Not sure which capture card to buy

[adam88townsend]

Hi, I am wondering if anybody can advise me on which capture card to buy. I want to be able to stream my ps4 through my pc and add my webcam and mic audio from my pc. Obviously I want it to run well so I want to make sure I buy the right one without overspending. I don't know if they all do the same job or if they are all different. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance..

can your pc handle the card?

what are your specs?

I would hope so. I have a gtx 1060 6gb ryzen 5 1600 and 16gb ram. I am able to stream gta, fallout 4 from my pc at a pretty good quality. I assumed it'd be easier to stream through a ps4 with capture card because the ps4 will be running the game and not the pc.

you can stream easily. your ps4 will not be running harder than normal , but the pc needs to do alot of work too.

Thank you for your help. That is the same one I concluded I should buy but I wasn't confident in my own knowledge. I was hoping to spend about half that. Oh well, I'll wait a while then buy it. Thanks again
