I bought 4k60 Pro Mk.2 even before I buy my new PC. lol
Me too lol😂
Same lol aha
Same 😐
Lol that’s what I’m going to do
😂😂😂😂
I never thought about overloading usb devices... did not expect to learn something like that here.. great job!
USB channels are limited =-(
Just got 4K60 S+. This thing is insane. A great new option in your already great lineup.
so how did you get this to work i hooked it up and nothing even showed on the tv screen or the obs
@@dbkkdb9664 have to turn of a setting in your console settings. It’s like HDCP or something like that
@@gabriel189 ahh I'll have too take another look thanks
Even with that, it wasn’t getting any signal. Same with my older HD60. Elgato is the worse when it comes to getting it right. A Mirabox got the job done with no download necessary. Geezus.
HELPFUL ADVICE: Because none of this stuff is cheap and it can be quite expensive to become a content creator, do yourself a favor and read this before buying anything.
If you're considering Elgato and you're fine with a max of 1080p60fps - Buy the HD60S. It served me well for a long time.
If you're wanting to go 4K - Shell out the money for the 4K60S+. There's no point in going 4K unless you can maintain at least 60fps with HDR. 30fps at 4K with SDR looks choppy and doesn't do a lot of these games the justice they deserve. I just bought this device today and the results are phenomenal in Elden Ring on PS5.
If you're considering Avermedia and you're fine with a max of 1080p60fps - Buy the Live Gamer Mini. It's probably the least expensive capture device that will do this.
If you're wanting to go 4K - The answer is the Live Gamer Bolt, BUT BEWARE, you MUST have a thunderbolt 3 port on your PC in order to use this device! *Do not buy it* if you don't have this port or at least intentions of installing an add on port with one. I learned this the hard way and had to send it back because all I had was a USB-C 3.1 port. They are not the same.
I hope this comment helps someone who is hunting and researching for the right capture device for their setup. I spent way too much time and money trying to configure a 4K PS5 capture setup over the past few days and I wish I had known the above mentioned at the start of my shopping. Feel free to ask me questions as well if you aren't sure about the kind of device you need for your ideal setup. I'm happy to help.
Hi. What's the difference between the HD60S and the HD60S+ ?
@@unicornonthecob4302 S+ will do 1080p60. Regular S will only do 30 fps.
@@LPDarkSoulsHD Ok thanks! Is there a Pro model too? I don't see it on their site...
@@unicornonthecob4302 That I'm not sure of, but I will say this: Get the S+. For the small difference in price, your production quality will be more than twice as good.
@@LPDarkSoulsHD Thank you for that advice. I will definitely get the S+ if it comes down to either that one or the S. However, now I notice one called the Elgato HD60 X, it's only $20 more than the S+ and seems to be better? I've tried to understand the differences, but I'm not really getting it. Do you know if the HD60 X is better than the S+ ?
Thanks so much for your help!
Still rocking the original Elgato Game Capture HD with the AV inputs, still works great for 720p 60fps streaming and recording older consoles like the PS3 and Wii
that thing was a beast back then, especially when people started to record PS2 footage in 1080p 30fps
I think another important factor is that the capture card should identify to the computer as a webcam device through the PCIe or USB bus, so the computer thinks you have connected a webcam to the computer. This makes the capture card more compatible with a vast majority of operating system (all systems that support connecting a webcam will be supported) and also makes the capture card compatible with all streaming and video editing software that are able to retrieve a webcam stream and use it. This also means you can stream your gaming session over Zoom or Teams if you want.
This was actually the best and most informative video i found on this. Great video.
This looks like that one guy that works for Corsair and goes to every twitch con event
Dont even have an elgato and this helped me SO MUCH! Thank you
It's like they're spending more time doing anything other than refreshing their stock.
They can't refresh their stock if manufactorers can't make anything due to a lockdown.
Get some perspective please.
@@ArtyMartyD NEVER!
Martin Bodger dude, they’re made in China clown....
try amazon instead of crying, el gato isnt the only company that holds these products
@@sweetgav9163 Which is locked down, clown.
When will the HD60s+ be available again and why isn’t sold on amazon?
