the most popular streaming platform among gamers - suggests streaming in 1080p at 60fps.It works well for recording gameplay from a PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, just remember that it's limited to capturing in 1080p at 60fps or 4K at 30fps.The most outstanding feature of the AverMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus is that it allows you to capture your gameplays in 1080p at 60fps even if you are playing in 4K at 60fps, so you will not have to sacrifice resolution to record (much like the Elgato HD60 S+).Another of its advantages is that it has a mode that allows you to record without having to connect it to a computer, since it has a slot for a microSD card.Also, it has an integrated port for a 3.5 mm jack connector, so if you wish, your recording will include the comments you make from a microphone.Adding to these eye-catching features is a price of around $140, about $50 cheaper than the Elgato HD60 S+, so it's our recommendation when it comes to looking for a cheap video capture device.It works well for recording gameplay from PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, just remember that it's limited to capturing in 1080p at 60fps.Razer not only makes the fantastic and beautiful Razer Blade and Razer Stealth laptops, but also various accessories for gamers.Its video grabber is called the Razer Ripsaw and it has a design as slim as the Razer Blade.It shoots 1080p video at 60fps and can convert to that resolution from a native 4K 60fps signal (like the Elgato HD60 S+).It also has two holes to connect a microphone and headphones, so you can record your gameplay with your live comments.It costs around $150, so it's something of a middle ground between the Elgato HD60 S+ and the AverMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus.It works well for recording gameplay from PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, just remember that it's limited to capturing in 1080p at 60fps.If you have a desktop PC that you also use for gaming, the Elgato 4K60 Pro is definitely the number one option to consider.It records video in 4K at 60 fps and can pass-through a signal in 1080p at 240 Hz or 1440p at 144 Hz.
