Is a capture card like this what's needed to record gameplay from something like a switch (or PS5)? If so, is this a good price for a capture card, generally speaking? I'm seeing a lot of green/pink issues on Amazon reviews so I'll probably skip this...
Yes. I have this capture card after going through a bunch. The feature set on this capture card is why I'm still on it. For gaming you generally want a capture card with passthrough like this one, because otherwise additional latency.
This is probably overkill for switch because that only supports 1080p output. I got this for my PS5 because I wanted 1440p120hz passthrough. Also passthrough is seperate from your capture rate. You can get the XR1 lite for ~50$ (40 on Newegg), which has less bandwidth for the PS5's 4K stuff, but fine for 1080p. It'll probably also be fine for Switch 2 too as long as you're okay with the 1080p capture (probably).
Needs to be $40 for me to bite. Plenty of cheaper capture cards on Amazon.
Here you go. $40 for EVGA XR1 Lite
