Verdict

Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2

7 / 10 Expert Rating

Still a genuinely strong 4K60 HDR10 card if found discounted, though the 4K X and 4K Pro have since taken its place for good reasons.

Roland VC-1-DL

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely useful multi-format converter for legacy AV environments, far more niche and pricier than a typical gaming capture card.
