Which Capture Card?

VeritanGaming · March 2, 2017

I'm sure this has been asked loads of times. I'm going to try to give all the details you need right here in the first post. My fiance and I made a deal that she could buy a smart watch with her tax return and I could spend the same amount on whatever I choose (the rest goes to honeymoon). So, now I have a spending limit of $200. I'd like to keep the capture card below $150, closer to $100, so that I can also get a RAM upgrade and a halfway decent webcam (those two are optional). Primary use for the card would be to capture HDMI consoles, of course, but I also want to be capable of capturing from PS2 and original xbox.

Purpose: Capture HDMI, A/V preferred but optional
Price range: $100-$200, lower almost always better

Computer specs (IDK if this will matter): i5-2500, 12GB DDR3 1600MHz, EVGA GTX 960, 400W PSU

I literally just bought an HP z210 workstation and slapped ram and a 960 into it. It does the job, now I'm giving it another.

Side note: Is this even the right place to put this thread? I'm only here because I saw another one here from mid-2015.

Edit: I've been looking at the Hauppauge Colossus. I just want to know if my money can go to a better home. http://www.hdpvr2gaming.com/product.sc?productId=5&categoryId=1
