I heard the Elgato HD 60 Pro has hardware encoder H.264? so if i buy it for 1PC streaming, would it help with CPU usage?
Most ppl told me a capture card will not help with live stream performance for a 1PC setup. But if the Elgato card has hardware encoder, then wouldn't it help?

Also, is there a better quality capture card with hardware encoder for OBS? Like any card from Datapath brand? black magic? matrox? etc...? money is not an issue.

None of those will help you and all of them will offer you less quality per bitrate vs x264.

The elgato's hardware encoder is EXCLUSIVELY for the elgato software. No other software can use it.
