I'm looking at capture cards with VRR support. Currently I found the following:

  • Elgato HD60 XE

  • Elgato Game Capture HD60 X ^ not sure if it supports a high refresh rate gameplay, two articles contradict each other on this

  • EVGA XR1 Lite

  • EVGA XR1 Pro

  • AVerMediaLive Gamer Extreme 3 ^ probably doesn't pass through higher framerates


Which one from the above could work best with ROG Ally? In terms of features and also connectivity.

You can also provide other examples. I care about VRR and higher FPS pass through (just for my gameplay, recording at 60 FPS is of course enough)

Dealing with USB-C connection may be an issue - Ally has only one USB-C, used for power and everything else. Hubs nearly always have only one male usb-c (connecting to your device) one usb-c for power, and nothing else. I haven't found any hub which would let me connect ROG Ally with power supply, and an additional USB-C device.

 

I'm a content creator (playing PC games on my Ally). Currently I decided to look into capture cards that support VRR. So far I've come across the following options:

  • Elgato HD60 XE

  • Elgato Game Capture HD60 X < I'm unsure about its compatibility with high refresh rate gameplay since two articles contradict each other on this.

  • EVGA XR1 Lite

  • EVGA XR1 Pro

  • AVerMedia Live Gamer Extreme 3 < It probably doesn't support higher framerates.

If you have any other examples, feel free to share. I'm particularly interested in VRR and higher FPS pass-through for my gameplay. While recording at 60 FPS is fine or course (YouTube won't let me upload anything higher anyway).

Dealing with the USB-C connection might be problematic since Ally only has one USB-C port, which is used for both power and other functions. Most hubs usually have only one male USB-C port for connecting to your device, one USB-C port for power, and no additional USB-C ports. Unfortunately, I haven't found any hubs that would allow me to connect ROG Ally to a power supply while also connecting an additional USB-C device.
