The delay isn't from the difference in Hz (i.e. 144 Hz vs 60 Hz). The delay is because the PC gaming signal is being passed through the Elgato HD60s device.
Using just OBS preview I go from a butter-smooth 143fps (capped), to like 118 -125, and it feels like I lose g-sync too.

Hey when recording gameplay on a ps5 with the Elgato HD 60 s+ is it still possible to play in 120fps even tho the Elgato would only be recording in 60fps? Because I have the original Elgato HD Capture card from many years ago and immediately when I plug it in, it caps my ps5 frames at 60fps because that’s what it’s recording at. Is there a work around that with these newer Elgatos or even that old one?
so this work around is for pc as for ps5 i think it can only go as high as your capture card allows there is no way that i know of atm that can superseed what your ps5 allows it to display you can try to go to 120hz in the settings if it allows it then it should work at 120hz but most of the capture cards are set up as 60hz and so it may only allow max of 60hz thats the issue with console gaming to stream pc unfortionately
The blue hue can be from it being picked up as another monitor so it's like tricking the system and you may need to adjust the color vibrance the stream was like 480 cause there was a bit of latency and stream lag with this method as well as audio desync

Ok I think I understand. You are putting a preview of your 144hz monitor on the elgato monitor then you record that. So it's like an indirect recording. This is a brilliant idea but it seems like there would be a little bit of lag. Thanks so much. I'll come back if it doesn't work.
ya i stated there is a small delay but they resolved this issue with current updates to elgato's software but this still is a work around for some games as it still hasn't been patched in some games
I just bought a PS5. I have an Avermedia Live Gamer Mini capture card which I purchased last year for my switch to display audio whilst playing through my PC. I don't have any interest in streaming whatsoever however I can't get my PS5 to go into 120hz at 1440p when running it through the capture card but when I go directly from monitor to PS it works like I expected. Do I need to change my capture card for it to work and if so, please give me some recommendations of good capture cards as I want the problem solved ASAP. Thanks for reading.
So let’s just say I have a Elgato hd60s I plug it in my gaming pc and my 165hz monitor and I plug it into my recording computer which is a mac why is it capped at 60 FPS and is there a way around this
i have issue but i dont know if its same as you.i only have single monitor and pc.i am using elgato hd60s.i cant play game at 1440p,since i have only one display i use duplicate screen option.when it forces my games to go 1080p.any solution?
Obviously you need to buy a 2nd PC and connect a monitor to the 2nd PC. But why bother if you are using an Nvidia or AMD GPU in your PC? Simply use each GPU card's software to record PC gameplay. If you can't figure this out on your own with all the TH-cam tutorials out in the wild, then PC gaming is not for you.
Hi Lion. I really need your help man. Been researching for almost a week now and i just can't fix the blackscreen inside streamlabs on my laptop. Don't know what to do anymore lol im desperate. Everything is perfectly setup but it's just not working i really dont understand why
This should work with any capture card? I think that i will buy the Razer Ripsaw HD that have passthrough 4K for consoles but i don't know what about 1440p 144hz
You are the man thanks for this video it helped me alot! :) I got only 1 question: Your Elgato "Monitor number 2" did you made it 1440p or is it normal 1920p? :)
so they have since fixed this problem it no longer does this this video is old but if your still having the problem but it should still work using this method yes
can elgato be used to play ps4 games through the pc just for the convenience of the color controls in the graphics control panel... I dont want to use it to livestream or record.. just to play
@@Xxlionxx5150 thanks. I hate to keep asking questions but do you know of any budget 60 hz monitors with a bigger variety of video controls that ate similar to the ones in the color control panel with nvidia

If you're not going to use the Elgato software to capture video via the buffer record functionality, then there's no point to recording PC gameplay via Elgato capture device + OBS. You're better off using Nvidia's Shadowplay via GeForce Experience OR the AMD GPU software equivalent.
