I'd recommend the Nearstream CCD30 card. I've had both the 1080p one and the 4k card (the CCD30) Never had any problems with either of them. The 4k card can be expensive but I'd say it's worth it. The CCD10 is their 1080 card and the CCD30 is the 4K version.Read thread S

CopperCarver CopperCarver · 3.6K subscribers · Sept 2025 What's great about this capture card, unlike a bunch of others, is this allows you to play your game at 4K 60 frames a second, keeping the quality of your gameplay while still being able to stream in that great quality.Watch L
