How to stream 1440p 144hz WITHOUT Screen Tearing - Elgato 4k60 Pro Setup Guide (Dual PC Configs)

[@codprodigyx]

Hey, man you have probably answered this a lot but i get a lot of screen tearing when recording or streaming on my streaming PC with the duplicating, i even set it to 120hz but it still doesn't seem to fix it unless i do fullscreen borderless on games which to my knowledge all that does is enables Vsync but i already had vsync on. At this point idk if it's a faulty card or if i'm doing something wrong, thanks if you reply BTW.

[@mikenostrant2706]

Hello, I encounter audio problems with this capture card, it can't capture audio, it records it but there are only poping and cracking. Do you know something?

[@thedornado3931]

Yeah you have to use a secondary software like voice meter banana

[@leethedeuce]

@@thedornado3931 actually you can get the game audio to capture no problem and dont need banana. Found that fix somewhere... Unfortunatley supposed fixes and videos everywhere that dont actually help you accomplish said task. Ive done everything here and still doesnt work. So what now? buy more hdmi cables and test all that. contact elgato technical support. Buy a bunch more crap and keep troubleshooting on your own. watch and read everyones videos that explain the same basic things while you've done it all and magically dont get those results.

[@m88_overwatch]

one thing to mention as well is if you have a 360hz 2k 1440p monitor and you want to record with mk2 you can go to 144hz only. Also, make sure when you clone to go under Nvidia Control Panel > Set up multiple displays > right click on the cloned icon and SETUP YOUR MAIN SCREEN AS THE CLONE SOURCE. I"VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT BUT NOBODY MENTIONED ANYTHING!!!!

[@MrRefragLiveStreams]

Hey do you install the 4k60 pro in the streaming pc or in the gaming pc motherboard?🥹

One thing to add to this guide if you're using the Cloning method. At 4:51 in this video, if you find the "Video Input" readout is not showing 1440p144 (eg, 1440p120). Go back to your graphics driver settings or Windows settings where you applied the cloning, remove the cloning by going back to the default dual monitor mode (eg Extended). Now open your graphics driver settings and go to where you set the resolution and refresh rate of each device (this is "Change resolution" on the left for Nvidia settings) click on the Elgato 1440p device and set the refresh rate to 144hz and apply. Now re-apply the cloning

[@sutterhall8401]

This little comment was exactly what I needed.

[@CasualXCars]

When I follow these steps, there are no 144hz selections for the 4K60 Pro capture card... only 60 and 120hz... just by some luck I had another HDMI 2.0 cable laying around so I tried it and that was the issue... Cable that came with Elgato 4K60 Pro does NOT support 144hz for whatever reason...

Hey Eposvox, Hope all is well. Would a display port to HDMI 2.0 adapter work for the pass through option? Thanks!

[@EposVox]

For getting from gpu to the card, yes, but there's no adapters the other way around if your monitor doesn't support hdmi 2.0

[@Rattriix]

The capturecard has delay, figure out how much delay and set up your rest to this delay, im not pretty sure if it works for capture in obs. If its below 1 sec you can just delay your mic only, nobody will notice until you try to play music and sing to it. If you want less delay you have to go with a hd60pro at least

[@xXSilentAgent47Xx]

Hi. Does it require 140 mbps net speed to record 4K 60fps? That part confuses me in settings.

[@EposVox]

Recording doesn't require any internet speed

[@Zephy]

I'm getting very slight screen tear still. I followed through with the instructions of the video and I looked back in my recording and I can notice it slightly. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong here D:

[@N8Nefarious]

Same, but the problem seems to have improved significantly.

[@hijackdemon]

Thank you so much . Just got the dell 1440p monitor and couldn't be happier withe the quality of this cap card

[@VaatiVidya]

This didn't work for me, until I disabled G-sync, and enabled Nvidia Fast Sync instead. I would recommend that to anyone reading this and tearing their hair out over it. I believe setting your monitor to 120hz also helps, as 144hz is not divisible by 60 - which is actually the max hz of the card, despite what Elgato and this video would have me believe. Am I wrong on that? For that reason, I kind of wish I bought a 1080p 240hz monitor instead, as that IS divisible by 60.

