Which Capture Card Should I Use?

[blekkkk]

Hey guys! So I stream a lot and want to use my laptop to handle OBS so I dont get performance drops. I play at 144hz at 1080. I saw something about the elgato 60 or something screen tearing with 144hz. Which would be the best option?

The elgato 60 means that it will display 60hz and that version is 1080p.

what about the screen tearing issues I read about when playing at 144hz though?

This guy has a good theory:

But keep in mind that it may not work. You can always set your display at 60hz altough that would not seem like a good option.

So after some research i managed to find some solutions

1. the elgato cloning the the primairy display (May not work/ more issues)
2. The 2 PC setup (100% change of working) That is setup like this https://rzr-insider-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/2016/04/240632_d98acb6d3438943671ad8517d3174f08.jpg

(You can also use the elgato for this)

Thanks a bunch! This is exactly what I needed. I do have one other question though. How can I get my game and mic audio to transfer to my stream PC? Or since im running OBS on my gaming pc too it'll be picked up? Also, does it NEED to be a DVI connection?
