EVGA XR1 Lite vs Elgato HD60s Quality Comparison -No Commentary-

I could not test the HDR capabilities of these cards as I don't own an HDR display.

The EVGA XR1 Lite is by far the cheaper of the two options. It is around half the price of the Elgato HD60s. The only issues with the XR1 Lite is, you have to go to EVGA's website to download the HDCP Control application in order to shut off the HDCP block. You can also update the firmware.
Go here: https://www.evga.com/support/download/
-Click on the "Other Products" Tab
-On the "Category" tab click "Capture Device"
-Click on the "Type" tab, and at the bottom there should be an option that says "HDCP Control for XR1 Lite"
-Download the software for your Windows OS, and run it. Windows will give an error message, run the program anyway.
-When you run the program, uncheck the box that says "HDMI Rx HDCP KEY" save and exit, and it should display PS3 and PS4 games now in OBS for you.

Overall, I would say there isn't much of a quality difference between the two cards, which means the XR1 Lite is an excellent budget option. The sound on the video used to become unsync'd after a while, but I updated the firmware, and I changed my OBS setting to record at 60 FPS, and even after a half hour of recording, the sound was still in sync in this video. If you're doing voice over work with it, sound sync isn't as important than if you are doing longplays, or gameplay samples.

If I didn't already own the HD60s before I bought the XR1 Lite, and I was looking for a great budget offering to record 1080p, the XR1 Lite at $60-$90 would have been an excellent choice. If you're on a budget, and want to do this YouTube thing, the XR1 Lite is a great choice for game capture.

Note: The first half of the footage is using the HD60s' sound, the second half of the video is using the XR1 Lite's sound.
