Capture Specifications
The SMUGDESK Torpedo Nova is a USB 3.0 video capture device that records 1080P footage at 60 frames per second. It targets game streamers, content creators and remote conference users who need reliable HD acquisition without frame drops.
Installation Notes
The UVC and UAC plug-and-play design works on Windows, Mac and Linux without extra driver installation, so setup is usually straightforward. Problems can arise if the host port cannot deliver full USB 3.0 bandwidth or if long HDMI cables introduce signal degradation that the onboard chip cannot fully correct.
Pre-Purchase Checks
Verify that your source device outputs an HDMI signal compatible with 1080P 60fps capture and that your computer has an available USB 3.0 port for the 5Gbps link. Confirm your streaming software supports standard UVC video and UAC audio classes, and ensure you have 3.5mm cables if you plan to use the microphone input or headphone monitoring jack.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the Torpedo Nova is capturing 1080P at 60 frames per second in OBS?
Open OBS, add the device as a video capture source, then check the resolution/FPS readout in the properties panel — it should show 1080P 60fps; the USB 3.0 5Gbps link and onboard chip guarantee stable delivery at that rate.
What comes in the box and what must I provide myself?
The package includes the capture card with its integrated HDMI loop-out and 3.5mm microphone plus headphone jacks; you supply the HDMI cables, a USB 3.0 cable, a microphone and headphones or speakers.
Should I choose this model for 4K recording or only for 1080P 60FPS streaming?
This unit records at 1080P 60FPS; the HDMI loop-out passes 4K 60Hz to your monitor for zero-latency play, so pick it when your streaming target is 1080P but you want full 4K local viewing.
