I fist posted this on the overclock.net crosshait vi forum.
I have a funny one.
I have an elgato gamecapture HD that I haven't in well over a year before I build my ryzen system, and today I was in need to use it, so I installed the game capture software, connected all that needed connecting and started trying to record something.
The fist thing I noticed was that the device was taking longer than I remembered it took to initialize (I used to use it with a surface pro 3) and once the device took off I noticed how the video was all choppy, like unwatchable choppy.
I thought something was wrong with the hdmi cables. So I tried several others but the video remained choppy.
Then I changed the decoder from the video card (1080ti) to the cpu but everything remained the same.
I thought maybe the device was defective, and to be sure it wasn’t the computer I tried it on my Surface 3, but the video on it was flawless, with the same capture settings.
And that’s when I became sure it was either a problem with the pc, or some software compatibility that elgato software had with either the cpu or the chipset.
This is when in a last attempt I started trying different usb ports on the motherboard, First I tried the back usb 3 ports, but the video still was choppy, then I tried the usb 2 ports, but everything was the same, then I tried the front panel usb 3 ports and all remained the same.
And this is when I remembered that my case had 4 usb 3 front panel ports and I was running two of them with a passthrough cable from the back of the computer and the other two were connected to the internal usb 3 port.
So finally I tried connecting the device to the one coming from inside the motherboard and voila, butter smooth video!
So, what gives, anyone have any idea what’s going on? Right now I’m running everything at stock.
