Verdict

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.

Magewell Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus

8 / 10 Expert Rating

Professional-grade internal capture built for broadcast production, overkill and overpriced for anyone outside that world.
