The video quality is crystal clear at 1080p 60 FPS, and there’s zero noticeable delay when I’m playing or monitoring my capture. I love how compact it is and that it doesn’t need any extra drivers or complicated settings. It handles both my console and PC gameplay perfectly, and my viewers instantly noticed the boost in quality. If you stream on Twitch or record gameplay often, this capture card is 100% worth it — smooth, reliable, and professional-grade results every time. Read more

FIX: Hope this helps! So if you are using a webcam to stream and a capture card you need to make sure they aren’t on the same USB drive as they conflict and both try to take priority as a camera and only one will work. If you put them in different slots on the PC they will work. I streamed and this Capture card is absolutely amazing. The quality is great for picture and sound! Let’s begin here. I was extremely excited for this product as many streamers swear by it. Well when it works. The thing is, is that you need to go to the website and it doesn’t tell you exactly what to download or what’s required as there are many products. I eventually found out you need The 4K capture utility software. I got everything plugged in and it seemed promising.. I logged into my streaming sites and boom my game appeared. Everything’s working fine. Once I began going through all the options and the quality seems amazing along with the sound. No lag and the picture quality seemed great! Now here’s the problem. Once I gena streaming this box started disconnecting and reconnecting freezing my stream and cutting out the audio. I had to keep plugging it in and out, to get it going again. Then my webcam began doing the same. After HOURS and I mean hours of researching online, Google, Reddit and TikTok there was little to no help. I made several changes to my PC settings. I also confirmed it was in a USB 3.0 port. My PC is fully capable of handling this Capture Card. After about 3 days and over 20 hours of research with no progress I decided to return this box.. I also saw many other streamers experiencing this for well over the past year with no fix. I even bought a Powered USB 3.0 dock as I was made aware that this Capture Card is very demanding and some issues was that it overloads the PC. This did not even fix it. I tried to stream again with the new Powered box and the Elgato HD 60 x continued to disconnect and reconnect while my other devices remained stable and active. I tried deleting all the software and re-installing it all. Tried different ports and better quality HDMI cables. NOTHING WORKED. For being a $150 box I expected so much more and ease of use.. I’m really disappointed because when it decides to work it seems absolutely amazing but once these issues started they became frequent and un-fixable. Pros: Good quality when it works Cons: Directions Power driven (hard on PC’s) very demanding even for lower quality gaming. Bad support Appears software isn’t being newly updated on site. Didn’t work Read more

I've been using the Elgato HD60 X for a few weeks now, and it has been a game-changer for my streaming setup. The capture quality is excellent smooth 1080p60 recordings with almost zero lag thanks to the passthrough feature. Setting it up with OBS was effortless, and it works perfectly with my PC and iPad. The build is compact and sturdy, and I love that it doesn’t require extra power. It’s ideal for live streaming fast-paced games like Call of Duty Mobile The only limitation is that recording is capped at 1080p60, even if your game runs in 4K. For me, this isn’t a problem because my streams are in Full HD, but if you want 4K recordings, you might need a different model. Overall, highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, low-latency capture card for streaming or recording gameplay! Read more

Very easy to set up this capture card and the quality is basically perfect, but occasionally drops frames. OBS shows no skipped frames from encoding or rendering lag yet there are still input frames being missed that are fine on passthrough. The Elgato 4K Capture Utility is complete garbage and I would not recommend using it, OBS can do everything that software can including HDR recording if you set it to P010 and 2084 PQ (and change the advanced output settings appropriately). Another issue I have is that even with buffering this capture card occasionally will have audio dropouts for a fraction of a second, and the audio is frequently out of sync. The audio quality itself is great and the dropouts are only about once every 15 minutes so it's a very small issue. Overall this is a great capture card even if it does occasionally drop frames, but if you want perfect output you will need a PCIe card. Read more
