Damn, i would love to invest in a capture system for this.

A few friends would love to test their cards with FCAT.... And i bet that here in Brazil, there's no reviewer willing to do something like this.

Maybe in a near feature. Those 650 MB/s are INSANE. :eek:

Obviously, for capture analysis you don't need to write full frames - it just shows FCAT system is functioning properly.
For example at 1600p you could write every single frame for analysis with only vertical colored information, frames could be 1 pixel wide and 1600 pixels high.
That would be around 300 KB/s ... if you use 4 bit color (as those colored bars are in the first place) it would peak at 50 KB/s :laugh:
