Linus: why haven’t we made a video on capture cards in 5 years?
...
Well no one was paying us
now, that's the correct answer
noshitsherlok
why you nerds need linus, why you need his face?
capture his face!
is there anything wrong with that?
Sodafs nah mate it’s a joke, I’d do the same if I were Linus
"If you have a low budget motherboard"
"4k webcam, 4k capture card"
Priorities.
Exactly my point. If I have a low budget motherboard, I will more likely be having a cheap ass CPU and a budget GPU on it. Which won't be able to push anything higher than 1080p.
So why the fuck do I need a 4k capture card and 4k webcam?
@@its_argho Hey. My motherboard was only $50 but has a gtx 1080 and 7700k. (Nearly the best things available at the time.) High end motherboards really dont offer that much.
@@manaskyes9081 I meant, that if I am purchasing a low end motherboard, then it is more likely that I won't have the money to buy high end CPUs and GPUs. So..
@@its_argho why would you buy a 300 dollar mother board when you could just buy a 50-80 dollar board that suits your needs? That 200 dollar price difference (under normal conditions) is the difference between going 3060 and 3070? Seems like a pretty easy conclusion to me
@@Depl0rable10 I wouldn't. But try to understand my point. I know that I can get away with a cheap motherboard as long as it supports the CPU I bought and has the required ports/slots(almost all budget laptops have almost everything nowadays)
So my point is, if I am purchasing a cheap motherboard, I probably won't have the money to spend much on the CPU and GPU. Most probably I will settle with a 3060 at max(which is insanely costly here in India due to very less availability, around $800-$900). Now although it can game in 4k, it is more of a 2k card. So no point in buying a 4k capture card.

Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word "NO" :)
lol nobodies would, like if its a streaming pc you can literately just do it on that. and if your on a console, wtf are you gonna pay 2k for a pc
MrYellow Plenty of people will stream on both console and PC. And it isn’t just streaming, recording and editing content from a console can benefit greatly from a better PC. Sure, you could do it for cheaper but if you don’t want to or aren’t able to build your own and have the money available it isn’t a bad idea.
I mean if you have a GeForce Gtx it should come with one included. Mine does so I don’t need one
Worst Title on earth. I bet it's because El Gato wouldn't pay them for saying El Gato on camera.
"When our sponsors reached out to us" thanks for being honest
It's not just cost that differentiates the PCIE cards. It's also whether it requires a 1x slot, or a 4x slot. Most motherboards have the 1x slots controlled through the chipset. This won't affect the PCI lanes on your video card. If you use a 4x card, then you will most likely need to use a full sized PCIE slot and you will be sharing PCI lanes with your video card. This will drop the available PCIE lanes from 16 to 8 in most cases.
AMD and Corsair: Can you do a review on this pc we made?
Linus: So guys take a look at this capture card that came with this pc
Corsair owns Elgato.
It's the 'evergreen content' strategy that LTT has been pushing for years. All videos should have some kind of interesting narrative. The purpose is to make videos that keep getting views even years later. That's why all unboxings (etc) have been pushed onto a secondary channel. Linus recently said in an interview that LTT is probably one of the least noticeable channels that does 100 million views monthly.
Linus: makes a video about capture cards sponsored by Corsair.

For PC gaming, only if you are a streamer with dual setup where one of them does the capture and encoding and the other one focus on the game for better FPS performance.
You also probably don't want your stream to go down with the captured device if something goes wrong. You also won't miss out on those great blue screen clips.
@@djtangable7550 nope that's not a thing at all
@@EposVox Nice seeing you here
Even with 1 pc it can have a fps improvement.
The "problem" of recording software is it must hook in the game engine to record the game (the only exception is Shadowplay, but the quality is meh) and this hooking will decrease the fps of the game.
The actual recording softwares like OBS Studio are doing a very good job
, so the decrease in fps is small.
@@djtangable7550 I'm not going to read your wall of text mansplaining capture cards to THE guy who reviews capture cards on CZcams BUT
your entire premise seems to be based upon the idea that capture cards are pulling in video in H264, which is untrue. Modern (worthwhile) capture cards are pulling in the video feed in NV12, YUY2, or XRGB streams which are all uncompressed - and while technically less data than raw video texture through the PCIe bus from GPU - is not "less" enough to matter, and none of that is a particular "advantage" of any kind for encoding for a stream.
That's literally not how capture cards work
The question "Do you need a Capture Card for your PC?" Can be answered very easily by asking yourself:
"Do I need to capture video from an external device on my PC?"
If your answer is Yes then you need a Capture Card, if your answer is No then you don't need one.
Thank you!
If you even see this, I’m deciding whether to get one or not. I have mad games on my Xbox, and the only thing I would see myself streaming would be NBA2K, and if you know that game, you can play it on PC but the online experience is terrible since everyone just mods and hacks. Should I waste the 170 just for one game?
@@SirrLamee well if you have the money, and do have a need for it. Then go for it.
Im on a gaming laptop with 2nd monitor. I want to capture (record) the game on the 2nd Monitor. But the cheap Cap card im looking at does NOT have an internal recorder. And it says it works with OBS.
Thus 1) Will I get a benefit from connecting their Cap card and recording to the USB port (I can connect an external HD)? I.e. does passing my video signal thru their device, help encode it so that OBS runs/saves better?
2) If no, then do I need to by a Cap card with internal recording chip, to get a benefit for recording my PC display (while gaming)? (It says it saves the recording as mp4.)
@@kenalpha3 Bro can capture card work without integrated graphics
A common setup that wasn't considered in the video is a two pc setup where the main one used to game or what have you and the secondary one has a capture card and handles the streaming or video recording. This has major benefits as the entirety of the video processing needed for streaming or recording is done on another computer. Moreover, if one crashes the other should still be working (typically this would allow the stream to go on). The one drawback is that it means you now have two computers to control instead of one.
I feel like it would be better to just have a capture card if that does the encoding for you at that point, the third type he demonstrated.