[@EposVox]

GSync is not compatible with capture cards in general. And yes, 120hz can help a lot

[@VaatiVidya]

EposVox do you know why fast sync is and gsync isn't? Couldnt quite puzzle that out. And is there currently a card that can handle the 1440p 144hz? Or does that throw most of them off? I should mention that it was overall a good video, it helped me out. I just found that tweet from elgato saying "1440p 144hz" a bit misleading, as it led me to get the 4k60pro

[@EposVox]

Fast Sync is supported, as it's just a better way of handling VSync. GSync required DisplayPort and interacting directly with the monitor itself with special hardware (part of why GSync monitors are so much more expensive) - and just generally capture cards are designed for static refresh rates, not variable refresh rate. Variable Refresh is still a very new tech and there's no real reason for it outside of game systems so I wouldn't expect to see capture hardware support it much in general, maybe when HDMI 2.1 takes over, but that's a long way and $$ away

[@TivoltGames]

Well goddamn, I just noticed terrible tearing in my recording using the Live Gamer 4k. Considering it's pretty similar to 4k60 I came here for answers and this comment was posted just 20h ago. It works without tearing now, thank you! :D

[@Varillah]

Yeh I had to do the same here, my 144hz 1440p was stuck on 1440p60 in capture utility. However, I didn’t need to disable gsync but I did had to change to 120hz for it work. Tho it still worked with Gsync enable, I followed ur tip still disabled it n enable fast.

hi, i have the algato 4k60 pro mk2 but it show me only 144hz on my gaming monitor - i have a 165mhz monitor 2k. how can i put the 165mhz on my gaming pc? i have a streaming pc too.

[@AdamBeggy]

I was struggling with my Elgato HD60 Pro because I didnt quite understand how I should configure it, right there at the 4:25 mark explained that you can duplicate both the display port with the hdmi port(edited) I was getting ready to buy a hdmi splitter because I was trying to figure out why the picture looked like crap when I have 2 of the same monitor but one was now connected hdmi rather than both display port. I duplicated the monitor and that helped me resolve the issue. Just used the HDMI output on the 1070 card as a duplicate out into the elgato. Thank you!

[@MrMNEK]

I’m trying to record from the same PC with 2 monitors but when I try and record I get really bad chopping in the footage once I change the graphics in game to 1440p but if I stay at 1080p it’s fine. RIG.. GTX 1080TI, Intel core i7 8700k, 32GB RAM.

Just upgraded my monitor to a 1440p and 240hz, my old monitor was a 1440p and 144hz which I had mirrored to the 4k60 pro. Question is will I have any issues mirroring this time because my monitor is now running 240hz. Will the card still read 1440p 144hz and my main still be at 1440p 240hz without any issues ? Thanks

[@gremF.]

Dear, EposVox! I ask you to forgive in advance - I use Google translate... To begin, let me thank for the very high-quality videos and guides! Enjoyed the capture card reviews. But there is one question: there is a 144Hz 2K monitor. Output to stream through OBS 1080p 60Hz. No frame loss, etc. (both CPU X264 or NVENC). The game goes smoothly, and the picture is in the local record, which is jerking on the stream. I understand this because of the difference frequency. How to play it at 144Hz, and output in 1080p60 without these jerks? Only with a capture card? Or is it possible without a capture card (without lowering the monitor's scanning frequency)?

[@DRSKINGDAVID]

Which one is better cloning or passthrough?

[@EposVox]

Passthrough

[@DRSKINGDAVID]

@@EposVox thanks man I appreciate it

[@DRSKINGDAVID]

I have 2 monitors for my gaming pc.. When I connect it the passthrough way for the 4k60 mk2, its almost like the elgato clones itself to my monitor on its own, because instead of seeing both of my monitors and then the elgato I only se 1 monitor then the elgato. Dont understand that at all.. What am I doing wrong?

[@LethalOne]

I know this is an older video but I have a very weird issue. When I clone my monitor to my capture card, my games cannot be played full screen.

Hello, I have a question I play in a 3840× 1600 144 Hz resolution, this acquisition card can it wait for 144 Hz on this resolution in streaming at the same time? thank you

[@MonkeeyFN]

So for duplicating the display. It is Graphics Card HDMI > Elgato Input? Then Elgato Output > Streaming PC?

[@Pabula]

One question adam, if you were to run an nvidia surround (triple monitor 2560x1440 144hz) and you just want to capture the center monitor to stream to youtube/twitch using a dual PC setup, do you think its viable to do it via the ElGato 4k60pro or you think using 1st PC OBS -> NDI -> 2nd PC OBS would be better option?

