Verdict

Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K

8 / 10 Expert Rating

An excellent low-profile SDI/HDMI capture card for DaVinci Resolve editors, entirely wrong for gaming capture.

EVGA XR1 Lite

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A smart way to get onto EVGA's XR1 platform for less, as long as you don't need the full card's onboard mic mixing.
