Capture card for 1080p@60 recording and 1440p output.

[krtshv]

Hello. I want to record 1080p@60FPS (preferably at raw footage) while outputting 1440p to my ROG Swift.
Is there a way to do this? Is there a capture card for this? I'd like to avoid software solutions.

Price isn't the issue, just need something that works.

So do if I understand this correctly, you want to play at 1440p on your 1440p monitor, while recording at 1080p?

If you have Nvidia card you can use shadowplay and set the recording to 1080p@60 if you'd like, while playing at your native 1440p monitor.

edit: nvm you don't want software solutions, sorry.

So for what purpose do you want to do this, streaming I guess?

You could get a magewell capture card though it's most likely super waste of cash depending on what you're using it for...

You're right but I want a hardware solution.
I tried Shadowplay and it worked terribly every time. I lost many hours of gameplay due to Shadowplay either losing audio halfway through or corrupting the entire recording with artifacts.

I tried Action! (which is what I'm using thus far) but the FPS impact is still a slight issue I'm trying to avoid.

It's not exactly for streaming but rather for recording.

Did you check out the Elgato Game Capture HD60? It seems to be a devoted streaming device capable of 1080p @ 60FPS.
I've never tryed it, but considering to purchase it soon. I don't see why it would not let you play a game at your desire resolution since it's encoding the video by itself before recording/streaming. Pretty sure it will let you play @1440p and stream @1080p.

According to their website, it only records at 30 FPS @ 1080p and the 60FPS is just pass-through (And also, only at 1080P, not the desired 1440P).

Directly from the web site : 'With superior H.264 hardware encoding, Elgato Game Capture HD60 raises the bar to a whole new level.
Easily capture stunning 1080p with 60 fps, and enjoy incredibly smooth footage in easily manageable files.'

And I might not have understand well but you want to stream 1440p or 1080p? Because pretty sure you can game at a certain resolution and stream at another resolution.

You were looking at the HD model. HD60 does record 1080p @60fps.

Ah, you're right. Although it doesn't say it supports 1440p pass-through.

The way i see it :

Your eyes ----­ 1440p monitor ---- HDMI cable ---- Elgato HD60 ---- USB cable ---- your computer
______________ ^-----------------------------HDMI or Display port-------------------------------^

Your monitor resolution and the recording reslution are 2 separate things. I'm speculating, but since the Elgato device does it's own encoding, it will record or stream at 1080p using H.264 .

It's more like this:
GPU Output -> HDMI In (Elgado) -> HDMI Out (HDMI-to-DP Connector) -> 1440p display.

if the Elgado doesn't output 1440p from the HDMI out, my display won't be able to display 1440p. The ROG Swift only has 1 DP connector, nothing else, so I can't go HDMI out from the display and into the Elgado.

hmmmm indeed I tought it would be the other way around. But that makes more sens. So you would need a device capable of 1440p pass-through...

Indeed, and I can't seem to find anything with a 1440p passthrough. I'd really hate to go 1080p.