Dude i have a question. How did u Connect ur 2 PC's with the capture card?? Im looking now forward to buy a capure Card (Elgato HD 60) for my streaming pc because the Quality of NDI is not so great in fast FPS games. My gaming PC runs on 144hz my streaming pc will run on 60 fps. How i connect them both with the elgato without the loss of 144hz gaming?
theres two ways of hooking it up so really it comes down to your set up. the capture card is the connection between the two devices so basically way it works is you go hdmi out of your graphics card to the capture card, then you attach the usb to the streaming pc, then you can if you want to monitor whats being seen through the capture card or only have one monitor run an hdmi out from the out port of the capture card to a monitor. the other option however if you do not need to see that display or you play on a high refresh rate monitor you can basically run a display port to your 240hz monitor set up the elgato as a second monitor(windows does this automatically) and clone your display what this does is basically if you have a hd60s it takes what otherwise would have locked your monitor at 60hz to allowing you to still play on your gaming monitor at 240hz but it will capture at 1080p 60hz or in my case 720p 60 hz cause it doesn't make sense to stream at 1080p
For everyone, I'd highly recommend using an old version of OBS to avoid screen tearing and way less CPU usage, make sure to disable hardware acceleration, then you can use streamlabs on your second PC.
saw141 Oop, I forgot to edit the comment. I would highly recommend you install a software called obs.live it's made by Streamelements. You launch it as Administrator and make sure it's on your main monitor. Minimise it and use a second monitor for chat etc
its going to be a little choppy i bounce back and forther between obs and stream labs because one week one works better than the other just how it is with the drivers and updates
anyone who reads this, I managed to do it with one display. Easy. Took time to figure out but it worked. I’m going to do a video on it, less than 5 mins. But if you need help comment
@@xfunnyman310x make sure you’re Elgato is connected to you’re monitor, as well as you’re original hdmi, or display port (I play with a display port) and then go to control panel, display, and make sure the primary display is set to primary from which you are displaying the Monitor on, and then the second one number two, right click and clone. If you are still struggling I have a video uploading tomorrow, a 5 minute video showing step by step how to do it. Took me ages and I was ripping my hair out lol, annoying, but I managed to do it and it was easier than I thought. I had to figure it out on my own because I couldn’t find a video that explained it clear enough... and step by step straight to the point
xxlionxx5150 the game has to be played in full screen though which is probably the information I was missing haha but video was informative none the less cheers
I'm still confused with this. Does the output from the Elgato need to be input to its own monitor? Do i connect it to the monitor I'm gaming on? When I do that I get essentially 2 monitors coming out of the same screen.. When I try and separate them I can no longer choose the Elgato has a source..
ya i mean if u don't have the monitors i have then ya it will only show one but it should show atleast the elgato and the one monitor if everything is plugged in correctly and drivers are installed correctly
black bars is caused cause the game can only run in 1080p but your on a 1440p ultra wide monitor so basically the pixels extend further then the minimized screen you've created i recommend running in your native resolution to resolve the issues instead of 1080p or downgrade the monitor
this makes absolutley no sense. the whole point of the elgato is that you dont "capture" the game in "software". So you capture your game with obs (software capture = slow) and then send it to elgato (hardware capture = fast) and then you encode and upload on a laptop. with this setup you can just encode and upload on your current pc and scrap the laptop. its not that cpu tasklng at all. the capture process is the hard part.
its basically leaving your elgato or any capture card as a separate display and then u follow the rest of the video this also works for high refresh rate monitors that your capture card may not support i currently have a 4k cam link as a capture card and a 1440p 270hz monitor and went back to this because it wasn't allowing for my monitor to run correctly with the capture card and kept giving me a dx11 crash issue so this projection option now allows me to stream with minimal use of my cpu to run the projection to the capture card it uses far less resources then actually streaming on one pc would i do have a new avermedia 4k ultra on the way that should support the high refresh rate so this will be going back to being obsolete i believe but this works for all capture cards and is a work around as as these higher refresh rate 1440p monitors come out they are having issues because if your a streamer it's not being supported by the capture cards
@Marcus R Yes exactly, the whole point of a capture card is to get your display and audio onto another computer so your gaming computer doesnt take the strain of streaming and gaming at the same time
That's because your elgato should not have been your source. "Display Capture" or "Game Capture" Should have been your source. Then you just "Fullscreen Preview" to your elgato monitor.
Hi guys, I am looking to buy elgato capture card for my dual PC streaming setup. I'm watching youtube videos all day for bypassing 60hz gaming monitor and game on 165 hz 1440p instead. There is an option with your elgato actin as your second cloned monitor. That is very nice solution but i really want to know what is the performance loss with this monitor cloning. I have my finger on buy now if there is no noticeable performance loss. Tnx.
