The full bandwidth required for uncompressed 1080p60 for HDMI is about 3Gbps, which can be provided over USB 3.0. When the feed comes in uncompressed, you can encode it yourself on the PC end, and any modern PC will be able to do so far more efficiently and flexibly than whatever a cheap USB capture card could manage.
I get what you're saying. There is a potential for USB 2.0 capture devices to have beefy enough encoders to achieve transparency (perceptually indistinguishable from uncompressed) quality, but I'd still prefer uncompressed feeds when possible.

It's very simple math:
The average bitrate of a 1080P 60FPS YouTube video hovers around 12Mbps. USB 2.0 is capable of 480Mbps.
Generously speaking (80% utilization), you could connect 32 of these devices to one bus and all would be able to capture 1080P.
More expensive devices have better hardware decoders.
You can give this all the bandwidth you want, but if the decoder is mediocre, higher bitrate isn't going to matter. Moreover, there's diminishing returns once you hit a certain bitrate without raising the resolution or changing the encoding scheme.
Also, the codec used isn't relevant to the output, as long as it supports the resolution and bitrate. The driver may allow MJPEG wrapped in AVI, but H264 is cheap enough that MP4 is probably also an option.
Either way, 1080P is supported.
Yes, it's false advertisement.
But it also doesn't affect the performance of the product.
And for $20, it's still a good deal.

The maximum output for capture, however, is 1080P.
So you can hook up a 4k device and capture it at up to 1080P.
The performance aspect is that the captured stream won't be neutered in quality because of USB 2.0 being too slow (it's plenty fast enough for multiple 1080P captures).

Anyone know if you can record tv shows etc?
What software is best for recording tv shows etc?
But the review says it's USB 2.0,I am OK with 2.0, not using it for gaming, I will see if this works for my case, if not, I am returning it.
Just picked up the grey one!
Thanks OP!
