Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a capture card to stream?
Only if you're streaming a console (PS5, Xbox, Switch) or a dedicated camera (DSLR/mirrorless) to your PC. A capture card takes the HDMI output and feeds it into your computer for OBS/Streamlabs. If you stream PC games directly, you don't need one — OBS captures the game natively. Capture cards are essential for console streaming and high-quality camera-as-webcam setups.
What capture resolution and passthrough do I need?
For 1080p60 streaming, an Elgato HD60 X (captures 1080p60 / 4K30, passes through 4K60) is the sweet spot. For 4K60 recording, you need a 4K60-capture card like the 4K60 Pro. 'Passthrough' lets you play on your TV at full quality while capturing at a lower resolution — important so a 1080p capture card doesn't cap your gaming display to 1080p.