Well first off this isn’t a clone video and if u want to play at 144hz u don’t want to clone you want to follow the steps in my video but elgato hd60s if ur going laptop or go the avermedia 4K capture card is about the same price
Question Console: Xbox one s Capture card: El gato 60hds Monitor: 1080p 144hz I know xbox one s can do 1440p 120hz But for some reason when i use my capture card it only goes 1080 60hz. Instead of 1080p 120hz any help with that?
Yeah. I’ve tried this and my stream will get SUPER CHOPPY after like 2 hours of streaming. What’s the new way to better do this now? NDI seems smooth, but I cannot solve idiot delay issues even after adding delays to account for it.
you should be using a hdmi on the elgato hd 60s or hd 60 so im not sure if display port to hdmi works with the elgato i don't see what it wouldn't but just as a trouble shooting thing i would say switch it to hdmi and then follow the instructions in the video
I did this one. I have a elgato HD60Pro but the obs on my gaming rig will drop my FPS on the preview on the OBS. Like when it capture the game the fps on the obs will drop big time. Am using 1440p 144hz monitor. Hope u can help me with this
This tricks only meant for external capture cards it will not work for internal pcie based ones if it’s plugged into the pcie on tour gaming rig there is zero reason to be using it for streaming on the same rig that’s kind of defeating the purpose and will def hit your FPS negatively
@@Xxlionxx5150 Not sure if its a fluke but i have elgato HD60 PRO and followed your step, and it worked. I have the source at the bottom then everything else above it. When i did this and bumped up to 1080 for the stream there is no dropped frames. I will do a video shortly. But your video is what actually helped me.
@@dannyboykoch hey man i've already been over this about the hd 60 pro a few dozen times this is for the external capture cards this video has nothing to do with the internal ones but if it worked it worked idk how this would help u though because thats an internal graphics card to your system and is already capable of 1440p 144hz
Imad Wayzani so on the laptop you would want it to capture what ever is coming from the elgato capture card so like use I would assume display capture and select what ever your elgato is. Then to capture the elgato because on your main PC ( not the stream PC) your going to do the work around as explained and yes you click on choose project source and it should allow you to select your elgato as if it was just another monitor hooked up to your gpu so in my video it was display 4 on obs or display 5 in stream labs
Imad Wayzani because what that will do is it basically will make your monitor full screen a projected version of the main monitor on the elgato basically creating a clone without downscaling it or actually cloning the main monitor
@@Xxlionxx5150 i found the solution and now it work. I have to activate the elgato display in nvidia control panel. Else the elgato display is not activated. Now my second problem is i dont have another microphone plugged in my laptop.
I only have my microphone headset plugged into my main computer. So what can I do for my voice to go in to the laptop. I am French lol so sorry for my English.
OMFG! Thank you so f much! i spent 3 hours before i found this video! BUT: is this a good solution in the long run or should i buy elgato 4k if i feel i can afford it ? :)
i was legit recording from my phone i didn't have a big fancy camera studio lighting or anything of that nature also not a big streamer just a run of the mill guy who every now and then puts out a video sorry wasn't up to par
I did your work around. Despite doing that and having over 100 fps ingame I still feel the ingame experience not to be as smooth as compared to playing without obs. OBS only takes 0,3-0,5% but the gameplay is still kinda sluggish, although it displays frames way abover 100 and 120fps. I feel the preview projection of OBS does that. How are big streamers solving this issue. I feel streamer copanies like Elgato should invest more in detailed tutorials. Their tutorials are meh. thanks for your time. I still feel this is not ideal though, despite having a Ryzen 9 and 2070S rig
El Gato 4K60 Pro. But if you want to dual pc stream with a laptop, you're limited to the USB El Gato Cards. I now am using NDI after seeing that not only was I losing performance, but my 144hz monitor was getting locked to 60hz at random, and my footage was very choppy as well at anything higher than 60.
