat coming into headset but not my outgoing voice? thanks man
I was wondering if you could review the Acasis 4K60 PCIe capture card. It seems very similar to the avermedia live gamer 4K (pcie version), but I’ve barely seen any reviews for it, and is slightly cheaper than the avermedia card.
Hey man, Are there any system requirements in order to use this capture card? Great video, love the emphasis in video and comments to PS5 questions. Good info is hard to find, appreciate the work
I like this as a budget option, pretty good on ASUS & nice video Adam. But not gonna lie, i'm still disappointed we don't have a capture card that does 1440p240hz passthrough with 1440p120hz recording. What would it take for a Capture Card to do that other than HDMI 2.1 and USB 3.2 Gen2x2? it's August 2021 and we still don't have this on the market... PD: We also don't have a DP Repeater + HDMI Splitter capable of that *WITH* ADAPTIVE SYNC but that is another issue entirely.
I have an Xbox series x. does this Asus capture card let me play my games at 1440p 120 frames but still stream at 1080p 60 at the same time?. I asked this because whenever I plug in the elgato I can never play my games at 1440p 120 frames because it locks the console's resolution by default the 1080p 60.
really disappointed it has issues with the M1 mac, because i'm going to be using an M1 macbook air to record all my consoles/PC's. Would you recommend the live gamer ultra instead? could you verify if it does work with the M1?
Man it seems to have some really good specs. Just SUCKS It didn’t work with your Mac mini! 😭 What would be your recommendation for the BEST console streaming (XBSX) capture card WITH the M1 Mac mini?!? 👀 🤔 I kno you mainly do setups for pc but think it would be 🔥🔥🔥 if you did a a live streaming setup for console with M1 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼
Great video! I am having one problem though. I have a PS5 and have everything hooked up right, however; I am running the audio through the Elgato Wave Link software and im getting really bad static/reverb audio using the HDMI audio. When I have OBS opening I kind of jerry rigged a solution with monitoring and outputting the audio, but I’d rather use the audio routing of the Elgato wave link software so I can control the volume of what I hear and what stream hears. Is their any suggestions of what could be happening?
Good day! Thanks for the review! Is there any noise in the sound when you output it to the computer via an HDMI controller? I have it, it only helps to turn on noise reduction in OBS (and even then, not always), which, in principle, slightly spoils the overall sound quality. It manifests itself especially strongly if you listen through a PC, where sound is output from the card, at high volume.
hi,nice great reviews also thanks for the latency test. May I know how do you test for the latency ? Thanks for the great work. i have subbed! :D EDIT: nevermind found your march 2021 video! nice! thanks
PS5 VRR support? ideally take 1080p 48-120hz VRR HDR10 and passthrough without spoiling them but also capture 1080p60hz... asking too much? noo that would having a displayport 1.4a for gsync passthrough.
Nice review EposVox! I'm about to get me a new powerful PC and I want to start capture/streaming. Would this card be good if I want to capture/stream from game consoles like Atari 2600 to the modern consoles of today? I would also like to capture from older computers. Would this work if I have a framemeister/OSSC/RetroTINK -5X Pro in the chain? I'm completely new to capturing/streaming but would my idea works practically or do I need more stuff? Thanks for your channel, you´re awesome!
Yep! I discuss retro stuff towards the end of the review (timecoded) it's decent with the RetroTINK and OSSC. Obviously won't work trying to connect stuff native w/o analog ports, but with scalers works pretty well. Can't speak to older computer signals, those get pretty wild and support can be very hit or miss overall
EposVox, I just want to play on my PS5, stream from my gaming laptop, and capture my usb headset mic, along with my game&party chat team mates, along with a seperate usb mic(elgato wave3) for commentary, currently using a hd60s, even with a chat link pro, capturing the audio, at proper audio levels is a nightmare, which capture device would you recommend for this issue? This Asus tuff, the evga xr1 pro, or something else entirely? I know your extremely busy, let me thank you in advance for your time! And great tutorial reviews!
You know what’s great about these videos. Nobody shows how to set it up. Not everyone is Tony stark some need walkthroughs when everything is connected correctly but no picture
Huge thanks for this video! I have the Elgato HD60 S+ but now that Im using the PS5 with my PC to streaming on twitch I cant stream 120fps. So, if u can tell me your opinion: Mostly for 120fps and sometime 4k60, to play and streaming on twitch, go for AverMedia Live Gamer Ultra (GC553) or Asust TUF CU4k30? Thanks again!
