EVGA XR1 lite Capture Card, Certified for OBS, USB 3.0, 4K Pass Through

Is this the right pick for you?

This EVGA XR1 lite Capture Card is ideal for content creators and streamers who are looking to capture high-quality video from their systems. It's particularly suited for those using OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) as their primary streaming software, given its official certification with this popular application. The card supports 4K pass-through, which means you can directly stream your system’s display without the need for an additional monitor or cable, making it perfect for setups where space is limited and performance is crucial. In a typical setup, this capture card would be installed in a spare PCIe slot of your computer, connected to your GPU (assuming your GPU supports 4K pass-through). It requires minimal configuration once you have OBS set up—simply plug the USB cable into your system for power and use the included software to configure the settings within OBS. The USB 3.0 connection ensures that there is no bottleneck in data transfer, allowing for smooth streaming without any lag or stutter. Before purchasing, it's important to ensure compatibility with your existing hardware setup. This card works best with systems running Windows 10 (64-bit) or later and requires a compatible GPU that supports 4K pass-through. Additionally, while the card is USB-powered, make sure your system’s power supply can handle the additional load from both the capture card and any other peripherals you plan to use simultaneously. Regularly updating your drivers and keeping OBS updated will also help ensure optimal performance and stability.
