Are there capture cards with such low latency you can use them to game through a computer? - eviltoast

I have a few consoles setup on my desk and I think it would be neat to be able forgo switching inputs on my monitor.

It could be useful for setting up a picture-in-picture system and using the inputs in EmuVR to play non-Retroarch consoles like my Xbox 360 and original Xbox.

Is this feasible? I would be fine playing at lower resolutions. I have attempted it with a cheap Ali Express HDMI to USB device but the latency threw a wrench into that idea. I am wondering if a more capable capture device could be the answer.

Also would my graphics card play a big factor? I have 1070ti so I feel like it should be fine.

    Yeah… tend to agree - it’s doable but OP would be reaching for some fairly hectic gear to solve a pretty small problem. Consumer monitors with PIP definitely exist and would be cheaper.

      They seem pretty hard to come by from what I’ve seen during sporadic searching

        Not really… just a slightly higher end of gear, most of dells professional series will do it from memory, the gigabyte on my desk does it.
