Good capture cards

[elevatorfan7072]

My monitor resolution is 1366x768 and I would like to own a capture card to take a load off the CPU. I plan on doing twitch broadcasts soon. My PC isn't very good in the first place, so that is why I am looking to purchase a capture card for broadcasting. Thanks in advance.

Avermedia have the best range of capture cards, all with different features depending on what uses you require from it.

I have the live gamer portable because i wanted a small portable device I could move between my systems most easily.

The only other worth while card seems to be the Elgato, but after watching comparison videos I found the Elgatos quality was not quite as good.

There are loads of videos on youtube and of course twitch.

My monitor is VGA, will it accept that?

Check the specification list of the devices you are interested in, some come with an hdmi to dvi converter cable.

It doesn`t look as if the Elgato comes with any converter cables.
