Our take on the Loya Ark Streaming Capture Card
The Loya Ark Streaming Capture Card is a low-cost HDMI capture card with 4K pass-through, aimed at a streamer on a very tight budget. At a tracked $18.99 it sits at the bottom of its $18.99 to $21.99 range since July 4, 2026, so there is little reason to wait.
It passes 4K at 60 Hz to your screen but records 2K at 30 Hz, so the stream will be smoother on the monitor than on the recording. A 3.5 mm mic input handles commentary. The retailer rating is 3.7 across only 23 ratings, a weak track record.
