Capture Card Volume · Kuhaomi 26P and 27P (2K60 Tier) [Deep Dive]

One-line positioning: the 27P = the 2K60 card the author's official channel pushes most;

Last updated: 2026-10-06 (in-depth rewrite)

════════════════ 0. 30-Second Verdict ════════════════ [Who it's for]2K 60Hz/high-refresh display players; budget 600-800; console players (PS5/NS2) who want low latency [Who it's not for]4K display users (these two don't do 4K60, and upscaling will be blurry — "capturing 1080P on a 4K screen and upscaling is definitely still blurry"); anyone who needs HDR (neither the 27P nor the 26P supports it; for HDR pick the G50); anyone who needs VRR (only the G50 supports it) [In one line]the latency king of the 2K tier (10-12ms), at half the price of a 4K card — "if your screen is 2K, just get the 27P" (牛腩盖饭)

════════════════ 1. Kuhaomi 27P (the current main pick) ════════════════ [Specs and Tests]

• Positioning: a 2K60 USB card; latency: measured 10-12ms (the group owner's latest official channel figure; early in-group tests were around 16ms)

• RGB limits: "the 27P only has RGB at 1080" "at most 2K30" (the author); a user getting an error when selecting RGB24 is normal

• HDR: not supported ("So the 27P doesn't support HDR?" "Correct" — the author); alternative: RTX HDR in the software

• Cooling: has its own cooling ("the 27P has cooling")

• Power: USB powered, no external power needed ("no external power needed")

• VRR: not supported ("only the G50 does")

• The author's official channel "the official channel": a flat 15% of the purchase price back

• "2K60 recommendation - Michensen T800, Kuhaomi 27P" (2026-10-02 announcement) [Use Cases]

• 熊猫 (🐼) on NS2 playing The Witcher 3: "Tried The Witcher 3, super smooth, and barely any latency" "27P"; "buy it from the boss's the official channel" "you get

• terry li's estimate: "The 27P's raw capture latency is pretty low; hooking a PS5 up at 2K60Hz like this, plus DLSS 5 and frame generation, you can still land at 40-50ms total latency" → the author confirmed "Yes"

[Marketing vs Reality]

"NV12 only does 4K30" "RGB, 2K30, drag this guy out of here" (Hi); "the classic MJPEG '4K60' marketing" (Yoloッ)

[What's good about it]

"2K RGB is only 13ms"; a group test showed 10-20ms

• Cheap: 300-350 on Xianyu; "the 26P is quite a bit cheaper than the 27P used"; has RGB lighting ("a bit of an esports look")

• 26P vs 27P difference (the author): "The specs are about the same, they optimized some other things" "that's what the manufacturer told me"

════════════════ 3. ★Complete FAQ Troubleshooting Manual (Copy and Use) ════════════════

── Q1 [Frequently Asked]No sound when an NS2/console is connected — how do I set it up? [Standard path] (the author's own words to 熊猫; just follow it):

1. In Veyra, select "hdmi Kuhaomi" as the audio input

2. Audio input → "the capture card one" (select the capture card device) Quote: Likely7: "Select hdmi Kuhaomi" "Audio input" "The capture card one" → the user: "!!" "It works" "Thank you" [General note]Also select the capture card in Windows sound output; you need to enable "Listen" to hear it on the PC

── Q2 Selecting RGB format gives an error / it won't open?

• 27P: "only 1080 has RGB" "at most 2K30" (the author) — at high resolutions RGB is a bandwidth bottleneck, which is normal

• "Bandwidth bottleneck; even if you go to a 553G2, RGB is still only 4K30 RGB" (the author)

• Fix: use NV12 for SDR; if you want better color, use RGB at the 1080P tier; don't pick RGB24 at high resolution

── Q3 Does it support HDR? What if I want HDR?

• 27P/26P: HDR is not supported (the author confirms)

• Alternative 1: turn on RTX HDR in the software ("turning on RTX HDR works too" — Minions)

• Alternative 2: pay more for the G50 ("HDR needs the G50's spec")

── Q4 Does it support VRR? (a frequent question from NS2 users)

• 27P/T800: not supported; "only the G50 does it" (the author)

• Need VRR (NS2): choose the G50

── Q5 How do I choose between this and the T800/G50?

• Same tier (2K60): the 27P and the Michensen T800 are "both this number" (same latency tier), with a flat

• The 27P has cooling, the T800 doesn't (the author confirms)

• 4K needs: the G50; "if you want 4K60, look at the G50, the G50 also gives

• "For 2K, the T800 and 27P are actually plenty" "if your screen is 2K, just get the 27P" (牛腩盖饭)

• "The cheap Michensen T800 and 27P; the G50 is the higher-end one" (牛腩盖饭)

── Q6 Is the latency low enough? What can I play on it?

• About 10-12ms at 2K60 (27P) — one of the lowest tiers among the group's USB cards

• Reference total latency: PS5 at 2K60 + DLSS 5 + frame generation ≈ 40-50ms total (terry li's estimate, confirmed by the author)

── Q7 Should I buy the 26P or the 27P?

• If the budget allows, buy the 27P; the 26P only suits "2K screen + rock-bottom budget", and you have to see its "4K60" for what it is — marketing talk (in practice it only does 2K60/1080P60 HDR)

════════════════ 4. Pricing and Buying Advice ════════════════

• 27P: about the 600-700 range after the official channel's

• Purchase checklist: □ The monitor is 2K or 1080P (don't buy for a 4K screen) □ You accept no HDR (or substitute RTX HDR) / no VRR (for VRR choose the G50)

• Tested consensus: "for 2K 60 NV12, most USB capture cards sit at 10-15ms latency" (牛腩盖饭)

════════════════ 5. Selected Group Member Quotes ════════════════

• "The 27P only has RGB at 1080" "at most 2K30" "bandwidth bottleneck" (the author)

• "So the 27P doesn't support HDR?" "Correct" "HDR needs the G50's spec" (the author)

• "Tried The Witcher 3, super smooth, and barely any latency" (熊猫, NS2 + 27P)