[@EposVox]

I'm not sure. From what I understand of Nvidia surround, you won't be able to clone just a single screen, so you might need NDI. But if you CAN clone the screen, the 4k60 Pro would be better to save performance.

[@CheLios412]

[@DNH17]

If I don't want to stream and just not have 2 pc and so on but just one pc and do vods should I get this or just use OBS and that's it? Relive is pretty glitchy... not working usually doesn't record audio.. i would have a 5600x cpu and a good GPU or medium low, I am just wondering if it's worth buying that elgato too or just do it by OBS and nothing else. It's maybe not worth to buy an elgato and do this single pc config right?...

[@EposVox]

Capture card doesn’t help single pc setups

[@OGFerlz]

I have a 343CQR (ultrawide + HDR + Freesync) Is there a way to keep HDR and Freesync on my monitor, while capturing it? EIther via passthrough or cloning?

[@liohardy3770]

Hi EposVox.. I wanna ask u something.. Do I need this capture card to record my gameplay (not for streaming) at 1440p (60 fps)? I'm planning to buy a RTX 2080 Super graphic card..

[@naivesteev5875]

Which method is the better of the two? or are the differences negligible...?

Please Respond! do I need a 4K monitor with the 4k60pro? I’m using a 1080p monitor for my gaming and streaming pc. My streaming pc has the 4k60pro inside of it, outputting into the gaming pc 1080p monitor. My eyes are killing me now because when I look at the screen outputting from the elgato, it’s pretty blurry and hurts my eyes. The resolution I checked on the gaming pc is 4K. Is the problem that I am using a 1080p monitor? Or is the problem the hdmi cord?

[@EposVox]

Whatever you're passing through it and gaming on has to be a 4K monitor, if you expect to capture 4K gameplay, yes.

Wondering how this would work with a 165hz 1440p monitor, using the cloning method, can I set up the main monitor at 165hz 1440p and clone to the Elgato at 144hz 1440p? .. or would my main monitor be forced to use 144hz?

[@PlanetZirtrix]

You can’t play or capture in HDR if you are cloning tho I’m pretty sure and that’s the problem I am trying to solve. I want to game in HDR but cloning auto disabled HDR. If I use pass through do you think I will be able to use HDR?

[@EposVox]

yes

[@TylertheGeek28]

Good vid. Kind of curious did you try the card recording to different codec's? Like Lags or Huffy just wondering how the card would perform

[@EposVox]

It's just a capture card, so it'd be up to your CPU to handle the encoding. I've not really messed with it, high enough bitrate H264 is generally good enough for 99% of uses

[@TylertheGeek28]

Yeah I've played with some cap cards and they freak out when pushing to much data (50-80MB/s or more) or don't like it when forcing a codec like Lags or MagicYUV even with a 10 core Xeon and an SSD array. I'm still looking at the 4K60 card from Magwell but it's $800 lol

[@EposVox]

Circling back to this, I now use it regularly to capture UTVideo 422 rec.601 and it handles it fine.

[@KleskReaver]

Am wondering, since I’ll be using the “clone” method of hooking this up to a 2nd PC, and there is a 144hz 1080p display on that PC, and that PC will not be used for gaming on (just using OBS to stream out what is coming in to the Elgato) and OBS is using 60fps, is there any point in having the Elgato capture at 144hz or should it just capture at 60hz? Or am I mistaking this and the Elgato only passes through 144hz and not actually captures 144hz for streaming or recording?

[@EposVox]

It only passes through 144hz. If you set it to 60, you risk that going back and affecting main monitor via clone settings, or mainly just having a lot more screen tearing on the capture.

[@TimvandeStadt]

So how would this work when working in digital audio workstations? As for gaming, the sound comes via HDMI, but when you're in a DAW you use ASIO, which isn't directly played back through windows MME but straight to your (external) sound card. How would you capture sound without the hassle of adding hardware (e.g. mixer)?

[@PixelTwitch]

Hey EposVox. So I just built a separate streaming PC with an HD60 Pro. I've been trying to get the video to look good for quite a while now, but there are massive issues with screen tearing and in general the video just looks like crap. Both of my monitors are 1440p, though only the primary is 144Hz. I'm currently using OBS on both computers, with the one on the gaming PC creating a Fullscreen Projection of my first display onto the Elgato. Is there any way to get this to look good? Or should I return the HD60 Pro and get the 4K Pro? I can do so though I would much like to keep the HD60 Pro instead, since it's cheaper and I only stream at 720p60 anyway. Thanks for any advice!