@@BrendanMiranda i gave up on elgato, after years of trying. Switched to avermedia and am blown away by the absence of issues. thank you for your answer. NDI was always too stuttery for me. I needed the smooth experience to be happy and it`s finally happening
@@jumowagames I've been using NDI for a few days now and have noticed the stutter, I've done as much as I can to reduce it but it's still there slightly. So you're right. I just need to get a capture card and repurpose my old tower as a streaming PC. Either way I'm going to have to spend money so that's why I've been just using NDI for now. Will look into avermedia
I have the same issue. Beside of that, my Gsync won't work anymore and MSI Afterburner overlay as well. I really like the idea to project the screen, but sadly it causes these issues. I think at this point i give it up with the HD60S. The next problem is, 4k avermedia is just too expensive for a hobby. :( That sucks...
Hello . Nice video. But i dont don't understand why you have to open streamlabs in your main gaming monitor? Another question : did you install the elgato driver in your 2 computers? I have the same configuration and I try to understand how you did it. Thanks.
Imad Wayzani basically the reason I am doing it the way I’m showing you is so that my gaming monitor which is a 1440p 144hz monitor doesn’t get down scaled to 1080p 60hz if you try to clone the elgato and the monitor it will downscale the game when in full screen to 1080p 60hz which looks terrible on a 1440p 144hz monitor on the stream PC I do have the elgato programing however I’m using stream labs instead as I like the customization better and I find it runs smoother and is better optimized but if you do it the way I showed in the video your gaming monitor you will be able to run full tilt at 4K 60hz or above or 1440p 144hz and still capture game play on the elgato at 1080p 60hz
@@Xxlionxx5150 I am tottaly agree with you. But my problem is how your laptop is capturing the image if you don't clone the elgato? You take this video with your phone and I don't really see what you are doing. This has been a long time searching a solution for this so I just try to understand and when i will come in my house i will try it.
Imad Wayzani got ya so what your doing is instead of cloning the main screen which is what your gaming monitor would be on you will open up obs and set up a display capture for the main monitor in my case it’s display one in obs or streamlabs then you’ll have to right click on that display once it comes up in either program and follow the instructions as I was saying them outloud what I’ll do when I get home today is do a screen capture of all this again but basically in obs it would be project capture to display I think it was and the stream labs your looking for the bottom option when you right click I think I showed it in the video as I realized after it was white washed but basically you do that and so after you right click on the display that you’ve now set up to capture your gaming monitor you will look for that option in what ever program you choose to use and then you want to select what ever one is the monitor port is for the elgato and it will display the main monitor on the elgato but won’t cause you a peer Forman ever drop and it but downscale it from 1440p 144hz to legatos native 1080p 60hz it’s a lot less complicated then it sounds but like I said I’ll try to do a screen capture of how to go about doing it on the main screen and then loop it to the other parts of the video see if I record it from another program it makes it so I can show you better.

I have same problem with streaming from ps5 it only lets me play at 1080 60hz. Any suggestions
I just bought a PS5. I have an Avermedia Live Gamer Mini capture card which I purchased last year for my switch to display audio whilst playing through my PC. I don't have any interest in streaming whatsoever however I can't get my PS5 to go into 120hz at 1440p when running it through the capture card but when I go directly from monitor to PS it works like I expected. Do I need to change my capture card for it to work and if so, please give me some recommendations of good capture cards as I want the problem solved ASAP. Thanks for reading.
How about audio? Game audio, microphone, discord etc? How do you set that up?
So let’s just say I have a Elgato hd60s I plug it in my gaming pc and my 165hz monitor and I plug it into my recording computer which is a mac why is it capped at 60 FPS and is there a way around this
I'm not familiar with mac os so I'm not really sure tbh sorry
I m italian and i not understand... I have 2k monitor 144hz. For streaming my ps4 pro with elgato hd60+ i can or not with downscale?
SafeTek91 this wouldn’t apply with the ps4 this applys to dual pc
@@Xxlionxx5150 mh...if i want capture my ps4 pro with card?
I have a 75 hz monitor, how exactly do I plug everything in?
I'm trying to use a laptop to capture the gameplay off my gaming pc
does your monitor have at least a dvi or a displayport connection?
@@QueenAllTheWay it's okay, I just returned it. I have a better PC and monitor now. And I don't really stream
i have issue but i dont know if its same as you.i only have single monitor and pc.i am using elgato hd60s.i cant play game at 1440p,since i have only one display i use duplicate screen option.when it forces my games to go 1080p.any solution?
Obviously you need to buy a 2nd PC and connect a monitor to the 2nd PC. But why bother if you are using an Nvidia or AMD GPU in your PC? Simply use each GPU card's software to record PC gameplay. If you can't figure this out on your own with all the TH-cam tutorials out in the wild, then PC gaming is not for you.
