A capture card is an external piece of hardware you can plug into a system to record the output footage. There are a bunch of them out there with different specs and limitations.
I use a MiraBox CaptureCard HSV3211 card. It includes a loop-out port so you can keep playing the game on a tv while still recording it. You'll need to get a capture card, a couple hdmi cables, and make sure you have the right specs for the PC end to be able to handle the video writing.
