Elgato Game Capture Neo
A budget enthusiast-tier USB capture card that records 1080p60 while passing 4K60 HDR through HDMI in and out, making it a sensible value entry for console capture. It only records 1080p, though, so anyone wanting true 4K recording or the lowest-latency PCIe workflow should step up to a higher-end card.