[@EposVox]

The 4k60 Pro is less about being 4k and more about supporting the required workflow. HD60 Pro does not support >1080p nor >60hz, so trying to force either of those will get messy results. The fullscreen projection could work, but it's going to still have scaling issues most likely.

[@BladeWDR]

EposVox yeah that's what I've discovered unfortunately. Getting the 4k pro at some point then I suppose. Thanks!

[@CasualXCars]

Ok, so after few days of tinkering around and following so many isntructions, guides, etc. this video helped me get closest to the resolution of the issue. Here is what I have Dual-PC setup wise to lay the ground for what to expect: Gaming PC - gaming at 165hz (G-sync cert monitor) Streaming PC - 4k60 Pro (Source: 1440p @ 120hz; Capture: 1080p @ 60hz) IMPORTANT: As I was following this guide, to achieve 1440p @ 144hz as a source on my streaming PC in 4k Gaming Utility, I only managed to do it with my own separately purchased HDMI 2.0 certified cable... They tell you to use HDMI cable that case with the capture card, but in my case I was stuck at 1440p@120hz only... The moment I swapped HDMI cables (GPU to Elgato Capture Card "IN) I instantly got 144hz... So, ensure to have handy another proven HDMI 2.0 cable just in case... Outcome: I am still able to play at 165hz on my G-Sync cert monitor without any issues... I have cloned the displays (main gaming monitor to Elgato), and I adjusted manually refresh rate on Elgato display (in my gaming pc) to 120hz... it helps with Screen tearing from what I was able to find online... On Streaming PC in 4k Gaming Utility I have Source set at 1440p (comes in at 120hz - intentionally) and captures/records in 1080p60... Note: Initially I have setup my gaming PC to play at 144hz and I matched 1440p144 on Elgato 4k Gaming Utility but I was getting screen tearing on my gaming PC... not on the streaming PC which was odd... anyhow, I tried fully using 165hz, and than downgrading the source to 120hz because Elgato capture card does not care if it is slightly lower refresh rate, because all I need it to do is capture 1080p60 and stream that without loosing quality or having tearing etc. Today I tested it for about 10 minutes, and recorded a video, so, happy to report it all worked well.

[@AngryFPSGamer]

For me I was able to capture my microphone to my 2nd PC but I can't seem to get my Gaming Audio to my 2nd PC with the Elgato 4k Capture card with OBS Studio, What do you guys think could be the issue?

[@jatorr]

Download Elgato Game Capture on your gaming pc and open Sound Capture that comes with it. Set the Advanced and make sure Elgato and your preferred sound output are unmuted.

[@TheMysticSpade]

EposVox I have a question. I am just wanting to get this purely for the 1080p capture for my streaming rig. The specs listed to run this are quite high can you direct me to some links of maybe people using this on an AMD vishera build? it's purely a streaming pc that currently has a HD60 pro in it but i get screen tearing for days and it drives me nuts.

[@EposVox]

Is your 1080p screen a high refresh rate one? Otherwise the HD60 Pro is going to produce the same results. It's highly unlikely Vishera will handle this card well and I certainly don't have any links of people using it as such.

[@TheMysticSpade]

EposVox my gaming setup is 1080p at 144hz while streaming pc is 1080p 60. I didn’t think it would :(

my video input on my streaming pc is saying 1080p60 instead of 1080p240 any help with this?

[@Benjahites]

Is possible to duplicate a sorround screen 5760x1080 or only duplicate the middle monitor? In not able to do it please help

[@PsychoScore]

Question how does this affect G-Sync i got a 165Hz 1440p gsync monitor and i dont want to loose G-Sync is this method still possible?

[@AngryFPSGamer]

What If I am using a Intel core I9 7980XE? What I am planning on doing is splitting the cores, Also Getting a 2nd Gpu like a GTX 1050 and I'm going to use the gpu and split the cores for the elgato capture card while gaming with a 1080 ti at the same time. Do you think I will lose any performance hit?

[@EposVox]

If you're doing this on a single rig there is quite literally no point. You're adding a crapload of hardware and possible points of problem for 0 gain. Just use normal game/display/window capture, a capture card provides you no advantage and only causes more problems in such a setup

[@AngryFPSGamer]

I'm still going to use a 2nd PC. My old rig is a intel core i7 5960x, So I mind as well use it as a 2nd pc for the elgato capture card and record my main new PC so I don't lose any performance hit!

