Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2 PCIe Capture Card

I was able to record 4k 60fps including HDR 10 no problem on PS5 console. Yes, I use OBS Studio to livestream which worked fine, though it took me awhile to figure out buffering issue which can sometimes lead to video choppiness by using Streamlink via Elgato 4k Capture Utility to deliver most accurate preview while recording/livestreaming on OBS Studio though it greatly increases CPU utilization. Unfortunately, it’s limited to HDMI 2.0 which has bandwidth limitation which results 4k 60Hz at 4:2:2 Chroma Subsampling; in other words, it has to compress some color data to conserve bandwidth while maintaining 4k 60fps. Other than that, I recommend this capture card if you’re planning to record 4k 60fps including HDR 10 for PS5 or Xbox Series X|S console.

Bought this product so that I could easily play switch games on my computer, 1 day delivery and great price compared to other stores. Easy set-up, however when I was playing my switch games my screen would freeze whilst my game was still running every 5mins and I would have to close and reopen the app to fix it. I kept searching for solutions and nothing fixed it. Then I decided to buy another usb a to c 3.0 cable after days of trying to fix. And finnaly it fixed. The cable must of been faulty that they gave, none the less more glad I could use it and its a great product to use, hope this review helps any others who may have experienced same issues

It is surprisingly easy to setup…plug to switch, plug to TV, plug to PC, download app, and done.

only gripe is the capture interface, it captures everything, including the record button, time elapsed etc… hopefully there’s a way to tweak that i’ve miseed…

anyway its a good product.

I had the old Elgato HD60 and this is for sure a great upgrade in terms of quality, speed, etc. My voice comes out very clear on commentary and it doesn’t skip out randomly like the old one. The video can sometimes have little moments of blurriness, but overall it’s great. The only thing that I was shocked to find is that u cannot adjust the volume of the gameplay! U can adjust the volume of the microphone…but it sucks when u wanna have the sound of the game…but just have it lower in the background. I couldn’t believe it didn’t have that feature! The old one did so I just assumed. Maybe it’s more of an issue with the 4K utility software…and maybe they’ll update that and fix it. That would be amazing, but as of now, it sucks. I couldn’t believe something so simple would not be available! I don’t do a lot of that kind of recording…but if I did, I would have had to return it. U can’t have the gameplay sound be all loud and drown out the sound of your commentary. Elgato: PLEASE FIX THIS IF U CAN!!!

i needed a proper capture card to record and/or stream console content to online platforms.
this was a financial stretch, but ive def future-proofed my setup. 1080p60 (resolution/refresh rate) is the sweet spot for capturing and recording content for myself and my audience whether live (stream) or in comments (uploaded recording), so this card allows for that and more such as variable refresh rate (dynamic adjustment of the refresh rate to reduce tearing and stutter) that the latest consoles feature.
setup was easy as there’s an hdmi out (to the display), hdmi in (your source) (console) and a usb type-c interface to connect your capturing setup (the hd60 x) to your computer to reproduce your gameplay in software to stream live or set up to record. those three ports, couldn’t be easier. the manufacturer have proprietary software you can use to capture the source content or you can use others, but i found the original application to be robust enough to do everything other solns do but look a lot better and give that sense of confidence everything you’re doing is supported and compliant.

useful for Switch streaming (PC)
