Capture Card Volume · Michensen T800 and T900 (2K60 Tier) [Deep Dive]

One-line positioning: the 2K60 card the author's official channel pushes most; the T900 is the same series and the author calls it "no difference";

2K60 latency 12-15ms, no heatsink, no VRR/HDR support. Last updated: 2026-10-06 (in-depth rewrite)

════════════════ 0. 30-Second Verdict ════════════════ [Who it's not for]4K displays (no 4K60); anyone who needs HDR/VRR (neither is supported); anyone who needs good cooling (no heatsink) [In one line]"The cheap Michensen T800 and 27P; the G50 is the higher-end one" (牛腩盖饭) — one of the two 2K-tier champions,

════════════════ 1. Specs and Tests ════════════════ [Michensen T800]

• Positioning: a 2K60 card (the author: "The T800 and the 27P in my official channel are about the same, but neither of these two does 4K60")

• Latency: measured 2K60 12-15ms (the group owner's latest official channel figure); early in-group tests were around 16ms (the author: "For this 2K60 latency, the Michensen T800 and the Kuhaomi 27P are both this number"; 牛腩盖饭: "The T800 and 27P are at 16ms latency" "He went out of his way to test it at an internet cafe")

• Cooling: "The T800 has none" (the author confirms there is no heatsink) — the 27P does have one

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

• Power: USB powered

• Difference from the T800: the author's answer is "no difference"

• User case (阿莫视觉): "Why can't the capture card capture 4K60, and what the hell is that 3840×1080 in there." After following the settings checklist in Chapter 4, Q2, the user "got it working"

• Before buying, confirm the specs with the author (it comes up rarely in the group)

════════════════ 2. The Three 2K60 Siblings Compared ════════════════ | Item | T800 | Kuhaomi 27P | Kuhaomi G50 | | Latency | 12-15ms | 10-12ms | 35-40ms (4K60 NV12) | | Resolution | 2K60 | 2K60 | 4K60 NV12 / 4K30 HDR | | RGB | 1080 tier | RGB only at 1080 | Yes (4K30) | | HDR | Not supported | Not supported | Supported (4K30) | | VRR | Not supported | Not supported | Supported | | Cooling | None | Yes | Yes | | Best for | 2K displays | 2K displays | 4K/NS2 | (Table values come from in-group tests and the author's figures; refer to the actual purchase page)

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

── Q1 [Frequently Asked]The T800 goes black when set to 4K/4K30 capture and only 1K works? [Case quote]红莲yuchi: "Is there any way to change the resolution? When I set 4K30Hz capture it goes black" "Other settings go black too" "It only works at 1K resolution, way too blurry" "Did I plug the HDMI in backwards?" [Cause]Wrong wiring (HDMI IN/OUT swapped) + the card doesn't support 4K in the first place (2K60 is its ceiling) [Fix] (the author's step-by-step troubleshooting, in his own words):

1. "IN is the one the PS5 comes out of" "The PS5 outputs over HDMI, right? You plug that into the IN port"

2. "Then if you want another display to show the PS5's original picture, run another cable from the OUT port to that monitor" "That one is passthrough"

3. Verify: "Open OBS and see whether it captures" "I have a T800 right here, there's no problem with it"

4. Remember: the T800 does not support 4K — don't pick a 4K format; 2K60 is its sweet spot

[Standard answer]Follow the "阿莫视觉" PS5 settings checklist (that user replied "got it working" after following it): "1. PS5 console settings (set the console first!) Settings → Screen and Video → Video Output · Resolution: 2160p (4K) · Refresh rate: 60Hz (do not use Auto / 120Hz) · HDR: Off (off during setup; turn it on as needed once stable) · RGB range: Auto Settings → System → HDMI · Turn off HDCP (critical — if it's on, the frame rate gets locked / you get a black screen) · Audio output: HDMI, sample rate 48kHz" [Note]"3840×1080" is a non-standard display mode (a group member: "that one's wrong, it has to be 2160"); if it's still abnormal, cross-check with OBS

── Q3 No sound — how do I set it up?

• In Veyra, select the capture card device as the audio input (see the 27P path: "select hdmi Kuhaomi / audio input / the capture card one")

• In Windows sound output, select the device with the same name as the capture card and enable Listen (see Chapter D of manual 01)

── Q4 Does it support HDR/VRR?

• Neither is supported (HDR "needs the G50's spec"; VRR "only the G50 does it")

• HDR alternative: RTX HDR in the software; need VRR: switch to the G50

── Q5 How do I choose between the T800/T900 and the 27P?

• Same tier, same latency (12-15ms vs 10-12ms — effectively the same level)

• The author's line: both are the 2K60 recommendations; "for a 2K screen the T800 and 27P are plenty"

── Q6 Will it work with a 4K display?

• Not recommended: "If you have a 4K screen, then you capture 1080P and upscale, and it's definitely still blurry" (the author); for a 4K screen, go straight to the G50 (4K60) or a PCIe card

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

• The official channel's main pick; "confirm receipt on the T800, then ask me for 15%"

• Purchase checklist: □ Once it arrives, test latency at 2K60 NV12 first, then try upscaling/frame generation

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

• "For this 2K60 latency, the Michensen T800 and the Kuhaomi 27P are both this number" (the author)

• "The T800 and 27P are at 16ms latency" "the boss tested it before" (牛腩盖饭)

• "What's the difference between the T800 and the 900, boss" → "No difference" (the author)

• "I have a T800, there's no problem with it" (the author, troubleshooting the black-screen case)

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

This Update (2026-11-05)

• Don't buy the old model: the old model's colors are wrong (the author 11-03).

This Update and Expansion (2026-10-06 – 11-05)

Fixes and Reminders

• I don't have a T900 on hand; I only have the T800 and the T911 (the author 10-12)
• Your X7 Pro, and the 27P and T800, are all Gen1 (the author 10-13)
• 1. T800 2K, 2. 27P 2K, 3. T911 4K (the author 10-15)
• My T800's colors are off too — the dark areas are so dark you literally can't see anything (乌乌不是鸟 10-23)

Group Member Quotes

"Go dig up a T800 on Xianyu; mine arrived yesterday and tested out pretty good"

— 胡图图(回复慢多敲敲) (10-15)

"The ones that can't are the T800 and T900"

— Likely7 (10-20)

"That seems like a bit of a loss; the T800 can probably do it too, but I haven't tried P010 — I tried NV12 60 at 2K and then upscaled to 4K, sharpness was about 80%, and then I figured if GTA 6 works out like that I'd be losing out on native image quality, so I switched to the T911 anyway"
