Hi all,

I want to get into streaming Smash 4 on a more regular basis, however I have had bad luck with capture cards and equipment, the software my last one had didn't sync up with my Twitch account properly so I ended up returning it. I'm trying to do it again now, and i'm looking for a card that will work with OBS software and won't break my bank. I found this one on eBay for about $70 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Video-C...0-PS4-WII-U-/161709474889?hash=item25a6a2c449). It's around the price I'm looking to spend for sure, but I'm not familiar with the brand or this card itself at all. I'm wondering if it's worth it? How well it works? Does it work with OBS?

Also i'm open to suggestion for alternatives, I'm really hoping not to have to spend more than $100 US for this thing.

Thanks Guys!

If you want a reliable capture device, the Hauppauge HD PVR 2 sells for under $100 on eBay. I've also seen a few auctions for the Elgato Game Capture HD end at under $100. If you look around, you may be able to find an AverMedia Live Gamer Portable Lite for under $100 as well.

The elgato was what i had before and I paid full price for it just to find out that the software that it came with wouldn't sync with my twitch account and, I have read that the avermedia one doesn't work well with OBS but you are the second person that has mentioned the hauppauge HD one, i'll look into that one.
