The consoles aren't left out either, as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X both are geared up for 4K/60 and HDR as well. The latest graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD, like the GeForce RTX 3080 and Radeon RX 6800 XT, now include all the muscle you need to start running games at that level.
Now, the hardware you need to take advantage of those cards has become a lot more abundant. Some of the best gaming capture cards have been offering impressive capabilities with 4K/60Hz recording and HDR. You can even find some that'll let you combine a video feed from a camera with your game footage, giving you an all-in-one solution for streaming with a picture-in-picture video of yourself.
Some capture cards are ideal for PC gaming while others work well with consoles.
