## Description

EVGA XR1 Pro Capture Card, 1440p/4K HDR Capture/Pass Through, Certified for OBS, USB 3.1, ARGB, Audio Mixer.

Review: Works great - Might be the best capture card in this price range. Captures 1440p144fps with no problem (it can also capture 4k, but I don't have a 4k monitor so wasn't able to test that), was plug and play with obs. Like with some other capture cards that include headphone monitoring and a line in, obs doesn't automatically capture the audio, you have to add it as an additional source. But unlike other similar capture cards (looking at you, razer), the audio still sounds great even using this approach. The line in also solved a separate issue I was having with audio from a GoXLR Mini going to a laptop, as I was able to run the line out from the GoXLR to the line in on the capture card to capture the audio. The rgb is a nice touch and looks good, though I'm not sure if there's any way of setting it outside of the controls on the card itself. EDIT: Figured out how to set the rgb, you can download the software for it from their website. Super lightweight and simple software. Overall, the card looks and works great and is probably the best option in the $100 price range.
Review: Works Really Well! - No perceivable amount of lag to the TV, however there is a small amount of delay when recording/streaming. Very easy to use, it just gets read as a USB camera, compatible with pretty much every Operating System, but you will need a Windows PC to flash the firmware. NOTE: Older USB standards (3.0 or below) will result in the picture just blacking out for a second every few minutes. I'd recommend a USB standard over 6Gbps (USB 3.2 or above). Other than that I have not experienced any other issues.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this capable with stream labs?**
A: Yes. It will work with any streaming software, this just helps you capture an external video source that you can add to your streams.

As for OBS vs Streamlabs, OBS Studio is the original software and more up-to-date with the latest features from the original devs. However, it requires somewhat more manual setup and tweaking.

Streamlabs is OBS in a more user friendly wrapper. The downside is that lacks features that the latest version of OBS Studio has, and if you need to adjust certain advanced settings sometimes they just aren't available.

**Q: Will this work with a cable stb?**
A: no it has copy protection detection and it is aggressive (wont even capture an ipad pro screen share w/o a device in the middle to strip the copy protection flags)

**Q: Do i need any software like obs to record or does the device automatically record into my laptops ssd?**
A: Yes, you will need to use something like OBS to record or stream.  You will just select the capture card as your video input device.

**Q: Does this work well on a PS4?**
A: This this should work fine on PS4. I have used it with no problem with my Switch and PS5.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ XR1 Pro
*by K***L on January 23, 2022*

****THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE BRAND NEW (at time of review) XR1 PRO, NOT THE XR1**** Little bit about my setup: Gaming PC > HDMI > Gaming Laptop (Stream PC) > HDMI > Onkyo AV Receiver > Television Gaming PC: Ryzen 9 5950x, RTX 3080 Gaming Laptop: Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3070 (Full Wattage) Tested only using 1440p @ 120 fps, HDR on, Color Space: Full/RGB I mainly bought this as an experiment as I didn't appreciate the fps loss I had (even with a 5950x) streaming from the same PC. The capture card has absolutely no lag, cutout, or issues I have run into. It strips out the HDR on capture appropriately with only minor color adjustments needed in OBS to match the HDR source in SDR. It requires no drivers, and the RGB software (download required) works fine. The main problem I have is that it does not come with a C-to-C cable (which I already had, and am currently using with the PD port on my laptop without issues) and instead comes with a 2x USB-A to 1x USB-C cable which (for me) was required to update the firmware (There is a day 1 firmware update) I tested streaming the following to Twitch @ 6000 kbps without any issues. Input source was 1440p and downscaled to 1080 via OBS on Lanczos scaling. Loading is of course measured on the laptop: 1080p60 (NVENC) - Super smooth as long as you keep the fps above 60 in-game, GPU encoder load was 40%, CPU load negligible 1440p60 (NVENC) - Super smooth but blocky on motion, again fps must stay high to keep it smooth. GPU encoder load was 70%, CPU load negligible 1080p60 (Software h264, slow preset) - Smooth and pretty high quality, not a huge boost over NVENC, but there was still improvement. CPU sat around 40% load, GPU 20% load 1080p60 (Software h264, slower preset) - Smooth but no huge improvement in quality over "slow." CPU load around 60%, GPU 20% load 1440p60 (Software x264, slow preset) - Pretty sketchy, basically maxes out the system, I don't recall it being super smooth either, but I think we're pushing it here, and twitch bitrate doesn't really work well with this resolution/fps combo anyway. Dropped frames were non-existent on any of the above settings. EDIT: I found that it DOES NOT downmix audio to stereo, making the need to reduce my review to 4 stars. If you need to downmix audio you will need to use Voicemeeter Banana and VBAN to downmix and send audio over network.