[@EposVox]

Ok then you don't need a second GPU in the i9 PC.

[@AngryFPSGamer]

I was just confused whether if I can do everything in one rig instead of having 2 PC but like you said that would cause to much problems and so far everyone I asked says the same thing, But anyway thanks for answering my question and keep up with the good content!

[@EposVox]

Glad you got it figured out. Thanks for watching!

[@micahcochrane3806]

this has not helped. i still have green screen and flashing anytime i go above 60hz on 1440p. also everytime i open a game even though my main monitor says its at 240hz it takes the game down to 60hz. whats going on? Thanks

[@thebigguru3301]

I have Elgato HD60 pro to my streaming pc. I connect my streaming pc with my gaming pc like this : Hdmi from Gaming pc's graphics card to elgato's Input. I do what you say to obs, but what about audio... i dont know how it works.. i use only a headshet with installed microphone. Logitech g933 7.1 This headset is connected to Gaming pc. Now how can i transfer my audio from gaming pc to streaming pc? can you help me plz?

[@OkiTheHermit]

thank you even without audio I was able to follow along and setup my 1440p clone thank you for the help.

[@GoldoMania.]

Do I still need to have a GTX1660 or higher on my streaming PC, to be able to use the Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2? even though I have an RTX 2080 on my gaming PC? Can someone please help with this question I will much appreciate it.

[@frozenkuku]

For the first method, it works. But what if I want to plug my PS4 Pro into the Elgato HDMI In? Now I have to take out the HDMI 2.0 cable running from my Game GPU. Then how do I see the game on the game monitor (ie, the 1440p monitor)

[@Raglarak]

This doesnt work if You have Gsync and Vsync on Right ? The games just locks at 60FPS ?

[@EposVox]

Vsync would work fine. GSync and other adaptive sync doesn't work with any capture card

[@Raglarak]

@@EposVox One year later I'm back to the same video lol! Is there any way or capture card in the market that can handle this with the new 360hz monitors?. I wan't to be able to use G-sync + V-sync on my Gaming PC while using a capture card on my streaming PC

[@decsa8537]

Anything different if you're running a mixer in to the setup? Or just choose the custom audio as the Elgato?

[@WillieCuz]

Does that card Let you capture directly from the PC since its inside it or do you still have to use the "In and Out" ports?

[@EposVox]

You still have to route the video. If you’re doing single PC, software capture already works and will perform better than routing through a capture card

[@WillieCuz]

@@EposVox Yeah I try to use OBS but there’s sometimes frame rate issues with certain scenes on some games and idk why since I have good gear. Maybe my settings are wrong

[@EposVox]

Those issues would very likely still persist if not be worse with a capture card then

[@WillieCuz]

@@EposVox Like the games play fine, it’s just the video after that’s recorded lags sometimes 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@ZioNxEvo]

So if I have a 3440 x 1440 monitor playing at either 100hz or 120hz will this work? Example I have my monitor plugged into pc with display port and leave it plugged it but also plug a hdmi into monitor into pc too can I still play my games in 3440 x 1440 at 100/120hz while recording with this still ??

[@KeineAhnungWasFürEinName]

Got my 4kpro for 150 today, i am so hyped. Will there be a difference when i stream in 1080p 60hz vs 1080p in 144hz?

[@MrMr-of1ql]

What I don't understand is how is she able to split the mic signal to both her stream and game pc? Her diagram shows that, splitting the aux send to both systems. How? From what I understand, mic signal is too low of an input to split to multiple devices and there isn't a cable to split them anyways. So how is that possible? Assuming that mic is generally set up on stream pc, how would she be able to talk in game?

[@ther3alenso]

Question: Will this work with 3840x1600 144hz monitors coming out like the LG-38GL950G-B? Edit: btw thank you EposVox for the helpful video. You sir, earned yourself a sub!

[@fightinirish73kk]

can i just run hdmi 2.1 from gaming pc to elgato and display port from streaming pc to monitor on streaming pc and clone gaming monitor with elgato . or is that a dumb question

[@PepsyTV]

Can this be done on 1080p 144hz monitor ?

[@EposVox]

Yep!