You can buy it now I just bought 1
@@captainbirdseye11 Depends on where he is. For example, Amazon Canada does not have the HD60s+ available yet.
@@captainbirdseye11 saw one for 349 lol hell nah
@@captainbirdseye11 Ebay has them for the low price of $300-350 lol might as well buy the $399 4k60
I just happened to be on Best Buy app over 2 weeks ago and snagged a HD60s+ and I had been looking for a Camlink 4k but for $216.00 USD this will do
I just ordered my 4K60 Pro MK.2 and can't wait to go nuts with it when it arrives, maybe I will start doing gaming reviews.
So when are you going to start
Bro never uploaded
It would be nice if you guys could make a video on how to set up each capture card and if you want to stream how to set it up (example: 4k60 pro with chatlink and streamlabs)
Thank you so much for this breakdown on all your capture cards. I was originally going to go for the HD60 S+ because I don’t know much about the PCIE alternative.
I have an extra slot on my rig so I’ll be going that route instead. Will be getting the 4K60 Pro MK.2. Again, thank you everyone over at Elgato 🙏😊
I need this to record 2005 DVDs into digital files
You urgently need to improve the software and the problems that Elgato 4K60 S+ has, I bought the product and unfortunately regretted it, but I will wait for software improvements. Please Elgato, improve this!
What problems are you talking about?
@@liamplaysstuff7956 there’s lots of glitches in their software, like mic not reading, gameplay not showing, stuff freezing, etc
@@liamplaysstuff7956 mine won't work with 1440 60 fps it's bs
I have the OG Elgato Game Capture HD, I still love it. I don't really feel like upgrading
Edit: I now have an HD60 S+, after since I got an Xbox Series X, I would need it, and one of the AV Cables on my old Elgato doesn't work anymore
which cables are needed to connect a wii to pc?
@@itsjonathan_x9691 you'll need the AV in cable for the Elgato Game Capture HD which has your component for the Wii, and you'll need the HDMI out
Be even better if anywhere had the S+ in stock -_-
Not gonna lie, there are so many cheaper options now. Elgato is ripping people off hand over fist, especially for the low end options. Picked up an EVGA capture card for 45 bucks, that is just as capable as my hd60s+
no distribution in ukraine i cant offer this from amazon and wait 3 weeks.
3 weeks only? LOL
ukraine lol
Can't wait for My elgato 4k60 s + That it finally arrives🥰😍
May I ask what you plan to do w/ it? console, camera what?
Same question
@@lark9497 record Gameplay but IT has a lot If Bugs
thanks for this breakdown of product/platform and performance.
already bought the 4k60 pro mk2 and dont regret it furture proofing ....but this is excatly what i would have been looking for to buy back in march 👍
Thanks for this video, very informative!
Though I must say, I'm disappointed that the 4K60S+ isn't compatible with Mac.
lol Mac streaming?
@@peterpetrarca4691 Macs have no problem streaming. I use mine as a stream computer just fine. It's gaming where they have issues.
Is it compatible with ps4 slim?
@@iblackz5416 if you're connecting the HDMI output from the PS4slim to the elgato it should be fine.
@@thenetimp thank you
Thanks, now I know what card I want to get. Wasn’t sure till I watched this.
thank you very helpful, would love a video with a brutally literal step by step on how to get videogame stream and camera stream to show up on youtube at same time, you folks make great videos
I wish elgato would come up with a cap card that will allow you stream Old retro consoles like Nes, genesis, snes, Gcube and so on along with newer consoles. I just found out that my elgato hd 60 pro wont take any composite or component links even with adapters.
Yes I have I will be upgraded into one of your Elgato capture card once I get hundreds of scriber
Great video, so informative. Thanks
Why do videos when you can’t get them.
This is why we love u guys. Supper helpful
elgato is so good at describing their products
I have the 4k60 pro Mk1 and I hate not having HDR passthrough it's so annoying. That's all I really want, should I get the Mk2 for the added HDR passthrough or should I drop the extra money for a 4k60S+? I mostly record but do stream from time to time, I was thinking Mk2 seeing as it's cheaper and similar hardware to what i'm already used to, but was wondering if anyone had an opinion of the 4k60S+ betting better in any way.