Pepperidge Farm remembers
Would have appreciated comparisons to competitor hardware i.e. Black Magic, AverMedia, Razer. Usually I'm not disappointed with LTT videos, I find them by-and-large informative and entertaining; however, this was pretty meh I'm sad to say.
I hope to see some better content about this product class since a lot of people are becoming interested in streaming video content from consoles/DSLRs for better visual quality in social engagements over the web. I myself am trying to find a good solution for pulling video from my DSLR for Zoom calls, but I'm not willing to commit to Elgato simply because they appear to be market leader.
No further information is needed, ElGato is superior.
Well this is a sponsored video so I guess they cant compare them
while this would normally be true, it was sponsored to show the difference between elgatos products, not between capture cards
its a sponsored video, not a comparison
Im using blackmagic decklink for 6 months now. Its 50€ cheaper then the elgato and works perfect. Blackmagic is a lot used in live registrations and stuff
There’s actually some latency depending on how hard your PC is running. It looks like latency is more dependent on the PC processing than the actual card.
He only compared recording vs not recording, but not „with vs without“ capturecard.
linus did actually mention that the load is still on the pc and not the card. it was early on in the video think
Clickbait rule of thumb: if it asks a question, the answer is probably no.

@@laupoke *Looks at RDNA 2*
I sometimes use my capture card to view hdmi content when I can't reasonably bring a monitor, and latency isn't a huge issue (e.g.: debugging computers without a monitor). Unfortunately my small laptop isn't officially supported, because it doesn't have dedicated graphics, but it does kind of work in OBS. If it could somehow drop the dedicated GPU requirement, it'd be perfect for on-site debugging.
And I also use it to turn a camera I already had into a webcam (shows up as a webcam, despite what is implied in this video, maybe that was just a comment about the PCI express versions?), which is much higher quality than what I could expect to get with a regular webcam.

I'm a creator and I work with a HD60 Pro daily, and I'd like to expand a bit on what Linus said in this video. Another convenience benefit of PCI-e over USB that Linus didn't address is audio and audio latency. He says that PCI-e is "lower latency" but he doesn't mention how drastic it is. When I had a USB Elgato, there was a good 1.5 to 3 seconds of delay on both video and audio. With the HD60 Pro, there's only a couple hundred ms. It's not ideal for playing competitive or fast paced games on, and you should still use passthrough. HOWEVER, it does save me a step of connecting audio output to my monitor as you can use monitoring in OBS to hear the audio since the delay is rather insignificant. I do this for everything from playing casual and retro games, to playing Modern Warfare on my laptop passed through my desktop capture card, to endurance and Formula 1 racing with a wheel, all through my computer's speakers or headphones.
Also, not needing to switch inputs if I just need to grab footage of something for a video but not play the game seriously is very convenient, as I can just use the preview window as it's "Good Enough."
The HD60 Pro has also been significantly less picky with input resolution than the USB card before it, though I'd still recommend other retro creators buy something like a Framemeister or OSSC (ideally both) to make sure that whatever you feed the capture card will be accepted. The Framemeister will take anything I feed through it or the OSSC (HDMI from OSSC to Framemeister), allow me to scale it and zoom/adjust it to be the proper aspect ratio and screen position/size, and then spit it out in 1080/60. When using cheaper solutions like HDMI converters for original Xbox, I had serious issues with games like Enter The Matrix, which display in 1080i at 60FPS, having their framerate halved by the Elgato, as well as having issues around the edge of the picture that would normally be hidden by overscan. The Framemeister+OSSC combo resolves this entirely, and looks far far far far far better than the HDMI converter to boot.
If any other creators have questions about this kinda stuff feel free to reply and ask away, I loooooove doing this.