Hi Lion. I really need your help man. Been researching for almost a week now and i just can't fix the blackscreen inside streamlabs on my laptop. Don't know what to do anymore lol im desperate. Everything is perfectly setup but it's just not working i really dont understand why
uninstall stream labs and download stream elements it works better and is far less taxing on your gpu
Hello, can you help also to send out the sound from Main PC(gaming) to stream pc? Thanks
so it depends on your set up but i can make a video on this if you want it
Hi, please could you explain also how do you record your gameplay after you do that configuration?
I might as well just stream on one pc if i gotta have obs open on my gaming pc in order to mirror gameplay on the streaming pc lol
Drops the fps just the same..
old video they fixed the fps problem a long time ago video is just still up
This should work with any capture card? I think that i will buy the Razer Ripsaw HD that have passthrough 4K for consoles but i don't know what about 1440p 144hz
You could use a hdmi splitter (powered) it should not add any input lag. One to the monitor the other just to the card. :)
ya this issues hasn't exsisted unless you have a really old pc this has been fixed since this video was made
@@Xxlionxx5150wait so if i buy a elgato hd60s+ i wont have problems with using a 144hz monitor for my gaming pc? Bc ur saying it’s fixed these days?
How much cpu and gpu usage does it use on the gaming laptop having obs opened
You are the man thanks for this video it helped me alot! :) I got only 1 question: Your Elgato "Monitor number 2" did you made it 1440p or is it normal 1920p? :)
1920
Could I also use this method with an internal capture card? Or will this be and external thing only?
so they have since fixed this problem it no longer does this this video is old but if your still having the problem but it should still work using this method yes
thanks but this method uses approx 10% of gpu usage .... this means 10% less framerates ...
That makes no sense at all if you understood what he's doing.
@@omegacon4 i have tested this ... thats why i am saying
can elgato be used to play ps4 games through the pc just for the convenience of the color controls in the graphics control panel... I dont want to use it to livestream or record.. just to play
it can but theres going to be a delay i wouldn't suggest it
@@Xxlionxx5150 thanks. I hate to keep asking questions but do you know of any budget 60 hz monitors with a bigger variety of video controls that ate similar to the ones in the color control panel with nvidia
xxlionxx5150 i dont have this capture card, im not running on a laptop, i have a two pc setup that was having my gaming monitor force framed down to unusable lows.
I watched this video about 10x, troubleshot based on areas of focus u discussed and am running my stream now at 1080p w no frame issues.
Love ya man. Thx alot
not a problem man glad it worked out
Can I play with fps120, play with ps5 on a full HD monitor and stream with fps 60 in the capture card?
If you're not going to use the Elgato software to capture video via the buffer record functionality, then there's no point to recording PC gameplay via Elgato capture device + OBS. You're better off using Nvidia's Shadowplay via GeForce Experience OR the AMD GPU software equivalent.
Big brain over here doing gods work for him
Can you do this form xbox series X to laptop? I want to play 1440p 120hz on my xbox and stream on laptop
Dude i have a question. How did u Connect ur 2 PC's with the capture card??
Im looking now forward to buy a capure Card (Elgato HD 60) for my streaming pc because the Quality of NDI is not so great in fast FPS games. My gaming PC runs on 144hz my streaming pc will run on 60 fps.
How i connect them both with the elgato without the loss of 144hz gaming?
theres two ways of hooking it up so really it comes down to your set up. the capture card is the connection between the two devices so basically way it works is you go hdmi out of your graphics card to the capture card, then you attach the usb to the streaming pc, then you can if you want to monitor whats being seen through the capture card or only have one monitor run an hdmi out from the out port of the capture card to a monitor. the other option however if you do not need to see that display or you play on a high refresh rate monitor you can basically run a display port to your 240hz monitor set up the elgato as a second monitor(windows does this automatically) and clone your display what this does is basically if you have a hd60s it takes what otherwise would have locked your monitor at 60hz to allowing you to still play on your gaming monitor at 240hz but it will capture at 1080p 60hz or in my case 720p 60 hz cause it doesn't make sense to stream at 1080p
xxlionxx5150 thx dude ur a lifesaver!!! Big greetings and probs from Germany!