Hi bro! Please help me . I bought asus cu4k30. Playing with my pc and streaming on my laptop. I dot have any ingame sound from my gaming pc. Please help me sir . Badly need your help
USB4 can't come soon enough it's pretty much Live Gamer Ultra, and as you said GC553 is 4 years old The only advantage of Asus device for me is that it looks like it doesn't have a fan I wish Live Gamer Bolt was cheaper, more available and well at this point the problem is thunderbolt but that's another thing
In the HD60X Review, you mentioned VRR Support, and since it is absent from this one, it is safe to assume it lacks it. My question is, when using this capture card, the TUF, do I need to turn off VRR on my PS5 in order to be able to use the passthrough / capture? Would I be able to keep VRR on, and capture on the TUF if I instead use a splitter rather than passthrough?
I record my gameplays for fun nothing serious but I'm interested in capture cards and I couldn't find any that does display port passthrough. My screen is 1440p 144hz on DP, so I was wondering why isn't there any DP capture card. Is HDMI 2 better? Also, Epos, what would you do with this card to capture the video and still using an existing USB mic that has a 0lag integrated jack. Would the software of this Asus recognize it as an entry and most important is it possible to record the gameplay+game audio separately from the mic (I mean 2 audio tracks)?
Could this capture card be utilized in a pass through configuration, for a single pc streaming setup, and utilizing the usb output in order to bypass hooking and display/game capturing issues? Let’s say I wanted to use the NVENC encoder to process the image provided from the USB output in order to reduce the load on my GPU, and bypass issues (stuttering, hitching, 99% GPU load, etc.) when using game or display capture on a single pc setup. Is this a feasible option with this capture card?
Capture cards don’t really benefit single PC setups in that way. Performance issues are caused by running OBS at all on the gaming PC more so than the actual hook in most cases. MW2019/Warzone is one of the only games that have actual hook issues and that should have been mostly fixed w/recent OBS updates. You could *try* it for the scenario you’re describing but based on my testing it will not fix anything and now adds extra load via the USB round trip and decoding the capture card feed on top of everything else
Liked and subbed regardless. But question if you have the time, I just purchased this and am waiting for delivery but I feel sorta confused on something audio related. I'm on PS5 and currently using the Elgato HD60s. I'm using analog audio by running the chat link (not from Elgato cause that product is trash so I built one from better cables) I see this has a port for my controller and one for headphones. Am I just going to use the controller port? I feel like if I plug in my headphones jack I'll get double audio on stream. What would be the correct setup? On stream labs if that makes a difference. Thank you!
It mixes your mic and the party chat into one output (you plug the included 3.5 into your controller & controller input and your headset cable into the headset input)
@@TripleeVFX I was trying to play Killzone Shadow Fall on PS5 through the CU4K30 and found that only some of the audio was being passed through to the card through HDMI. Turns out plugging in the dualsense controller audio output through the ASUS' controller 3.5mm port partially fixed that (all audio / voices from the game now being passed through). Unfortunately, the game audio is way out of sync in OBS - almost 7 seconds behind - and has momentary drop outs/muting. Incredibly frustrating.
@@TripleeVFX Xbox is actually a bit more "open" with their audio by allowing simultaneous audio output to both a headset and over HDMI to your TV, so I don't think I'll have these same issues there. Seems to be a problem just on PS5 but I'll know more as I continue testing. (Thanks for your reply!)
The HD60 S+ doesn't support chat inputs, 1440p at all, capturing above 1080p (it passes through 4K but only captures 1080p), nor passing through/capturing anything above 60hz - so if those things matter to you, yes!
Interesting. But of course, it has to have a wort somewhere... I swear that that it seems like there's alway some imperfection with all the products, from all the companies. Maybe this wort can be fixed with a firmware update. You might want to check periodically for the 1440p YUY2 working correctly, or whenever there's a firmware update (if you can detect it happening).
I just bought this card. when in the sound settings on my ps5 I choose dolby. strong noises appear in the obs application. Is there a solution to this problem?
So this capture card does not work with an M1 Mac Mini? Thats what I use currently with my Elgato HD60 S+ capture card. I’m looking for a card that supports 1080p/120fps capture with zero latency.
Hi, i have troubles with the audio with this capture card. When i choose the capture audio (cu4k30 uac audio) in the properties for the video capture, there is nothing in the audio mixer (setting monitor and output). As a result i have no sound in the recordings. When i choose „output desktop audio direct sound“ for the audio output mode, the video canvas becomes black. Am i missing something?
