I am looking for a video card that I will able to use for capping/encoding ice hockey games. What would be the best video card to use for this fast-paced game where much of the background is white?

    If you are trying to record video from a live tv feed, you aren’t looking for a video card, you’re looking for a TV tuner card. I can’t think of any commercial video cards out on the market which actually handle recording.

    I personally run an ATI TV Wonder 650 pci card and it does a good enough job. One of the top makers of TV Tuner cards and external TV Tuner devices is Hauppauge, I’ve heard lots of good things about their products as well.
