Hello,
I was looking to buy a capture card so I can record gameplay. I want to use the capture card in a single PC setup. (so just my only one PC). The reason why is that when recording gameplay via OBS or AMD relive I lose frames, an average of 10 frames. In games that run at 100+ fps that's ok, but not all of them do.
Is it worth getting a capture card for one single PC setup? On Reddit, they say NO
The reason why I am asking because after many youtube tutorials I still don't completely understand how a capture card works. I was interested in the Elgato HD 60 S+
While people say that a capture card is not a CPU, I was hoping to reduce the impact of performance and get flawless recordings. I say flawless because all these software like OBS etc are hit and miss. Been using them for years, so many times when I had to delete the recording cuz something went wrong.
So I need a capture card for improved performance and stable recording. Do you think it's worth it?

PS: I don't own a console, I record on Windows PC, and I don't stream. I only record so I can edit the footage later.
