Hello,
Which motherboard do you currently recommend for building a high-end system with 4k cameras and replays?
The Gigabyte X299 Master board recommended on the website is no longer available on the market!!
Greetings Dietmar

for 4 inputs 4k60, many socket 1700 or am5 motherboards can do the trick.

all you need is 2 pcie slots on motherboard, 1 of which must be pcie 3.0 x8 minimum (ASRock X670E Taichi for example)

a graphics card on the 1st pcie x16 + 1 capture card with 4 in 4k60p on the 2nd slot pcie x8 (blackmagic 8k pro or quad hdmi card for example)

an i9 or ryzen 9 processor, ddr5 ram and ssd m.2 5.0x4 or 4.0x4

for example with an Asus ASUS ProArt Z790-CREATOR

pcie 1 = 5.0 x16 (x8) = graphic card
pcie 2 = 5.0 x16 (x8) = capture card 4 x 4k60p
pcie 3 = 4.0 x16(x4) = capture card 1 x 4k60p
thunderbolt 4 port (1) = external capture card 1 x 4k60p
thunderbolt 4 port (2) = external capture card 1 x 4k60p
USB 3.2 gen 2x2 (internal port) = external capture card 1 x 4k60p
USB 3.2 gen 2 (external port) = external capture card 1 x 4k60p

see motherboard manual, as some peripherals share the bandwidth.
it's in practice that you see the limits
