Is the GENKI ShadowCast 3 Pro good for streaming?
The GENKI ShadowCast 3 Pro is a capture card for streaming builds, tracked at $76.49, rated 4.2 out of 5 across 40 retailer reviews. On its own it supports up to 1440p60 (2K), which needs about 9,000 kbps on the wire. Nothing here is lab-tested by us; that ceiling is a planning budget from our published model.