I can't fine the answer to this problem anywhere... I am getting audio de-sync when trying to use this card in OBS. Whether its set to custom resolution or default. Match output fps or highest fps... also tried 60. Over time the audio will slowly de-sync up the the point where it is several seconds behind the game on the xbox. This is the PC version of obs latest and 2560X1440
Does anyone know if this would work well on a 2020 Imac running windows bootcamp? I game on my Imac and Ive been pulling my hair out trying to find a good 1440p capture card.
i see genki is very slow in obs, but ive been using genki to play ps5 on my macbook through their dedicated app and this is fast enough for me to play competetive tekken 7 online even, but does asus or any third party have a dedicated video feed app for this asus card like genki's arcade app? solely dedicated to low latency gameplay on a laptop on the go etc. as fast as the genki is in their own app, the resolution is not very exciting
any reason to buy the avermedia bolt (thunderbolt 3) over this TUF? do you think that the TUF fanless design makes up for anything the bolt might be better? As latency seems to be similar between them. thx
can this audio/video capture device finally record one's webcam audio/video, while giving lectures via Zoom or MS Teams or Google Meet, using OBS but without using NDI ?
Am I able to plug in the Controller output to my PC, Headset outlet to my headset and set OBS to capture audio. Would still have my stream pick up game/voice audio and still be able to have my mic work for discord on PC?
Can some one explain this to me … I’m thinking of buying this or elgato hdo60 x. I dont want any problems playing in 1440p 144hz out to 1440p 60z are these possible on both ?
Please help me bro. Why cant play with my 1440p 144hz monitor. Its fixed 60hz only . Even in the display i cant make It 1440p . Only Option is 60hz and below. Please help me
@@EposVox Thanks, great content in your channel, If posibble would be great If you can compare the inside capture card of the PS5 It can record 4k 60hz vs Avermedia Thunderbolt 3 or make a review over performace with different games and who keeps the more frames stable in action escenes. 😎
I've watched this video a couple time, and I'm a bit confused about the 3.5mm headphone jack. All I want to know is if I can use headphones while recording? For example on Switch... it doesn't have a controller that sends audio.
I’m assuming this is an upgrade from a HD60(that i have)…my question is i have a 165hz monitor with a HD60 but locked at 60hz will this capture card allow me to play 120hz while i stream at 60fps?

Would the software of this Asus recognize it as an entry and most important is it possible to record the gameplay+game audio separately from the mic (I mean 2 audio tracks)?
So u don't have to use analog to hear yo gameplay with this card??
Could this capture card be utilized in a pass through configuration, for a single pc streaming setup, and utilizing the usb output in order to bypass hooking and display/game capturing issues? Let’s say I wanted to use the NVENC encoder to process the image provided from the USB output in order to reduce the load on my GPU, and bypass issues (stuttering, hitching, 99% GPU load, etc.) when using game or display capture on a single pc setup. Is this a feasible option with this capture card?
Capture cards don’t really benefit single PC setups in that way. Performance issues are caused by running OBS at all on the gaming PC more so than the actual hook in most cases. MW2019/Warzone is one of the only games that have actual hook issues and that should have been mostly fixed w/recent OBS updates.
You could *try* it for the scenario you’re describing but based on my testing it will not fix anything and now adds extra load via the USB round trip and decoding the capture card feed on top of everything else
@@EposVox Okay, that makes sense. Thank you for the clarification, and rundown of the process.
Will it work for old consoles? (I am using a 3 wire to hdmi adapter with it)
Which one is better for an Xbox series s/x? This asus tuf in this video or the avermedia live gamer ultra gc553?
Liked and subbed regardless. But question if you have the time, I just purchased this and am waiting for delivery but I feel sorta confused on something audio related. I'm on PS5 and currently using the Elgato HD60s. I'm using analog audio by running the chat link (not from Elgato cause that product is trash so I built one from better cables) I see this has a port for my controller and one for headphones. Am I just going to use the controller port? I feel like if I plug in my headphones jack I'll get double audio on stream. What would be the correct setup? On stream labs if that makes a difference. Thank you!
It mixes your mic and the party chat into one output (you plug the included 3.5 into your controller & controller input and your headset cable into the headset input)
@@TripleeVFX I was trying to play Killzone Shadow Fall on PS5 through the CU4K30 and found that only some of the audio was being passed through to the card through HDMI. Turns out plugging in the dualsense controller audio output through the ASUS' controller 3.5mm port partially fixed that (all audio / voices from the game now being passed through). Unfortunately, the game audio is way out of sync in OBS - almost 7 seconds behind - and has momentary drop outs/muting.
Incredibly frustrating.
@@withthesetwohands that’s strange I don’t get that issue on Xbox. Try taking a look into the PS5’s audio output settings.
@@TripleeVFX Xbox is actually a bit more "open" with their audio by allowing simultaneous audio output to both a headset and over HDMI to your TV, so I don't think I'll have these same issues there. Seems to be a problem just on PS5 but I'll know more as I continue testing. (Thanks for your reply!)
