hi i got a elgato 60hd game capture and it says that it requires at least a 2nd generation Intel Core i5 CPU. I have a 4th gen i3-4005u 1.7 ghz, 3mb L3 cash laptop. I need to know if i can use this or do i need to buy a new computer with an i5
 
Solution
Chances are good your i3 is just about fast enough. 6th gen i3's are faster in every respect against 2nd-gen i5's so 4th gen i3's are probably not far behind even in the worst case.
