Hi,

I currently have a gtx 560 4gb memory in my computer and it runs all my games great in 1080p. However, when I record game play, I am forced to play at far reduced fps - to the point that I feel the lag. As such, I am wondering if there is a budget card (below $150 CDN) that I can purchase strictly for purposes of recording - or if there is a better idea. Moreover, I have samsung ssd 850 EVO, and an HDD of write/read 120mb/s

Help is greatly appreaciated :D

If you really want to use a second card, get another GTX 560 of the same model and set them up in SLI, will improve everything. While new ones are out of stock at most places and are priced high if they were not, you can get one from Newegg is seems for about $60 with some return options if...

For elgato's price, I could purchase a decent, low-mid range graphics card that would be able to record the gameplay, and if needed, serve as a backup. What I'm looking for, is a very cheap card that is just enough to record 1080p gameplay with.
Like an ssd running your OS and a HDD recording the video,

My gtx 560 will be the SSD, as I have no problems with it, and I need a graphics card that will serve as hardware for recording software.
