This part alone, with every other slot assumed generous and a platform that allows the tier. Your build's real verdict is the lowest ceiling across all its slots, which is what the configurator computes. Conservative planning budgets, not measurements: methodology.
Our take on the GENKI ShadowCast 3 Pro
The GENKI ShadowCast 3 Pro is a USB-C capture card with HDMI passthrough, for streamers who want to play on one screen while streaming from another.
The tracked price is $89.99, the top of a $76.49 to $89.99 range across three points from August 26 to October 1, 2026. That is $13.50 above the low, so a short wait is worth considering.

It has four ports: HDMI in, HDMI passthrough, USB-C capture and passthrough power. The listing lists consoles, Nintendo Switch and Windows PCs. Rated 4.0 across 46 retailer ratings.