[@dfdfdfdg7080]

is there a cheaper capture card option available now to run 1080p 144hz on the gaming monitor, with a 60hz monitor attached to the streaming pc?

[@goudronsale8079]

@@EposVox hey epos! Thanks for the video it really helps! But i have a question i try to setup in 1080p120hz it doesnt apply in 4k capture software and then i put 1440p instead and 120hz appear otherwise in 1080p it only set it to 60hz in 4k capture card software

I have the weirdest thing going on with the mk.2 4k60..when I select 144 hz the screen looks normal in the 4k capture utility, but it gives me a bunch of weird colors and dosent look right on the gaming screen.. but if I lower it to 120hz it works fine. Why is that?

[@DoSGamingNetwork]

One of your hdmi cables probably isn't a high speed hdmi 2.0. Judging by your description of the issue I would guess it's the hdmi going into your monitor.

if you only need PC, (x360 new, ps3,4) you need that too?

I did all of these setting yet my quality is terrible. Idk why. My streams ran better on one pc. Not sure what else I could change to make quality better in obs! Help!

[@kon_radar]

Try, I don't know, I myself am looking for answers, to downclock your 144 Hz monitor to 120 Hz, in the monitor properties. If there is no 120 Hz, it can be added in "CRU" (you can add it under "Standard resolutions, I used it to add 4:3 and 3:2 resolutions for older games). I have a 144 Hz and 75 Hz monitor. I downclocked them to 120 Hz and 60 Hz.

[@Turvok]

Great.. But doesn't cover 3440x1440p.. 100hz. Which is what I really want and need.. Any advice?

i got 1440p 144hz on both gamer and elgato on the main computer but on the streaming computer it shows as 1440p60 in the software, any tips ?

[@EposVox]

1080p240 also needs it

[@imrin4059]

@@EposVox does it have to be premium certified?

[@nathankennedy4556]

do you think i could use eyefinity or surround to play 5760x1080 @75hz and duplicate the screen so the elgato only has a input going to it. even at 60hz would be fine i just want to know if its possible.

[@nathankennedy4556]

and if i get higher refresh rate monitors could i just keep it recording at the 60+ fps but have a much higher fps on my screen.

hi. i have a problem when i set the EDID to ether internal or default settings on 1080p144hz i get these green boxes around the gameplay i googled the problem but only found a poste that said that the pci slot in the stream pc has to be 2x4 and i think i have 2x1 is that the reason its wired my friend said that it works fine for him on the same pci stream pc

I am using only one monitor for PC streaming, I have all inputs correct with a 2560x1080 monitor, both HDMI 2.0 cables but my monitor cannot pickup the signal for my PC at all

[@JamimaLive]

Hey Epos, I recently got a 360hz monitor and I'm experiencing huge tearing with this card at 1080p. Have you done any testing/have any tips about this very niche subject? Thanks a ton!

[@EposVox]

There’s no capture card that supports 360hz so the only way to get 360hz on your monitor is forcing a clone to this card which is cloning to a different refresh rate and adding more tearing than would even be there in the first place. There really isn’t a fix. Until HDMI 2.1 capture cards come out that support 1080p360, software capture, NDI, or OBS projector previews out to a capture card is your only option

[@JamimaLive]

@@EposVox Thanks for the tips! Appreciate all the help you give.

[@Nikos4Life]

Hi there, thanks for the video. Does this method also works for higher than 144Hz? And GSYNC? Does this adds any problem to GSYNC behavior? Regards :)

[@EposVox]

This capture card only works at 144hz or lower for 1440p, 240hz or lower for 1080p. GSync/FreeSync is not supported on any capture card.

[@Nikos4Life]

EposVox Thanks for the answer buddy, so there is no way of making GSYNC works with capture cards even if you clone screens or other sort of trick right? So if anyone needs GSYNC working while having a dedicated streaming PC the only way is NDI? Also I have seen some sort of workarounds for 165Hz or higher in 1440p. (I am just talking about passthrough and being able of using 165Hz instead of “just”144Hz). Regards, Nikos

[@ICOnlyBlue]

I just want to see a full guide on dual pc setup with different refresh rate for gaming and streaming, with the correct color range/type, canvas size using obs projector. No good videos out there and is frustrating for someone who plays on 1080p 240hz monitor and wants to stream at 720p 60hz on elgato 4k60 pro. I know for sure i am losing quality because I don't know what should do the downscaling and overall what is the best way to it. I am dying to see that video.