It's really a disappointment that the elgato 4k60 s+ can only record 1080p and 4K, I really don't know why 1440p isn't accepted.
Amazing I love videos like this when I'm so so confused but with 1 video I found my answer and I didnt have to cross reference threw all these videos
Soooo the 4k60 pro mk.2 will work with PS5???
I have the original Elgato HD still the good old days! but I have the HD60S+ now
right now? any card will do lol once they're back in stock. don't help when your so called distributors on amazon over inflate the prices so damn much.
This. Amazon UK has been sold out of the cards for over a month. Every day I check in vain for news of my 4K 60pro
oh I saw this inflation and the fucking sales taxes oh hell no it brings the price up about by 20 dollars ore more as if you're already not getting fucked! So I went on Ebay and got one for around 269.00 ish fair price in my opening I would have paid 280.00 or more on amazon EFFF that shit!
Why am I still watching these videos I’m too poor
There is a 1080p USB device that works great for those who are too poor for Elgato. I just avoid Elgato because I'm allergic to cats... jk
I'm using 2 laptops. To maximize quality gaming on one laptop, I want to capture and record to the second laptop. Which option would be best for me?
anyone who has a laptop but is interested in the PCIE capture cards, you can get something called a thunderbolt as an extension and connect the PCIE capture card to it. Idk how well it works but ik it’s an option I’m looking into myself
Thanks you solved my confusion.🤗
My biggest request is since the og gamecapture is discontinued is for s new method of capturing retro consoles or wii or ps3 all all consoles that cannot be captured through hdmi without a work around alot of retro systems can produce a very clean RGB signal but would require upscaling which would be the most amazing thing for consoles like snes n64 playstation or gamecube
Why doesn't the hd60s install on windows 8? The whole process has been a nightmare
😍😍 A Elgato lover from India 👍
this video solved abosoulty nothing doesnt explain why the 4k60 s+ doesnt work on a computer when you set it up it doesnt even show the game play on the tv
Will there be a new card where I don’t have to install it in to a pc so I can game on the ps5 doing 120fps. Because the hd60s is capped at 60fps?
Make sure to have a look at aspect ratios in the NVIDEA control panel, along with downloading the Sound Capture software for dual PC (PC > PC) streaming!!
I’m trying to install the software I go to the website I click on select your product and select your system and nothing happens please help me!
Worth it if you want to record and stream older consoles, this new ones have recording and streaming included
I am happy with my HD60 Pro honestly
I just need one of these for the poke blink method haha so I guess I can go for the cheap option but it’s cool to know the differences in case I ever feel like streaming a high video quality game
I have the HD 60 since 2016, for me it's good. No necessity to buy an new one.
May I ask what all you do w/ it? I wanted something I could use to hook an cannon m50 up to my computer. Then again, maybe i need a different camera. It was the one most recommended
So your HD60 is an older one. I agree, If it isn't broken don't fix it or get a new one. I'm hoping what I go w/ will last a log time.
@@lark9497 I only use it to record Nintendo Switch games and PC recording, without an webcam, cam-link or an OBS extension.
I guess it may work with more things, but I think you should research if you wanna buy it for what you want.
@@ThatSquidYT Thanks. That is what I have been doing. I just found out last week when I was ready to order the m50 that it had issues for what I wanted it for. In order to use it like I want, I have to turn off auto focus which defeats the purpose.
@@ThatSquidYT could I use that to record gameplay on xbox 1?
nice video but the who line up is still confusing.
Agree
@@Soulcommander looks like it helps if you decide initially whether you want usb vs pcie now or in the future (laptop, mac vs desktop) then work up a decision from there. camlink and camlink4k and camlink pro are similar except for resolution and number of ports as the pro has 4 I believe). the camlink lineup works good for cameras because they get detected as a webcam on the computer. if you are connecting a console or second pc and playing on tv and not your monitor then capture card would be better option as you can pass out the signal from the capture card so console > capture card > tv. at least this is what I gathered from all these videos.
Hallo,
vielen Dank für eure 4K60 + !