Why not hock all your monitors to your GPU instead?
For everyone, I'd highly recommend using an old version of OBS to avoid screen tearing and way less CPU usage, make sure to disable hardware acceleration, then you can use streamlabs on your second PC.
Unknxwn PS2Nerd which version?
saw141 Oop, I forgot to edit the comment. I would highly recommend you install a software called obs.live it's made by Streamelements. You launch it as Administrator and make sure it's on your main monitor. Minimise it and use a second monitor for chat etc
Unknxwn PS2Nerd Thank you :)
saw141 All good. Going to do a test upload soon
I see OBS.live is a plug-in for OBS, which older version of OBS would you recommend?
Thought about this months ago, works in fullscreen games, but does not work in borderless window, so games with borderless window wont work shit
hey so im having a problem . im doing this exact setup and running my hd60 pro in my streaming pc but my game still feels choppy any ideas
its going to be a little choppy i bounce back and forther between obs and stream labs because one week one works better than the other just how it is with the drivers and updates
anyone who reads this, I managed to do it with one display. Easy. Took time to figure out but it worked. I’m going to do a video on it, less than 5 mins. But if you need help comment
Lies smh
@@xfunnyman310x what? I can even tell you mate if you need help
@@xfunnyman310x make sure you’re Elgato is connected to you’re monitor, as well as you’re original hdmi, or display port (I play with a display port) and then go to control panel, display, and make sure the primary display is set to primary from which you are displaying the Monitor on, and then the second one number two, right click and clone. If you are still struggling I have a video uploading tomorrow, a 5 minute video showing step by step how to do it. Took me ages and I was ripping my hair out lol, annoying, but I managed to do it and it was easier than I thought. I had to figure it out on my own because I couldn’t find a video that explained it clear enough... and step by step straight to the point
Do you need another computer/laptop or can you do this with one computer using two monitors? Please reply
No this is a dual pc set up
My egato doesn't show up as one of my Display at all?? How to I set it so the nvida control panel with show it ??
i have a hd60s+ and the refresh rate keeps changing back to 60hz
so can you use this method with a with pc not with another laptop ure just using ure laptop as a monitor ?
They have since fixed these issues and elgato supports 1440p 144hz now
xxlionxx5150 the game has to be played in full screen though which is probably the information I was missing haha but video was informative none the less cheers
DJHesky glad it helped
I'm still confused with this. Does the output from the Elgato need to be input to its own monitor? Do i connect it to the monitor I'm gaming on? When I do that I get essentially 2 monitors coming out of the same screen..
When I try and separate them I can no longer choose the Elgato has a source..
this is an old ass video they fixed these issues update your elgato and it should be able to clone your monitors specs without this work around
This was very helpfull, thank you!
not a problem
How do you have your laptop connected? Is it connected to your pc???
yes elgato capture card
His laptop is connected to the Elgato HD60s (via USB cable), which in turn is connected to the gaming PC's GPU (via HDMI cable).
When I go to my El Gato on my laptop inside stream labs and click the create projector option it only shows one monitor. Not all 4 or 5 like you have
ya i mean if u don't have the monitors i have then ya it will only show one but it should show atleast the elgato and the one monitor if everything is plugged in correctly and drivers are installed correctly
could this also help to remove the horizontal black bars when gaming on a 3440x1440 and scaling down to stream at 1920x1080?
black bars is caused cause the game can only run in 1080p but your on a 1440p ultra wide monitor so basically the pixels extend further then the minimized screen you've created i recommend running in your native resolution to resolve the issues instead of 1080p or downgrade the monitor
this makes absolutley no sense. the whole point of the elgato is that you dont "capture" the game in "software". So you capture your game with obs (software capture = slow) and then send it to elgato (hardware capture = fast) and then you encode and upload on a laptop. with this setup you can just encode and upload on your current pc and scrap the laptop. its not that cpu tasklng at all. the capture process is the hard part.