Getting a PCIe capture card with a passthrough and a built-in standalone encoder would be rad. Especially if you've also got it paired up with an atomic clock.

@Zen Re: Dammit
you guys should do a video on latency between cards or interfaces and latency on passthrough vs preview.
I use a capture card to play switch in preview on my ultrawide so the scaling doesn't get wonky.
maybe a video showing off old capture cards would be fun too.
I'm surprised GPUs haven't added in capture card ability inside the card. I get now the 30 series can basically stream without much issue but If I want to capture from my old PC (playing an unsupported game for example) or console to allow it to be recorded and if you need a 2 pc system (or just want it for the convenience of not ending your stream if the gaming PC fails) a GPU having this ability would be awesome.

I have an avermedia live gamer 4K 60 pro and it does the same thing as the algato camlink in the sense that it detects it as a webcam input. That said, if your capture card doesn't support such a feature, you can always set it up with obs and turn on the virtual webcam setting which also allows you to use obs overlays and any other desirable obs features.
HDCP - there's some splitters that will basically get rid of it, allowing you to record HDCP content. It's just a tad tricky to know for sure if the one you're getting will work or not since most manufacturers make different revisions with some stripping the HDCP protection and others not. Though a quick online search should give anybody a good idea of which ones to look for :)
Also - USB 3 isn't required for the Elgato cards. They work just fine with USB 2, especially since the older ones from Elgato came with USB 2 only. It's just that the newest ones can make use of USB 3 , though any older version will work just fine as well

I've always questioned the encryption part. I use an active VGA adapter, legally purchased and obtained. And yet I have no problem watching Netflix or other encrypted media. Since it's analog, I can't see any reason why a VGA capture card couldn't just record the same thing I could see on my screen.
Sure, there was that old Macromedia protection, but that depended on everyone using CRT TV signals to work.
Not to mention you could always just capture using a camera, a quality screen, and good placement.
Even cheap capture cards can do their job because the data is not encrypted when it reaches a TV/video card (unless the cards can read the multitudes of different encrypting).
wow shot, edited and directed by pelle. great vid man!
I appreciate you all doing a test to show the latency. Now I know I can use a USB version for now. (:
I recommend the AverMedia Pro as a good budget option as it works great in Linux and Linux + OBS is like the super combo when it comes to streaming reliably.
Windows is probably more reliable (unless you update as soon as possible).

Does my PC need a rectangular black thing with a PCI-E connector? I DON'T KNOW!
I'd like to include that, even if you have a DSLR camera, you still don't necessarily need a capture card.
There are usually apps and/or obs plugins to allow the DSLR to be perceived as a webcam.
You will need, however, to get a power cable for the said camera, unless you only record under 20 minutes of gameplay ;)
Not all cameras have the 20-minute limit. Also, the limit only applies when the sensor is being used. My a6000 records unlimited OBS video and does not overheat as is their main problem with video recording. The only thing used for streaming is the lens and power, so all that is needed is external power through a DC adapter or a dummy battery.
@@KaptainCanuckWith 20 minutes I was referring to the battery limit, I know the time limit varies from camera to camera.
On mine for example (Nikon D5300) I had to download a modified version of the firmware to remove the live view 30min limit.
⚠️ Should anybody happen to read this and attempt the same, BE CAREFUL, do monitor the temperature on the back of your camera and if your screen can lift off of it in any way, do lift it.
Especially at 1080p and up, your camera may overheat, depending on your room temperature.

I remember using a capture device to be able to play NES games on my computer back in the early 2000s.
It's nice to see that technology vastly improved throughout the years.
Digital video capture is doing little more than compressing a digital signal, an analog video capture device is rather more tricky.
Burnt out a USB capture device two weeks ago. Was using it with an old Mac Pro and I think the exhaust made it overheat. I can see the benefit of a PCIe card, but they’re more expensive and less flexible across devices.
I am learning so much from Linus and friends along with his forum community that helped me troubleshoot to the point of upgrading a prebuilt gaming desktop to my advantage. I wish i can show him photos of my rig thanks to him and friends.
The Elgato camlink is an amazing device. Glad I snached a few for work before they were out of stock at best buy and ebay prices shot up. Had issues with BlackMagic Shuttle with this clunky program, graphics laptop saw the camlink as a pc camera with source as 720 and was solid to decode scoreboard information.

