    Why do you have a capture card but can’t run games in FHD? Both GPUs and monitors for it are cheaper than capture cards.

      This is a Nintendo Switch game. I didn’t buy my capture card to take screenshots, I got it to record my gameplay. I realised happened to realise I could get better screenshots than the built in screenshot button the Switch has, so have been taking screenshots using the capture card now.

      The Nintendo Switch can do Full HD 1080p, but Tears of the Kingdom unfortunately only has a resolution of 900p since the console isn’t all too powerful. So the base canvas of the image is 1080p while the actual resolution of the game is at 900p. Think of it like a 1080p screenshot of a 900p image.

          Nah, The Legend of Zelda is a Nintendo franchise, and Nintendo is well known for only releasing their games exclusively on their own consoles. There has been the very rare case of a Nintendo published game coming to PC, but they are never ones made by Nintendo themselves. For example, Daemon X Machina and Bravely Default II were originally Switch exclusives that later released on PC, but they weren’t made by Nintendo, only published by them.

          You can technically play this game fine on PC at 4K using a Nintendo Switch emulator program such as Yuzu or Ryujinx if you have a powerful enough PC, but it isn’t official.
