If you're not streaming games from a console, wait for Nvidia to release ShadowPlay and then just use a Kepler based GPU (600 or 700 series) instead of getting a capture card. Should be coming out July.

A capture card should only be used with a secondary computer that is going to do the rendering. A capture card in a single pc stream setup does not have any performance increase.

The Avermedia live gamer hd has an h264 encoder in it so it can be easily used in a single pc stream set up without a degradation in performance, at least that's what the reviews have said. It just uses a pass through from your gpu into the capture card and from that to your monitor. It should word just as well for pc as it would for console. The live gamer portable is the same general idea

I heard that encoder has horrible quality so most people prefer their CPU to encode. I never tried this however. I did have the livegamer but I returned it.

The live gamerhd. It made no difference in a single pc setup. I never had any issues but I never actually used the card's encoder. After reading reviews I didn't bother.
