If you are in the market for a capture card it seems like two brands really dominate the market, Elgato and AVerMedia. Personally I’ve used an Elgato capture card for years and I’ve heard great things about AVerMedia products. Well it seems as if ASUS wants to enter this market as they have released two external capture cards or “capture boxes” as they are calling them. The one we are looking at today is their flagship unit which is the TUF GAMING CAPTURE BOX-4KPRO. This small capture box has HDMI 2.1 connectivity offering HDR passthrough video support of 4K up to 144 Hz, 2K up to 144 Hz, and Full HD up to 240 Hz. You can also stream / record from the box itself at 4K up to 60 fps, 2K up to 120 fps, and Full HD up to 120 fps, all through a plug-and-play USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection. Let’s take a look and see what the TUF GAMING CAPTURE BOX-4KPRO is all about!