Finally, someone else gets it. This video illustrates a method that makes no sense to use.
how do I set up what he says at 5:13?
its basically leaving your elgato or any capture card as a separate display and then u follow the rest of the video this also works for high refresh rate monitors that your capture card may not support i currently have a 4k cam link as a capture card and a 1440p 270hz monitor and went back to this because it wasn't allowing for my monitor to run correctly with the capture card and kept giving me a dx11 crash issue so this projection option now allows me to stream with minimal use of my cpu to run the projection to the capture card it uses far less resources then actually streaming on one pc would i do have a new avermedia 4k ultra on the way that should support the high refresh rate so this will be going back to being obsolete i believe but this works for all capture cards and is a work around as as these higher refresh rate 1440p monitors come out they are having issues because if your a streamer it's not being supported by the capture cards
He explains how to do it in the video. Did you not watch it or is English not your primary language?
Hello sir, just a quick question do u have to have obs downloaded in your “laptop” or is it just used as a display at this point?
@Marcus R Yes exactly, the whole point of a capture card is to get your display and audio onto another computer so your gaming computer doesnt take the strain of streaming and gaming at the same time
when im on obs and I have my legato as my source, it doesn't show up
did you install the drivers on the stream pc? also is it plugged into your graphics card on the gaming pc? i need more info to help you out
That's because your elgato should not have been your source. "Display Capture" or "Game Capture" Should have been your source. Then you just "Fullscreen Preview" to your elgato monitor.
Hi guys, I am looking to buy elgato capture card for my dual PC streaming setup. I'm watching youtube videos all day for bypassing 60hz gaming monitor and game on 165 hz 1440p instead. There is an option with your elgato actin as your second cloned monitor. That is very nice solution but i really want to know what is the performance loss with this monitor cloning. I have my finger on buy now if there is no noticeable performance loss. Tnx.
Well first off this isn’t a clone video and if u want to play at 144hz u don’t want to clone you want to follow the steps in my video but elgato hd60s if ur going laptop or go the avermedia 4K capture card is about the same price
Question
Console: Xbox one s
Capture card: El gato 60hds
Monitor: 1080p 144hz
I know xbox one s can do 1440p 120hz
But for some reason when i use my capture card it only goes 1080 60hz. Instead of 1080p 120hz any help with that?
I need help I use an amd not an nvidia so the settings aren't the same
Not sure I can help I haven't had amd since my first build
Thanks! This helped a lot!
Thanks for the info but,
couldn't get this to work smoothly so I'm using NDI till 4k cap card.
Too much chop on stream and recording was plain bad.
Yea they changed things since this is an old video and it will be choppy
Yeah. I’ve tried this and my stream will get SUPER CHOPPY after like 2 hours of streaming. What’s the new way to better do this now? NDI seems smooth, but I cannot solve idiot delay issues even after adding delays to account for it.
So I can play in 1440p and stream in 1080?
yes thats why i made the video cause otherwise it was downgrading to 1440 60hz on the monitor
Do u need multiple displays or do u duplicate displays?

you should be using a hdmi on the elgato hd 60s or hd 60 so im not sure if display port to hdmi works with the elgato i don't see what it wouldn't but just as a trouble shooting thing i would say switch it to hdmi and then follow the instructions in the video
I did this one. I have a elgato HD60Pro but the obs on my gaming rig will drop my FPS on the preview on the OBS. Like when it capture the game the fps on the obs will drop big time. Am using 1440p 144hz monitor. Hope u can help me with this
This tricks only meant for external capture cards it will not work for internal pcie based ones if it’s plugged into the pcie on tour gaming rig there is zero reason to be using it for streaming on the same rig that’s kind of defeating the purpose and will def hit your FPS negatively
@@Xxlionxx5150 Not sure if its a fluke but i have elgato HD60 PRO and followed your step, and it worked. I have the source at the bottom then everything else above it. When i did this and bumped up to 1080 for the stream there is no dropped frames. I will do a video shortly. But your video is what actually helped me.
@@dannyboykoch hey man i've already been over this about the hd 60 pro a few dozen times this is for the external capture cards this video has nothing to do with the internal ones but if it worked it worked idk how this would help u though because thats an internal graphics card to your system and is already capable of 1440p 144hz
CAN I DO THIS USING A XBOX ONE CONSOLE???
i do not believe so i think this is limited to just pc because only the new series x xbox is capable of 120hz
and even then it's limited to the game developer allowing 120 hz on console
nice video dude👌
OK so i tried but i want to choose project source it dont see my elgato ???
