Good Capture Card for 1080p?

[wickedbl0ke]

I'm looking to record some gameplay off my consoles and laptops. Can you suggest a good capture card that does not go heavy on the pocket?

The Elgato Capture Card outdoes most of the graphics cards out there. And its pretty reasonably priced. There's a few different Elgato cards out there with only minor differences and small (but may be significant for you) changes in prices. The Amazon pages for each of the elgato cards show a table that compares the differences between the cards. Here's the Amazon links for the cards: 

 

Elgato - Game Capture HD60: Will set you back ₹17,999 excluding delivery charges, But seems reasonable for its performances and reviews. Records 1080p60 and very simple to setup and use. Built in live streaming. Works with most consoles and pc or mac (it says "PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Xbox 360, or Wii U" so I'm not sure about PS3) It's got retroactive recording so you can obtain the footage of your gameplay of upto 5 mins back in case you had forgotten to click record or something happens too suddenly (really cool feature). The reviews seem to be very good for this device as well.

 

Elgato - Game Capture HD60 S: This one is supposed to be the better one among all of them, yet it's cheaper (I have no Idea why, might be because it only supports PS4, Xbox one, Wii U and pc or mac). It's something they call Gameview. I don't know what it is but you might wanna check it out.  One more thing, It's got USB 3.0 (which I don't think the other Elgato cards have). This is a really great feature as it increases productivity and drastically reduces the transfer times of the large sized detailed footage it records. Also check if it can Retroactively record. not sure of that either. This one is pretty good for the price and is personally recommended unless you own a PS3 and/or Xbox 360 or if it doesn't have the that Flashback recording feature.

 

Elgato - Game Capture HD: Will set you back ₹16,999 excluding delivery charges. At a difference of about ₹1000, this one does not record at 60 Fps although at 1080p. It will record at 720p60. Other than this, I do not see much of a difference in the features. However, this one does support PS3 for sure so if you have a PS3 you might want to consider this. Also, this Amazon page has that comparison table I was talking about, so check that out.

 

Elgato - Game Capture HD60 Pro: Don't know much about this one, but its a PCIe Interface connector card. Supports all platform. This one seems to be for a Hardcore Gamer and professional recorder. Check more about this one if you're interested. Price is about the same as the HD60 S.

 

Good Luck for your Purchase!