I use an elgato pcie camlink pro (4 hdmi) in an external thunderbolt enclosure. It is great for taking multicam streaming with me when I am streaming my school's sports games and minimizes the amount of stuff I have to take in my travel kit. I wanted to buy a second camlink pro, but I couldn't find one near me (it looks like the Camlink Pro didn't sell well [and was discontinued??? Not really sure]), so we bought a blackmagic 4 port card for our second streaming kit. Either of these cards work great for on the road portability and reliability.
You should do the same with SDI cards, like Kona5 or Decklink.
Disappointed... Come back to Capture Cards after they add RGB.
Done, asmedia has got your back with a 4K HDR capture card now with RGB lol
Or just get an Ossc it's amazing

I just got myself an Elgato HD60 S+ that I have hooked up to my XBox One X and my laptop a couple weeks ago. A little more complicated than I was expecting, especially since I'm still trying to figure out OBS and could use a video or two on using that software. I'm able to get things working, but if I mess up one setting it usually takes me hours to get everything back working again.
For budget builds with limited resources it can be used to lighten the load a bit
You can find cracked versions of many captured card software that allows HDCP input I hate recording me playing on PlayStation because of this you can turn HDCP off but then you will be lockout of some stuff on it until you turn on HDCP again.
can you help me find the cracked version? would like to use on ps3
@@desho9472 crack versions are not legal so I can't. I would recommend you try googling the name of the capture card and then crack after if that doesn't work then you on Your own also I never had a problem with ps3 it's mostly ps4 that was my problem unless you trying to record BR or Apps
Honestly, for most people getting a Nvidia GPU is more than enough, especially considering the price of capture card.
But then you only can record in games and not on desktop. Right?
you can record desktop
@@Julian-zd9kx Shadowplay has desktop capture.
@@Julian-zd9kx only if intel graphics are enabled (on laptops for example), on Nvidia only you can record anything
@@Julian-zd9kx geforce experience and amd relive can record desktop too
Holy crap!!! Thanks linus when i did my processor swap i forgot to see if my new one had integrated graphics for my second monitor, and it didnt, so whenever i streamed i would have to put my obs in the back ground on full screen so i could still see chat, then i would have to minimize the game to play, i didnt think about doing a game capture and playing through obs!
I remember that I used to have a capture card back in 2000 when I would have a video on my camcorder that uses vhs c tapes and if I wanted to convert them to a video file like an AVI. At the time, I was using Windows ME. BTW, my old camcorder still works even today, I bought it from Walmart in 2000 and the very last time that I used it for something practical would be when I graduated high-school in May of 2002.
I wonder what Linus without a beard would look like. The world will never know.

I know that link already lol
@@techquire it's not funny if all you do is spam the link every where , most people will just think you're a four year old trying to plug their gaming channel you have reply when someone asks for a link to something
@@munjee2 lol sorry hope the song cheered you up
You totally forgot about the OBS-NDI plugin for over LAN 2 PC streaming. Or, maybe that's the next video...

Your next video, why you need linus to make a video?
How old are you?
I discovered this over quarantine, and I love it. No need to change your source resolution or refresh rate, no crazy cables. Works well over AC Wireless Wi-Fi too
@@Kaas_ WI-FI???!!! WTF!!! :P
@@sbryans123 I'm working on getting a switch, but the laptop is on Wi-Fi and it works without a hitch
A couple years back I bought one of those usb elgato hd60s capture cards because I wanted to record/stream games from my Xbox. I then built my first pc and it remained completely unused. So I gave it to my brother so he could record from his Nintendo switch
Man, the profit margins on your water bottles must be pretty good for you to be shoving the advertisement down our throats every video lmao

So this is where the stock for the Elgato capture cards went...
Atticus Nari
Stock, how mad are you? invest in crap?
For PC gaming it also helps if you play one of like two games which can't be captured using obs (Destiny 2 or CS:GO)
The title (which others are talking about already) aside, you should have explicitly mentioned that one should inspect the specifications of the capture device to check wether it has a hardware encoder or not. For lossless capture, non-HW encoders are a must (unless suddenly a device pops up which allows bypassing the internal decoder, which i havent seen any of so far...)
Linus: uploads a video

@@techquire why are you being a dumb ass and trying to rick roll me thats the offical link
No Linus, my laptop doesn’t need this.
Correction, Linus; a capture card can capture online or TV cable like Shaw or Bell in Canada. I have a $60 CAD USB card (it runs fine through USB2, as well) and I can record ANY channel or stream because the input data thinks the capture card is a monitor/TV HDMI output so the encoding is finished at the output. Once media suppliers find an "industry standard" TVs can then do the decoding but neither has happened yet.
ive got the same corsair case, such a beauty. could have a better cable managment options though
