Does anyone have any recommendations for capture cards that support 120hz/1440p and won't cost me an arm and a leg?

Question

I use an Elgato HD60+ S that I've had since 2020 in order to get my Switch feed and audio through OBS. As you're all aware, the Switch 2 supports 120hz but unfortunately my capture card *does not*. Now it hasn't been too much of a problem since there aren't too many games that actually run at 120hz. However, I have played a handful of games that do including Cyberpunk, Majogami, Metroid Prime 4, Mina the Hollower, ect. It's just kind of annoying since anytime I want to play a game that supports 120hz on my monitor and still get the volume through my headphones, I need to unplug my HDMI out of the capture card and into the monitor and then I also means I can stream my feed when I'm hanging out with friends in Discord.

So yeah, I just thought I'd ask around since I'm sure I'm not the only one who has my dock connected to my monitor and enjoys getting the most out of the console and the high refresh rate that my monitor supports. I'm totally fine with knockoff brands as long as it works, so if you know of some obscure brand that gets lost in the shuffle of all the more established brands of capture cards, then I'd be all ears. Thank you in advance to anyone who can give me any kind of recommendations!
