Capture Cards
Here at Overclockers UK, we stock a variety of capture cards, perfect for levelling up your streaming setup. Whether you’re a new streamer or one with an existing audience, the use of a capture card can add an extra level of professionalism to your content. A capture card can even improve your gaming performance when used with a dual PC setup. This is where you play your game on one PC, and use a capture card on a second PC to capture your gameplay. This essentially removes the encoding overhead from your primary PC, freeing up utilities that can be employed for improved gaming performance. Additionally, with a capture card, you can also stream from any consoles you may have.
How does a Capture Card work?
A capture card functions by taking external inputs from devices, such as a console, camera, or second PC. This is achieved by simply connecting the device to your capture card via a HDMI cable. Utilising this method, you can capture footage at up to 4K resolutions with silky smooth frame rates.
The capture card then transmits the video to your PC, where you can edit the video with software such as OBS. This edited footage can then be broadcast to external platforms such as Twitch or YouTube. By using this external method for capturing and editing footage, your gaming PC or console is able to dedicate more resources to the game instead of encoding the footage. Plus, you’ll see an improvement in gaming performance.
