Razer Ripsaw HD

A beginner-friendly USB capture card that records 1080p60 while passing 4K60 through to your display, making it a straightforward HD60 X alternative. It's aimed at streamers who want clean 1080p output without giving up a 4K passthrough monitor. Think of it as a competent entry option rather than a high-bitrate or 4K-capture choice.