Imad Wayzani so on the laptop you would want it to capture what ever is coming from the elgato capture card so like use I would assume display capture and select what ever your elgato is. Then to capture the elgato because on your main PC ( not the stream PC) your going to do the work around as explained and yes you click on choose project source and it should allow you to select your elgato as if it was just another monitor hooked up to your gpu so in my video it was display 4 on obs or display 5 in stream labs
Imad Wayzani because what that will do is it basically will make your monitor full screen a projected version of the main monitor on the elgato basically creating a clone without downscaling it or actually cloning the main monitor
Imad Wayzani I’ll remake the video when I get home I didn’t realize how white washed it was
@@Xxlionxx5150 i found the solution and now it work. I have to activate the elgato display in nvidia control panel. Else the elgato display is not activated.

OMFG! Thank you so f much! i spent 3 hours before i found this video! BUT:
is this a good solution in the long run or should i buy elgato 4k if i feel i can afford it ? :)
I mean this works but something with obs now makes it skip kinda and makes it look laggy
Thanks mate.. how about the sounds of the game?
if it wasnt in this one i think i made a part 2
Beautiful T.V. ❤❤👍❤❤
This is great information but I wish it was just shot better.
i was legit recording from my phone i didn't have a big fancy camera studio lighting or anything of that nature also not a big streamer just a run of the mill guy who every now and then puts out a video sorry wasn't up to par
How do you do this on AMD???
I did your work around. Despite doing that and having over 100 fps ingame I still feel the ingame experience not to be as smooth as compared to playing without obs. OBS only takes 0,3-0,5% but the gameplay is still kinda sluggish, although it displays frames way abover 100 and 120fps. I feel the preview projection of OBS does that. How are big streamers solving this issue. I feel streamer copanies like Elgato should invest more in detailed tutorials. Their tutorials are meh. thanks for your time. I still feel this is not ideal though, despite having a Ryzen 9 and 2070S rig
El Gato 4K60 Pro.
But if you want to dual pc stream with a laptop, you're limited to the USB El Gato Cards. I now am using NDI after seeing that not only was I losing performance, but my 144hz monitor was getting locked to 60hz at random, and my footage was very choppy as well at anything higher than 60.

this is a really old video they since fixed this and have updated the software to resolve this
Does this mean I can run games at 120 hertz?
you should be able to
Hello . Nice video. But i dont don't understand why you have to open streamlabs in your main gaming monitor? Another question : did you install the elgato driver in your 2 computers? I have the same configuration and I try to understand how you did it. Thanks.
Imad Wayzani basically the reason I am doing it the way I’m showing you is so that my gaming monitor which is a 1440p 144hz monitor doesn’t get down scaled to 1080p 60hz if you try to clone the elgato and the monitor it will downscale the game when in full screen to 1080p 60hz which looks terrible on a 1440p 144hz monitor on the stream PC I do have the elgato programing however I’m using stream labs instead as I like the customization better and I find it runs smoother and is better optimized but if you do it the way I showed in the video your gaming monitor you will be able to run full tilt at 4K 60hz or above or 1440p 144hz and still capture game play on the elgato at 1080p 60hz
@@Xxlionxx5150 I am tottaly agree with you. But my problem is how your laptop is capturing the image if you don't clone the elgato? You take this video with your phone and I don't really see what you are doing. This has been a long time searching a solution for this so I just try to understand and when i will come in my house i will try it.
Imad Wayzani got ya so what your doing is instead of cloning the main screen which is what your gaming monitor would be on you will open up obs and set up a display capture for the main monitor in my case it’s display one in obs or streamlabs then you’ll have to right click on that display once it comes up in either program and follow the instructions as I was saying them outloud what I’ll do when I get home today is do a screen capture of all this again but basically in obs it would be project capture to display I think it was and the stream labs your looking for the bottom option when you right click I think I showed it in the video as I realized after it was white washed but basically you do that and so after you right click on the display that you’ve now set up to capture your gaming monitor you will look for that option in what ever program you choose to use and then you want to select what ever one is the monitor port is for the elgato and it will display the main monitor on the elgato but won’t cause you a peer Forman ever drop and it but downscale it from 1440p 144hz to legatos native 1080p 60hz it’s a lot less complicated then it sounds but like I said I’ll try to do a screen capture of how to go about doing it on the main screen and then loop it to the other parts of the video see if I record it from another program it makes it so I can show you better. If this doesn’t help let me know
Hi, does this also work to record my gameplay?
