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 for]2K/1080P 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)

════════════════ 1. Specs and Tests ════════════════

  • Latency: measured 2K60 12-15ms (the group owner's latest official channel figure); early in-group tests were around 16ms

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

  • Power: USB powered

[Michensen T900]

  • User case (阿莫视觉): "Why can't the capture card capture 4K60, and what the hell is that 3840×1080 in there. My capture card is a Michensen T900" — the group's analysis: 3840×1080 is an abnormal/passthrough display mode ("that one's wrong, it has to be 2160"), and 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 ════════════════ | 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) ════════════════

[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"

── Q2 The T900 can't capture 4K60 / "what the hell is that 3840×1080"? [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)

── 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 ════════════════

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

Fixes and Reminders

  • I'll buy one of these 573s too and see how much better it is than my T900 (阿莫视觉 10-09)
  • I don't have a T900 on hand; I only have the T800 and the T911 (the author 10-12)
  • The Michensen T900 can capture 4K30 NV12, which should be enough for GTA 6 at 4K60; native 4K with no upscaling, turn on SDR-to-HDR, NR at one layer, VFG on medium with 2x frame generation, a 5070 Ti should hold up (杜晓 10-14)
  • I tried it at 2K yesterday: the T900's native HDR capture only gives 1080P; with upscaling on and SDR-to-HDR off, still one layer of NR and VFG on medium, it's not as good as capturing 2K60 NV12 with HDR off on the PS5 side and upscaling off but SDR-to-HDR on in the software — that's the stable setup (杜晓 10-14)