How would you compare this to the elgato hd 60 plus? Is it worth getting this capture card over the elgato?
The HD60 S+ doesn't support chat inputs, 1440p at all, capturing above 1080p (it passes through 4K but only captures 1080p), nor passing through/capturing anything above 60hz - so if those things matter to you, yes!
Interesting. But of course, it has to have a wort somewhere... I swear that that it seems like there's alway some imperfection with all the products, from all the companies.
Maybe this wort can be fixed with a firmware update. You might want to check periodically for the 1440p YUY2 working correctly, or whenever there's a firmware update (if you can detect it happening).
There are no perfect products hehe
@@EposVox Sure there are. They either already exist, cost $$$$$$, and the average consumer can't obtain them OR they simply haven't been invented yet.
My asus capture card is getting my ps5 audio but it just keeps on getting more and more delayed. I don’t know what to do.
Thank god I bought one ☝️
I wish there were DisplayPort passthrough capture cards that supported 1440p 144fps on the market. Oh well. NDI is good enough for me
did you out makeup for this shoot? you look exceptionally handsome :)
I just bought this card. when in the sound settings on my ps5 I choose dolby. strong noises appear in the obs application. Is there a solution to this problem?
So this capture card does not work with an M1 Mac Mini? Thats what I use currently with my Elgato HD60 S+ capture card. I’m looking for a card that supports 1080p/120fps capture with zero latency.
Hi, i have troubles with the audio with this capture card. When i choose the capture audio (cu4k30 uac audio) in the properties for the video capture, there is nothing in the audio mixer (setting monitor and output). As a result i have no sound in the recordings. When i choose „output desktop audio direct sound“ for the audio output mode, the video canvas becomes black. Am i missing something?
Have you saw the Ezcap320 GameDock Ultra? Seems really similar within the specs.
Which is a better chioice his or HD60 X
Between this and avermedia ultra?
Also if the heat is normal does it cause issues at all? If so would getting some kind of small mobile cooler help it ? Like the flydigi phone cooler ?
Haven’t experienced any cooling issues with it
on the fence between this and the hd60+
I'm new to capture cards. Does it has a built-in encoder for 4k60fps video recording ?
Hey, Epos do you know if I can reccord 1440p 60fps with this card on PS5 with 4k TV?
I can't fine the answer to this problem anywhere... I am getting audio de-sync when trying to use this card in OBS. Whether its set to custom resolution or default. Match output fps or highest fps... also tried 60. Over time the audio will slowly de-sync up the the point where it is several seconds behind the game on the xbox. This is the PC version of obs latest and 2560X1440
hey man ı need help for asus capture box. Can you help Me ?
Do u get notifications soundswith streamlabs? and can your stream hear all the audio from people in your party and also actual game sound?
Does anyone know if this would work well on a 2020 Imac running windows bootcamp? I game on my Imac and Ive been pulling my hair out trying to find a good 1440p capture card.
I'm new here, could explain what does "pass through" mean here?
By any chance do you have a link for the audio controller app? I can not seem to find that anywhere for some reason. Greatly Appreciated!

i see genki is very slow in obs, but ive been using genki to play ps5 on my macbook through their dedicated app and this is fast enough for me to play competetive tekken 7 online even, but does asus or any third party have a dedicated video feed app for this asus card like genki's arcade app? solely dedicated to low latency gameplay on a laptop on the go etc. as fast as the genki is in their own app, the resolution is not very exciting
How do you download the audio app you don't explain in video
1080p120 capture is cool but why would someone need it ? Genuine question you can’t share and stream 120hz can you?
You can
@@EposVox wtf!
Is this better than Elgato HD60S+ ?
I have Astro a40s with a adapter how would this work for me
If "Asus" Makes PCiE Capture Card with "RGB"
For some reason mine sometimes has an echo when I play back recorded videos. And the audio is delayed. Any idea?
Did you find the solution? My audio gets all fucked up…
any reason to buy the avermedia bolt (thunderbolt 3) over this TUF? do you think that the TUF fanless design makes up for anything the bolt might be better? As latency seems to be similar between them. thx
The Bolt does native 4k60 capture and 1440p144/1080p240 capture if you care about that. Their passthrough capabilities are the same
Hi, can u try to review ezcap 302 gamedock ultra USB 3.1 capture card. I own this capture card and would like to know your opinion on it.
With it being UVC what happens if you plug in two at the same time?
Works fine! ruclips.net/video/f60lSRrGNlE/видео.html
@@EposVox Thanks for doing that follow up short!
