Good value capture card with minor issue

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 6, 2021

For what it is this is a pretty decent capture card. The only issue that I have with it currently is the fact that it stops recording on occasion and it took me several hours of searching to find out that part of the reason it does is due to low power. Like the capture card is still on and working but it's not capturing video if it's not plugged into USB 3.0. even using a USB hub that is 3.0 itself and independently powered does not seem to work unless it's plugged directly into the 3.0 ports on the computer. So occasionally I have to unplug and replug the capture card. Resetting it doesn't work it has to be power cycled. I use streamlabs obs and it's possible that it's an issue with streamlabs but I don't think it worked any better with twitch studio. Even when switching games, or themes it requires a power cycle to properly record.

For 100$ i expect more...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2021

So, I Stream To Twitch..I've used a single PC setup for years. I Recently wanted to try and up the quality of my streams and have redone most of my hardware to complete my goal. I also wanted to remove some strain from my rtx 2070 super so my games ran more smooth at a higher FPS while streaming, So I setup a second pc and began looking for a not to pricey but reliable name capture card. That is when I found the EVGA XR1, On the surface this is an amazing deal 4k passthrough, 1080p60fps capture, obs certified plug and go type setup and I'm all for easy plug and go.

I received this item in the mail set it up got it running and began toying with it and getting all my stuff setup to use it the same night it came in, And then I noticed this weird outline on everything that was being displayed by the capture card, I started doing advanced setup in obs testing different Video Format, Color Space, Color Range...to no avail some of these options actually made it worse, I then used the option in obs for cameras/capture devices to deactivate and reactive the capture card, effectively turning it off and turning it on again. That Some what helped but the outline is still there...I'm not sure if this is because the item is defective or damaged or what is the cause of this issue. I have contacted EVGA to inquire about this I attached the same image and video here as I sent to evga to show the issue and see what can be done. I would say this item is a steal at this price point but with the issues I'm having with it and the lack of any information at all about this item aside a few reviewers talking about it on youtube, I can't even think to recommend anyone buy this product. I will update this review if EVGA gets back to me and I find out if i have a defective item or if this is just how this card works.

***Edit***

After contact EVGA sending photos and videos first response was they couldnt see what I was talking about but it was clear on screen second email to them circling the issue in question was found the item was doa and artifacting, they have processed my rma for a new unit. I will update the review once more when the new one arrives.

Works exactly as described

This device works exactly as they say it will. The added benefit of having 4K pass through without having to disconnect cables is amazing! Obviously you can’t capture at 4K but you can simply press the knob AND set the device to 1080p and then you can capture. I noticed no display lag when capturing. I hooked up a Kinivo HDMI switch before this on the input side so I can now capture a Switch, xbox, or the PC (screen 2) without having to swap cables around. The RGB is nice and it has a mirror finish on top.

The only cons I can think of is the device is kinda light and plastic-y. It doesn’t feel like it’ll break so that’s not super concerning to me.
Also, It does require 2 USB ports, one of them at least usb3.0 (3.1 or 3.2 should work fine as the USB group hates it’s customers with the constant renaming of the same ports!)

At the $99-$129 price point it can be found for it is an amazing deal!
I’d not hesitate to buy another to use as a dedicated camera capture when I upgrade from a webcam to a DSLR or similar with HDMI out.

How to fix the black screen

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

I was having problems with only getting the black screen and there wasn't anything in the support about it. On your video card settings, there are some settings that you will need to change in order for it to work. First is turning off HDMI Link assurance and then turn off HDCP. Restart and its good to go.

It this a cheaper version of the razor ripshaw indeed. For more in detail review youtube videos has it covered . But if u hate using cable splitters when gaming on console than this will due. I still am pro elgato but this does what it is meant to do. One very annoying feature is even though you do not have the mic plugged into the mic port it will still capture the mic sound and sent it through stream or even game which is very weird and inconvenient.

For less then $100, it's a good buy

Easy to setup and works well, It's a great item to pick up. just know the limits because marketing for this guy was overzealous and hyped this guy too high. It's not a good as an Elgoto or avermedia but at half the price it's well worth it.

I love this thing. It is more delicate then the elgato but it syncs better than my elgato with no crackling noise unlike my elgato. Doesn’t need any special fluff ware works with obs studio
