Solve : Help with Elgato Game Capture?

Answer» <html><body><p>Hi there,<br/><br/>My son has an Elgato game capture card but we do not have a laptop that <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/works-17618" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WORKS">WORKS</a> with it. The required system requirements are:<br/><br/>Windows 7, Windows 8 or later<br/>• 2.0 Ghz (or higher) dual core CPU, or 2.0 Ghz (or higher) multi-core i3, i5 or i7 CPU<br/>• <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/sound-250993" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SOUND">SOUND</a> card<br/>• 4GB Total Installed RAM (or higher)<br/>• Built-in USB 2.0 port<br/><br/>Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced laptop that meets these requirements?<br/><br/>Many thanks<br/><br/>FenboyinspainAccording to online reviews I have seen one person state that they had this running on a Pentium D capturing 59.96 frames per second. So processing power for this capture <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/device-11244" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DEVICE">DEVICE</a> doesnt have to be overly powerful. I think the biggest concern will be what games are played on the laptop to make sure that the CPU and most importantly the GPU is rated high enough to play the games. Pretty much any new dual-core system <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/2ghz-300372" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 2GHZ">2GHZ</a> or faster with HDMI connection would work best with this device. The biggest concern is the games to be played to make sure you have a laptop that can play those games as well as potential of some future games that may demand more than the bare minimum of a current game so that your not stuck with a laptop that lasts 2 years and then having to buy a new one because the GPU is too weak.<br/><br/>When it comes to gaming I always suggest a desktop computer as for generally to support a longer lifespan of gaming its usually just a matter of upgrading a video card and keeping with the rest of the original computer. Desktop computers for gaming last on average 4 years before there is a real need to upgrade CPU or replace the system, and depending on the complexity of the game, a game such as World of Warcraft can still run on a 10 year old desktop if needed, although video settings may need to be set to below normal to have 30-40 frames per second. If playing <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/older-1130466" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OLDER">OLDER</a> games, then just about any newer laptop or desktop should work, however before buying one run by us the make and model and what games are to be played on it and we can state if its a good match or offer a similar better model etc.Thanks Dave, great info.<br/><br/>As it happens, he plays the games on XBox and only uses the Elgato to 'capture' the info which he then puts on to You Tube.oh ok... what type of budget do you have and is this laptop going to be used for any gaming or just web surfing and checking e-mail?</p></body></html>
