A capture card like the XR1 allows the encoding work to be offloaded to another system so that the game and your streaming software are not competing for resources.

The discounts seen put it only a hair more expensive than the AVerMedia Live Gamer Mini, and this is a much more capable capture card.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on PC has not been everyone’s favorite port, but I enjoy the game and hadn’t played it much since the PC launch. Ultimately, you are going to be stuck with a maximum of 60 Hz refresh support at 4K or 1080p when the device is active. For those who want to start recording video or streaming video to services like YouTube or Twitch, but don’t have the budget for an Elgato HD60S, the XR1 Lite is my top recommendation.This isn't necessary, because I'm using a high-quality Razer USB-C cable, getting maximum performance and all features, and freeing up one USB port on my PC. In addition, the EOS R6 supports 4K capture which works equally well, although the XR1 still only outputs a 1080p60 feed. Today we’re taking a look at the EVGA XR1 Lite, one of the cheapest 1080p60 capture cards on the market. One thing I don’t like about Elgato’s cards is the fact that to get the most out of them it requires a ton of drivers and software to install onto my PC.

While I’m bummed that we don’t get 4K60fps capture, the card does at least support 4K60 pass-through, meaning console players won’t have to worry about lowering their framerate when playing on stream. The XR1 connects to your PC via a USB Type-C port, with a Type-C to Type-A cable included in the box. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.

While still limited to 120Hz, it is a significant improvement over other similar devices that must be considered. For those looking to capture 480p signals (whether that be native or upscaled), the XR1 Lite has you covered. For those PC players who are using a capture card in their set up, being able to utilize high refresh rates still in your capture is key, as the card supports up to 144hz when capturing at 1440p. This means it doesn’t need any third party drivers to work correctly and works right out of the box.

The EVGA XR1 Capture Device has secretly been in use on our weekly streams for weeks without hiccups.No matter the set resolution, the NVIDIA Control Panel no longer lists G-Sync as an available option when the XR1 is in play. As the description implies, these devices allow virtually any HDMI feed to be routed through them to be captured by a computer.
