Hi, capture cards (eg from Elgato) are primarily there to "film" games from a console like PS4 or Xbox. Such a capture card also brings something if you gamble on a PC or don't gamble once but only something, for example. Recorded in the internet browser. LG.
What do you mean by "bring"? If they record a video of it, you have what you want, right?
Or what do you mean bring?
Since I would simply use the Windows / Nvidia recording.
It's not worth it.
In addition, a capture card takes on other devices and not the same PC or?
?
What should it bring?
If you want to take the picture of another PC with one PC, yes.
However, if you want to take the pictures on the PC on which you are also going to take the picture, you do not need a capture card for this, but can directly record it with a program such as https://obsproject.com/de.
The capture card primarily serves as a video input so that you can connect other devices to it, e.g. A game console, another PC / laptop, a video camera, a satellite receiver, a DVD player or whatever. You can then record the video signal of the connected device on the PC.
Some companies use capture cards e.g. To connect your surveillance cameras to it and thus be able to display and record the image of several cameras on the PC.
So they are not only used in the gaming sector.
Helpful answer Tim. He wants to record his desktop / browser and may not want to lose the performance that he would get with a recording program on his computer.
When you connect the PC, it relieves the system resources. Quite pointless for desktop recordings, possibly useful for resource-hungry games.
Otherwise, you can also use it to digitize analog media, depending on what connections it has.
I didn't understand what he meant to bring. But apparently he means more performance or no loss of performance.
Then yes, then it brings something. But only if he plays or something. To record things from a browser would be a waste of money. The PC is not running at the limit. That would be enough for OBS or something.
