Capture cards
High-performance capture cards for video passthrough with ultra-low latency
Do you have to buy one? No. Steam Relay carries the same video over your network for free. But it runs OBS and a plugin on your gaming PC, which every UDP-based 2PC setup does, so it is unsafe by design. A capture card is pure hardware and leaves your gaming PC untouched. That is what you are paying for.
Already have a capture card? It will most likely work. TipsyAim works with almost any capture card that Windows sees as a video device, USB or PCIe, and picks the best format by itself. Any card that captures 1080p will run, and 240 fps gives the fastest reaction. The two below are the ones every build is tested on. See the second PC requirements too.
