Question 1

Rephrasing a previous question, why do the product images seem to depict a PCI-E x1 interface in contrast to the specification of PCI-E x4?

Accepted Answer

The marketing is misleading. I just bought one and I can confirm it's a MK.2 because it's the small-form-factor, but it actually has a x4-sized connector. It even shows the correct form factor and connector on the box it came in. It's almost as if they photoshopped the HD60 Pro's image to say "4k60 Pro".

Question 2

If I did not wanna run a Dual PC setup to stream would it be better to buy this?

Accepted Answer

This will only help if you have another HDMI device that you want to capture (console, camera, etc). It receives the incoming stream, but there is still software transcoding happening that will put stress on your CPU. If you do not have an external device requiring capture then this is a waste of money. You would need to buy this however if you were to use a second pc to stream.

Question 3

i have a cpu lower than ryzen, that means i can't use this? i have the FX series amd cpu

Accepted Answer

You could still use this, but with degraded performance and you wouldn't be able to run anything else at the same time. You should probably look into an upgrade for your PC before buying this 4K capture card, your computer probably would struggle to even play a game at 4K@60hz on a modern title.

Question 4

Why does the PCI-E interface in this product’s images appear reversed?

Accepted Answer

It's only using a single lane so it does not need the full x16 interface. It is correct, just very small.

Question 5

Is there a PCI-e riser cable for this card? Also, can it be mounted vertically in a case? Reason being I plan on installing it in a main rig, alongside a full-size GPU, both vertically, for video capturing & streaming purposes. Any suggestions recommendations welcome. THANKS !!!

Accepted Answer

Any PCI-e riser cable will work for this card. You will have to buy one separately and it can be mounted vertically of your case allows for it.
