Dude holy sh*t thank you so much, I'm running the same setup of PC to laptop and I tried for DAYS and researched through so many forums to try and get this to work without downgrading my resolution during gameplay. All to learn that you need an additional program (OBS) to project it to the laptop. Also badass setup with all those monitors!!!
no problem this issue is arising again due to the fact theres 1440p high refresh rate monitors the older capture cards don't support and manufactures haven't resolved the issue for support yet
This video is informative and accurate.very good video have been doing the same thing that you do. Its hard for small channel to get recognition we deserved you have my big two thumbs up. All the best.
Thank you I tried to be as informative as I possibly could making sure I covered everything although some felt it was flexing what I have it was more so to make sure you knew what all I have to be able to cover all the bases
Prohurtz honestly I was doing so many things back then I had shit open on every one of them sometimes two programs running at once but it helped in recruiting players to be able to watch multiple streams at once this was prior to multistream working correctly
@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
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
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.
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? :)
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
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. It's so sad i7 9770k and gtx 1080, and still just previewing OBS makes me lose frames. Wish there was a way to disable GPU usage while previewing, or another program that don't use GPU
You should disable "preview" in OBS once you have this method above squared away. Preview will put an even bigger load of your gaming pc as it's trying to render the game itself AND a preview in OBS. I'm going to try this method as I just bought a HD60S and a stream deck and I also game with a 1440p monitor and have a perfectly good laptop to become my capture and stream pc to free up resources from the gaming desktop.
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
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.

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
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.
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
How come when I clicked on "Fullscreen Projector (Preview) and selected my Elgato(Which is 3rd monitor for me since I have 2 actual monitors), it spazzed out and lost almost all color and went gray? Wtf
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?
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
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
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.
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
Hey bro nice video, do you know how this is possible with only one pc? I don’t have a separate laptop to use to stream or record. So do you know how I could stream/record off one pc without sacrificing my FPS?
No unfortunately there’s no way to do it without sacrificing FPS with only one that’s why most PC streamers gave two is because one is a slower crappy PC that can barely stream and the other is your work horse typically used for gaming so like in my case I have two good PCs but ya like my gaming rig is a 1800x and rtx 2080 graphics and my other PC is my laptop with an i7 7700hq and a gtx 1060 now that’s wayyyyyy over kill for streaming like you can get an older i3 prebuilt dell for like 50-100$ slap a gtx 1050 in it and be able to stream with that
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
@@InnerBrownProduction i return the elgato hd60 plus because it can't do 1440p @144z passthrough but i bought the Avermedia Live gamer ultra it does im able to record up t0 1440p@60 and play at 1440@120htz
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
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 ? :)
when you have done all you said.The main Gaming monitor doesn't work on the really 144HZ(actually it works on 60HZ)，you can test the freshrate on www.testufo.com/ but full screen gaming mod could be a solution（Like WOW now doesn't support fullscreen mod，I don't how to handle this issue）
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...
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
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
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

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
Do u need multiple displays or do u duplicate displays?
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.
Can I play with fps120, play with ps5 on a full HD monitor and stream with fps 60 in the capture card?
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
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 come when I clicked on "Fullscreen Projector (Preview) and selected my Elgato(Which is 3rd monitor for me since I have 2 actual monitors), it spazzed out and lost almost all color and went gray? Wtf
Btw I'm using the HD60 Pro(Which is the PCI Express Elgato for PC) but it should be the same concept.
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
Can you do this form xbox series X to laptop? I want to play 1440p 120hz on my xbox and stream on laptop
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?
Beautiful T.V. ❤❤👍❤❤
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
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
Thought about this months ago, works in fullscreen games, but does not work in borderless window, so games with borderless window wont work shit
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.
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
nice video dude👌
i have a hd60s+ and the refresh rate keeps changing back to 60hz
Thank you!!
How do you do this on AMD???
Hey bro nice video, do you know how this is possible with only one pc? I don’t have a separate laptop to use to stream or record. So do you know how I could stream/record off one pc without sacrificing my FPS?
No unfortunately there’s no way to do it without sacrificing FPS with only one that’s why most PC streamers gave two is because one is a slower crappy PC that can barely stream and the other is your work horse typically used for gaming so like in my case I have two good PCs but ya like my gaming rig is a 1800x and rtx 2080 graphics and my other PC is my laptop with an i7 7700hq and a gtx 1060 now that’s wayyyyyy over kill for streaming like you can get an older i3 prebuilt dell for like 50-100$ slap a gtx 1050 in it and be able to stream with that
xxlionxx5150 thank you for the response bro. I’ll just look into getting a new pc sooner rather than later probably. Thank you
Whenever my display port is plugged in and I plug my elgato in to my graphics card right next to it my monitor just loses signal please help!
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
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!
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
Thaaaaaaak Youuu !! Gooood !!!!!
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
Bruh! Can’t thank you enough🙏🙏🙏
Np
Slobs projects output to like 480 or 720p idk but it is blueey..... why??? Everything is set up to 1080p elgato and my main screen help
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
Is this the same for 240hz monitors?
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
Ty so much
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?
Why not hock all your monitors to your GPU instead?
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
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
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 theres a slight lag but to be honest to prevent stream sniping you really wouldn't mind a lag and it's less than a fraction of a second if anything
@@Xxlionxx5150 Thanks so much, it worked! So many days of researching videos to record an hd60s while gaming at 144hz.
@@henrykid1393 not a problem brother glad it helped
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
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.
Thank you so much
np
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.
Thanks mate.. how about the sounds of the game?
if it wasnt in this one i think i made a part 2
Thank you
Bro I just want to see my display from my Xbox at 1440p while I stream on capture card at 1080p...
Anthony Baez did u find out how to fix your problem
@SocL me too it looks like we need to buy the elgato hd60 plus 😭
iTzPedroHDi 😭😭😭
This method didn't work?
@@InnerBrownProduction i return the elgato hd60 plus because it can't do 1440p @144z passthrough but i bought the Avermedia Live gamer ultra it does im able to record up t0 1440p@60 and play at 1440@120htz
Watch this video at 1.5× to better understand him lol
be honest i had spent 6 hrs trying to find a solution to it and several beers later made this video after figuring it out
And also zoom in 100x because he says “click here click here” but we can’t see shit
Nice can’t find a fkn video for amd
didnt work for me but its fine i guess because all i really use it for is playing earrape from youtube on to game chat
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
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
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
Hi, does this also work to record my gameplay?
Yes
yes it does
when you have done all you said.The main Gaming monitor doesn't work on the really 144HZ(actually it works on 60HZ)，you can test the freshrate on www.testufo.com/
but full screen gaming mod could be a solution（Like WOW now doesn't support fullscreen mod，I don't how to handle this issue）
Does this work on console?
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).
Will it work with usb 2.0 version
yes
Great video! Can this be done with an xbox series x as well? Or is is for dual PC only?
this is a really old video they since fixed this and have updated the software to resolve this
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
@@BrendanMiranda i got the live gamer 4k. If it works for several years, I assume it`s a useful investment. so far no hickups
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...
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?
This video hurt my brain
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
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..

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?
will that work also with AMD GPUs?
not sure it's needed anymore this is an old video u shouldn't have to do this anymore elgato fixed this with software fixes