Das Ding ist gut. Ich habe sie gekauft weil mein Laptop zu schwach ist. Dank dem SD-Support kann ich nun jedoch aufnehmen.
Sehr cool !!! Dieses Produkt sollte weiterentwickelt werden, da es aus meiner Sicht viel Potenzial hat und ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal besitzt.
Verbesserungsvorschläge schicke ich per E-Mail. :-)
Macht weiter so!
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

Thanks for the informational video regarding HD60 series.
If you publish a video for smartphone gaming that will be great because most people trying to stream from their phones.
This dude seems to love trains going in his station🤣
Capture cards are awesome how ever they do create input lag. When I brought mine I immediately noticed it and regardless of what Elgato or other people say I have tested it for myself and have found there is. It's noticeable and annoying also the sound lags and has weird stuttering.
Hello Steggy, (hope I spell your name correctly), I want to be able to use my Dell lap top for stuff where I'm recording away from my desk, and I wan't to be using my desk.
I recorded a board game video using my Dell Laptop and Logitech 922 cam, but I had to struggle w/ it a bit. The web cam kept auto focusing too much. I had to really edit the final part. I think it may have been my own lack of knowledge there, but instead of playing w/ that, I've decided to go up to something better that is more portable like a mirrorless DLSR cameral. That way I can take pictures when I'm out and about to use, rather than just in my house which the web cam restricts me to.
I've been working on computer games since then, but at some point I want to be able to use a camera instead of the web cam. I've been looking at different mirrorless DLSR cameras like the Cannon M50, because i was recommended, but I'm seeing videos where it doesn't have a clean HDMI video out. I was really hoping one of your products would do that, but you didn't mention it. Even if the camera didn't send it like that, I was hoping your product could.
My desktop is still running 2.0 for the USB and most of the Elgato products are 3.0. I'm wondering how hard this will be to sort out.
I am running win 10 with a Geforce GTX 980 video card. I know it has on board memory but I can't remember how much.
I also have an i7-3770 cpu. Not sure if that matters or not.
I already have your Stream Deck (15 button) and I love it. It has endless possibilities for programming. Anyone that doesn't have one should seriously consider getting one. I picked it up orginally to use w/ recording and obs. I just have to make sure obs is active and push a button w/o going to obs. As I understand it, there will be a lot of possibilities for streaming too.
I looked at CamLink but it has been sold out for over 2 months on Amazon. Wasn't even sure if this was what I needed or not.
I also, have an X-box, I might record from. Plus I'm looking at streaming at some point.
So I'm not sure I fully understand which I need.
If the internal has clean hdmi, then it's what I need but will alienate using my lap top. I don't have the money to get the wrong thing.
Whoever read this 🤡
Jesus....
When your headset is plugged in to the HD60s, can other people still hear you in game?
Zallitz no you’ll have to get a chat link cable from Elgato
Excellent video bro ! Bro can you make a video how to connect elgato hds 60 plus laptop to laptop please
Why the elgato hd60s keeps disconnecting while recording and also on live streaming?
So happy the 4K60 S+ exists. I have a PC I'm building, but I have it at a certain location, so I can't just take it to other places with the capture card. Luckily, I can just connect the capture card to my device and record from there without a PC having to be there. Just one question: Do these cards only work on new gen consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One, or can they work on older consoles like the Wii U or Xbox 360?
I like the Razer Ornata Chroma
getting hd60s+ soon for pokemon
I need to be friend with Steggy from Elgato. I have a bunch of Elgato stuff and I need to soak up the knowledge like a sponge
As a youtube gamer I use Elgato cards a lot 👍🏼
i can use the hd 60 + whit for dual pc and use cam link 4 k for streaming in the same time on obs
About to build my first gaming/ streaming pc for around 600 so I'm planning to aim for the hd60 pro as a start off
By HD60 Pro do you mean HD60+?
Thanks, Steggi - Thumbs Up
I use elgato everyday to stream :) I’m wondering how to change the size of my gameplay window when streaming. I can change the size of webcam and pictures but never the main game screen? Help
you can change it easily from streamlabs obs
Hello i have a question for the Mk2, i want to stream my pc gameplay.
do i have to have a second pc to be able to stream my game
or can I stream my game without having a second computer?
