how exactly does a 1080p usb 2.0 capture card work anyway
simple math suggests that it has to have an on-board video encoder, as 60 Hz 1080p 24bpp video would require just shy of 3 Gb/s, over six times what USB 2.0 can handle
@Felthry the only one's I've seen convert hdmi to analog video (at SD) and then capture that
@noiob I mean the really well-regarded Elgato Game Capture HD is usb 2.0
@Felthry does it actually do 1080p60?
@noiob It claims to at least
@Felthry got a link? the official site doesn't mention it anymore
@noiob not handy, this is from buying one used recently (it arrived today)
@Felthry ah well, you're gonna be able to check the bitrate then :D
@noiob I suppose!
I don't know why they decided not to make it a pcie card, really
@Felthry pretty sure they did, but many people only have laptops
@Felthry it doesn't
