Buyer rule
Start with source, passthrough, and host path
Start with motherboard slots, GPU clearance, case access, capture format, passthrough format, audio input, driver support, and airflow.
PCIe capture card prices
Use PCIe capture when the streaming PC is a fixed workstation
PCIe capture can keep the desk cleaner, but it adds case, slot, driver, airflow, HDMI, audio, and service-access constraints. Use these lanes when the capture setup will stay in one machine.

Risk
Avoid solving capture while breaking the signal chain
The common mistake is choosing an internal card without checking PCIe slot spacing, GPU size, case clearance, and cable exit path.
