Overview

The Fifine AmpliGame capture card is an external HDMI video capture card that connects to a PC over USB 3.0. It has a white chassis with RGB lighting and sits in the entry-level class. It is meant for capturing PS5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch gameplay on a PC for recording or streaming in OBS and similar software.
In short, it is an easy pick for anyone who wants to start Full HD recording and streaming on a budget. Note, however, that the capture resolution in the spec sheet is 1080p, so this is not a 4K recording device. The 4K figure (4K/30FPS) applies only to the pass-through that sends the picture on to your TV or monitor.

Compatibility Guide

Setup takes three cables. Plug the console's HDMI output into the card's HDMI IN, run HDMI OUT to your TV or monitor, and connect the card to your PC with a USB 3.0 Type-A cable. The HDMI and USB cables are not included, so you need to buy them separately.
Supported sources are PS4, PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC, and you can also capture a laptop screen. It supports Windows and Mac, and the plug-and-play design means you are not expected to install drivers. It works with common recording and streaming software such as OBS Studio.
These are the points where people most often run into trouble:

  • Use a USB 3.0 port on the PC. A USB 2.0 port or an underpowered hub can make the picture unstable.
  • Some consoles, the PS5 among them, can give a black capture screen because of HDMI copy protection (HDCP) or HDR settings. If nothing appears, review the console's video output settings.
  • The 4K/30FPS figure is the pass-through output only. It does not mean you can record 4K footage.

Product Info

The spec sheet lists a 1080p video capture resolution, 4K/30FPS pass-through, HDMI and USB 3.0 Type-A interfaces, Windows and Mac support, and 9 RGB modes.
Check the retailer's page for the latest price.co.jp as of October 13, 2026. Prices change with sales and stock, so check the product page for the latest figure before buying.
The 9 RGB modes are switched with a button. They have no effect on capture performance, but they help the card blend into a white-themed desk. For warranty terms and included accessories, check the sales page.

First, beginners who want to start streaming. You only connect cables to get an image in, so it suits people who are wary of gear with many settings.
Second, people who record PS5 or Switch play and edit it into commentary or guide videos. If Full HD recording is enough for your purpose, the card covers what you need for the price.
Third, people who want to play on the TV or monitor and use the PC only for recording and streaming. HDMI OUT lets you split the picture to both.

Pre-purchase Notes

The most common misunderstanding is reading "4K" in the product name and assuming 4K recording. The card only passes 4K through; what it captures is up to 1080p. If you want to save footage in 4K, look at a higher-end model with 4K capture.
Next, no cables are included. The card is useless on arrival if you do not already have an HDMI cable and a USB 3.0 cable. Older cables may also affect how well the 4K pass-through works.
The Amazon listing also names AmpliGame as the manufacturer, so compare the images and title on the product page with the Fifine product you intend to buy.
Finally, latency depends on your PC, software settings and USB port. This site does not measure it, so there is no data to say it is low. For genres where input lag matters, such as fighting games, play on the pass-through monitor and use the PC image only for recording and streaming.