Thank you! And...what about having multiple cam angles? What kind of setup do you recommend?
Since 2016 I have the HD60. For me as a casual player that records Nintendo Switch and PC I like it and I don't see the necessity to buy another one or the newest one. I don't see the problem with the delay or the 4K.
Hi does elgato captures game sound as well from mobile??
I buy a Mac. I buy a Xbox One. PreAmp Scarlett. $450 Mic. AND I buy a Elgato HD60 S, why? Because I thought this was the top of the line. Only to find out there is a S+ for a extra $20, but they aren’t sold on Amazon. Everything I’ve heard is that of it’s not the S+ it isn’t going to work on my 2018 i7 6-core MacBook. Can Elgato allow me a trade in? Oh and they’re all sold out, perfect. Just perfect. Beyond annoying.
The S line needs to be completely removed. Without 4k passthrough on the S+ there is literally ZERO value in the S series. Fucking elgato idiots
I am really struggling with the choice of the next updates to my stream setup.
I am using right now a dual PC setup (gaming rig 9900K with 2070Super + streaming rig 9900K with a 980Ti) and be nearly happy with it.
My streaming rig will capture the gaming through the HD60 Pro.
Since I upgraded my screen and be able to game in 1440p with 165Hz and G-Sync I often have problems with tearing and offsync cause of doubling the signal to the HD60 Pro.
Now I want to upgrade but what will be really the best choice? I think the interal PCIe card 4K60 Pro?
why record with obs using the elgato and not just the elgato and the game capture software you download?
am i missing something
Everyone saying it's out if stock, go to currys online and I'm getting the 4k60 pro mk.2 because I needed a recorder as mine was glitching
GPU EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra gaming ...... what capture card would you recommend??
Hi. Thanks for the info. I have a question. I sim race and am using a triple monitor set up 7680 x 1440. Would the HD60s+ be suitable for capturing this resolution/ game play? I'm happy for the stream to go out as 1080 but obviously still want to use the triples my end.
Question: what capture card should u get if i have a desktop for gaming and a laptop for streaming??
I bought the 4k60 pro but after watching this im confused as to which one i should have or be using for my specific set up. Any help???
So is the Camlink still being produced or is it end of life?
The HD60 S+ that I just got doesn’t work at all on my new MacBook Pro M1 … it keeps saying I need USB 3.0 when I know it is a USB 3.0 like what’s goin on so disappointing …
I take it the HD60S+'s USB-C port shouldn't wobble and wiggle when you put the USB-C cable in? Nor is it supposed to make clicking noises when it wobbles around I take it? I got the HD60S+ to work once with my Switch, streamed for 2 hours and then the next time I went to use it, it gave me laggy, choppy footage without audio. I really hope it's just my copy that's defective since when it worked the streaming was silky smooth.
I still using the Elgato HD60
funny cause when i plug hd60s in it crashes every 10 mins and says needs to be connected to 3.0 but you know, elgatos product work so good
I watched the video but want to be sure, I want a Internal PCle capture card the can record anywhere from 1080 to 4K and be able to record 60 to 120hz
Hello I’m on a single pc setup and I play on a high refresh display that uses a display port . Do you have any devices that take a display port input?
Ahmad Habib curious on this as well
No. All hdmi. When you want to record set your monitor to hdmi. When you want to play in high fps switch the monitor to display port.
My dear brother s I bought hd60s plus elgato capture card . I want to connect primary laptop 1 to laptop 2 I want to use laptop 2 as monitor can any one help me
Hi, I have a question: Which among the cards mentioned would give you the lowest FPS drop possible when recording while gaming? I run a single PC setup at the moment at 1440P 144hz however, recording and gaming at the same time(without capture card) causes 10-30fps drop. I just want to know what my possible options are to be able to record with the lowest FPS drop possible for my benchmark channel here on youtube. Thank you very much.
Did you figure it out? Planning on buying ELGATO 4K60 S+ OR ELGATO HD60 S+. Which one did you buy?
