Capture card stuck at 60hz on some cards with higher passthrough

Level 5
So I tested some cards and it seems that some cards do not play well with the Rog3 and probably by extension Rog5. For whatever reason the Phone thinks the capture card cannot go beyond 60hz.
Cards that will run 120hz+ are the El Gato 4k60 pro and ASUS RUF Gaming Capture CU4k30, however other more generic brands seem to struggle with the Rog3.
I already messaged @Gustav_ASUS about it and hopefully the devs will figure out whats going on, however until then do proper research before buying a capture card.

@Danishblunt Are you able to force 1080/120 on the capture card, or is it dynamic (and up to the device to negotiate which mode to use) ?
Cannot force 1080p 120 since the rog3 is stuck at 60hz.
The capture card will only allow 1080p120 on 120hz + signals. Simce rog3 is stuck at 60hz it doesnt let me select beyond 60fps.
What I mean is, can you set the capture card to 1080/120 before connecting a device like the ROG Phone 3?
If not, and correct me if I'm wrong, you're saying that:
ROG Phone 3 set to 120 Hz -> Connect phone to the capture card -> ROG Phone reverts down to 60 Hz.
correct. it reverts to 60hz.
turns out I can record 120fps even tho input is capped at 60fps/60hz. So it records 120FPS but probably doubles the frames due to half the FPS.
So yeah, it's absolutely the Rog3 at this point.
@Danishblunt Got it. Can you get back to me with the brand and model of the capture card that does not work like you expect it to?
Its a generic 240hz passthrough capture card. It has no brand on it. Just tell the devs to get any generic 240hz passthrough capture card, they are all plug and play and work the same way.
All the card says is 4k capture card but its probably working the same way as this one:
any non elgato or avermedia card should work the same as my generic one. So the devs can get whatever non elgato/avermedia card they can find to test it.
@Danishblunt Can you help out with a device log as well for the team to compare results with? I'll send you a PM.
I mean ull need to send the PM also I'm 99.999999% sure logs won't do anything to help
