Elgato Game Capture 4K X
Top capture card — 4K144 + VRR passthrough; overkill unless you capture a PS5 Pro or high-refresh PC.
Elgato HD60 X
The no-fuss capture card for most streamers; 1080p60 capture with 4K passthrough.
AVerMedia GC553G2
The only capture card that handles PS5 party chat natively — the reason to pick it over Elgato.
