4K is still mostly in its infancy, and if you're a streamer, in particular, you aren't going to be wanting more than 1080p at 60FPS anyway. It's not quite as powerful, but it's very close and allows HDR passthrough so you can enjoy your games at their best.įor most people, though, the Razer Ripsaw HD is an excellent choice. And who doesn't like RGB?Īlternatively, AVerMedia has the Live Gamer Ultra if you're looking for 4K capture but don't have a desktop PC that handles an internal capture card. It handles 4K, HDR, and high frame rates while being priced aggressively. If you're an Xbox One X or PC gamer, the AVerMedia Live Gamer 4K is absolutely the best of the bunch.

There are a lot of great capture cards to choose from now to suit different needs and budgets, but all are better options than streaming directly from the Xbox, especially if capturing footage is a priority. The performance is down to Thunderbolt 3, providing the bandwidth, limiting who can use it, but this is one capture card ready for the next-generation Xbox. It even looks pretty neat with its RGB glow. That means up to 4K60 videos, 240FPS at 1080p, insane bitrates and quality, and a straightforward plug and play operation. What AVerMedia did with the Bolt is to cram all of the Live Gamer 4K performance into a box that can be used with either a desktop or a laptop.