Hello appreciate the video, I decided to get one. But, is it normal for this thjng to get really hot?
Can you connect the fat ps2 console to it?
Can I play at 1080p 120fps and capture 1080p 120fps at the same time?
Or would I have to play at 1080p 240fps to capture 1080p 120fps?
I’m sick I just cashed out on a raser ripsaw for streaming as well as a elgato 4k60s+ for recording 🤦🏽♂️ . I gotta have this one as well 😂💯
can this audio/video capture device finally record one's webcam audio/video, while giving lectures via Zoom or MS Teams or Google Meet, using OBS but without using NDI ?
No. You’d need one of Elgato or Avermedia cards with Multi-app - or to use virtual cam out from obs
So like I have to have a computer/laptop to record games if I play on console ?
Am I able to plug in the Controller output to my PC, Headset outlet to my headset and set OBS to capture audio. Would still have my stream pick up game/voice audio and still be able to have my mic work for discord on PC?
@EposVox What is currently your top choice for gamer capture card?
How do I get rid of the HDCP off of my pc?
Does it have multi app support? Being able to record at the same time with two different programs, like the HD 60S
No
Is the 1440p issue when using the Retrotink 5X due to it outputting at 1920x1440 instead of the more standard 2560x1440 you think?
Yep. It's a nonstandard format that a lot of devices have trouble with
any info on the Y&H ezcap320 capture card? They claim Capture 4Kp30 HDR video
Refresh Rate passthrough of 1440p 144Hz and 1080p 240Hz
Great little card for 87.99 I use it for streaming ps5 to Facebook Gaming through streamlabs can play and stream 1080p 120htz
Can some one explain this to me … I’m thinking of buying this or elgato hdo60 x. I dont want any problems playing in 1440p 144hz out to 1440p 60z are these possible on both ?
Would this mean that there is no other capture external card out there better than this card? 😊
How do I get the audio louder on my headset I’m stuck there have everything just need the game louder on my headset
Two questions:
1. Does it record in 4K HDR?
2. Is it possible to record gameplays in older consoles like psx/ps2 with it?
Thanks.
First covered in the specs section, second in the retro section, both timecoded
@@EposVox Thanks. So, the answer for the second is (no) right?
You can with scalers, yes. I tested the most popular ones.
It doesn’t have analog connections so no you can’t natively
@@EposVox So I assume you will need a laptop or PC to record on console with this. Thanks again!
Please help me bro. Why cant play with my 1440p 144hz monitor. Its fixed 60hz only . Even in the display i cant make
It 1440p . Only
Option is 60hz and below. Please help me
Can anyone help me with my issue please. Thank you so much
Have you ever try it with PS5? If so what’s the max resolution to record?
Is it capable to do 1080 120fps?
Yep, 1080p120 or 1440p60 scaled from 4K same as everything else
@@EposVox Thanks, great content in your channel, If posibble would be great If you can compare the inside capture card of the PS5 It can record 4k 60hz vs Avermedia Thunderbolt 3 or make a review over performace with different games and who keeps the more frames stable in action escenes. 😎
Has anyone managed to use it with the PS3? Even using a splitter to break the HDCP, it does not pass the image and inform "HDCP" on the OBS screen
how do i do live commentary
Im trying to stream console to laptop. Ive got a xbox series x and a asus tuf a17 17.3 laptop. Would this capture card work?
Yes
I've watched this video a couple time, and I'm a bit confused about the 3.5mm headphone jack. All I want to know is if I can use headphones while recording? For example on Switch... it doesn't have a controller that sends audio.
Yep
@@EposVox does the headphone jack output zero latency audio passthrough?
If I have wireless headset will it pick up my mic?
I’m assuming this is an upgrade from a HD60(that i have)…my question is i have a 165hz monitor with a HD60 but locked at 60hz will this capture card allow me to play 120hz while i stream at 60fps?
Also with the line in for the controller will that automatically add game chat to stream or will have to change it to analog audio like the elgato?
Did you get an answer for this?
@@OnlyRuben yes he confirmed that this capture card would do what i asked
Sir, may I know what is the pass through resolution means? Currently I m using GC311(Only support 60hz for both pass through and capture) to do the mobile (android-asus rog 3) game streaming. And whenever I stream or record through the capture card, it cause my phone refresh rate drop from 144hz to 60hz and the touch latency as well. Therefore, is that means if we use this capture card which have high pass through and capture resolution, my phone can play at normal condition which is 144hz without touch latency drop? Looking forward for your reply soon.
Your help is greatly appreciated...
Yes, CU4K30 can allow your phone maintain 144hz
