Capture card 30fps

[Fauh]

My capture card won't reach 60fps when using it in obs, I have no idea why. When I bought it, it clearly said 1080p 60fps, but it only runs at 30fps

what brand capture card? this may be an issue you will need to take up with their support.

 

[Fauh]

It's some off brand capture card I found online called NESTSA, but the description said it supported 1080p 60fps and the reviews where not bad

The log show it is capturing at 60fps

Try enabling hardware decode for it.
Also, fix the mismatched samplerate Digital Audio Interface (2- USB3.0 Audio): 96000 Hz and set it to 48Khz
This is done on the driver itself or in the windows sound manager.

Ok, so I enabled hardware decoding, but it won't let me change the sample rate to 48Khz

I found this video of the exact same capture card I'm using, apparently it's called DIWUER. I think this proves there's an issue on my computer's end and not the capture card itself, but I still have no idea what it is exactly that's causing the problem

The cheapest capture cards money can buy... are FAKE! $50 "USB 3.0" 4K Capture Card works on Linux

This "USB 3.0" 4K HDMI video capture card is yet another LIAR and a FAKE. This is just a USB 2.0 capture card pretending to be 3.0. Buuut it does actually ha...

why do you suspect that it is not capturing at 60fps?

 

[Fauh]

Here's an example

1080p: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMmaq1ZbnT0&ab_channel=FauxMirror
720p: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idLh6_XS8rQ&ab_channel=FauxMirror

You can clearly see that when I record at 1080p it doesn't reach 60fps

 

[Fauh]

So... you think there's a way to fix this?

720p: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idLh6_XS8rQ&ab_channel=FauxMirror

You can clearly see that when I record at 1080p it doesn't reach 60fps

The recordings are at 60 FPS.
If you mean the game have issues, yes.

it is likely a problem with the capture card. i have seen this with other low priced capture cards. they just are not quite powerful enough to do 60fps at 1080p but will at 720. Because these are low priced capture cards there is not a lot of quality control at the manufacturer level. so while someone may get one that is perfect there will also be many of them that are just not very good. i have also heard that they are really usb2.0 which would limit the bandwidth significantly reducing quality.

well damn
