Update: Turns out using Nvidia's NVENC with OBS Studio actually works really nicely.

Something I have been noticing recently is that a lot of games performance dips when you try to record them on Linux, so I am wanting a solution for my other Linux PC to capture the video, what should I be getting?

I should note my budget right now is literally zero, but I am hoping next year I may be in a position to eventually buy something.

What I would like, is recommendations on solutions to capture video/audio from one Linux PC on another, so whatever it is needs great Linux support.

I borrowed my girlfriends Elgato USB device hoping to pipe it into OBS Studio, but it's not even supported by the reverse-engineered open source effort, sadly. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: TobiSGDHaven't tried them, but these devices claim to be Linux compatible and are not that expensive:
http://www.magewell.com/usb-capture-hdmi (~240€)
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/intensitypro4k (~190$)

I have been used Black Magic Intensity Pro 4k already, and return it.
It's full crap. Don't do same mistake like me!
Crap software and crap device.
Only info abaut this device is great, but in reality - its crap!
Cannot record anyting without great CPU load and also any record have bad quality. For Win maybe it's a good, but for Linux ... it's much better to use you'r CPU or GPU for recording than this crap device!
I'm looking for Magewell now. They should release some new product soon.
