Hardware Which Capture Card should I buy? (Wiiu & Switch)

[Justin20020]

Hello,

I don't know where to look whats the best and not too expensive capture card is at the moment. I want to stream some games in the future on twitch but for now, it's only that my gf can watch me to play some games too while we're using skype. It should be cost about 50€ - 100€. Hope that could someone help me

If you want an really good Capture Card like an Elgato Game Capture HD60 or HD60 S it will cost you 170€ - 180€.

But an alternative is the AverMedia Portable Live Gamer HD it costs about 80€.

Alright thank you! What is the difference between HD60S and HD60?
Maybe I will show some tests about them and the AverMedia device. I hope it will run smooth

I have been using a Elgato HD60 for years now and the only issues i have ever had have been down to dodgy HDMI cables.
The big difference between the HD60 and the HD60 S is the HD60 S uses USB 3.0 rather then the HD60's USB 2.0

Depends. Are you looking for internal cards or external USB capture devices?

I’d say invest in the elgato 60s

Check the secondhand market for elgato deals. I got an HD60 Pro for $150NZD from someone who bought it for their laptop by mistake and I've sometimes seen the HD60 for $60-80.
