[@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?🥹

[@KleskReaver]

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

THANK U

[@sutterhall8401]

This little comment was exactly what I needed.

[@CasualSome1]

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...

[@BigDaddySlick78]

THIS... is the comment of all the comments. Thank you! Saved me hours of tinkering!

[@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.

btw i already fixed mine by going fast vsync on both PCs without disabling gsync not sure why but it works

[@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.

[@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!

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?

5 years later and this is still a pain. I'm surprised nvidia or someone has not jumped in with a simple solution. Ideally it would just be some box that scales whatever to 1080 60. I know it's not easy, but they could at least make something that would do 240 fps or 120 fps to 60, which should be easier.

[@CasualSome1]

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.

[@itsrp2507]

RoughTide Ah sorry i thought you meant with your monitor whilst you were recording. You can’t really do much about the screen tearing that comes with the capture card. clickbait i guess

[@pujiea]

SlawbunniesNuts I tried dual pc a year ago. I encountered a few problems with the screen tearing mainly due to different refresh rate of my monitors. What I know that will work just fine is with ndi or capture, you need either both monitors to be 144hz or 60hz or 240hz. That's the only solution that I know will work 100%. However, I doubt everyone uses a 144hz monitor as a second monitor, so there's gotta be a way using one 144hz and one non 144hz. I look forward to the solution tho

[@pujiea]

yeah I just remembered why I didn't consider NDI was because it really did eat performance. my gaming cpu is 6700k, I don't know how well it works with 2700x or 1700x. It could totally be nothing for those cpus, but I doubt it

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

I did want to ask one question - When I use 2 pc for my stream, my Stream PC is HDMI connected of course through my current El Gato HD 60 Pro, but I get horrible screen tearing due to my game PC using a 144hz monitor. This 4k card can handle 1080 144hz so its perfect for me, BUT, does the STREAM PC monitor, need to be a 144hz monitor, or will it not matter? I figure it won't and that the monitor just won't give me the 144hz but that the Capture card will still reciprocate the 144hz input from my game PC, and not produce screen tearing since it actually supports 144hz. I do not need a 144hz HDMI monitor on top of this card do I?

[@EposVox]

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)?

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

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

[@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

[@SuperExplorer007]

Can u also pls make a video to use this card to stream on a single pc ?

[@EposVox]

There is no reason to use a capture card for a single PC stream, nor does it provide any benefit.

[@SuperExplorer007]

@@EposVox thanks, I blew my 1080 SLI while streaming. I was concerned that maybe it was due to streaming without a capture card but I guess it was just the dust that I found them to be chocked with in the inside than!

[@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 ??

[@FannyPackDave]

did I miss in there how you get the video to the second pc (streaming PC)?

[@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? I think clones and passthrough strip off freesync and/or HDR? I'm new to this dual setup and trying to figure out a way to have everything work. Actually using NDI which ain't optimal IMO

[@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!

[@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

[@HeXBLiTz]

Care to explain the reason as to why you chose integrated for the PC clone and display for the pass through?

[@EposVox]

It can't do Display if you're cloning because you're not running the HDMI out to your display for it to grab EDID from. In general you want it to match your display settings, which is why you do choose Display for passthrough.

[@HeXBLiTz]

EposVox so I'd have to manually change it each time switching between console with HDMI pass through and PC when I clone the output?

[@EposVox]

Don't have to, but it would be ideal.

[@LFPPtudios]

I'm really new to PC and I want to record gameplay with the Elgato 4K. I only have a one monitor PC set up. If my question is answered within the video, I completely missed it or don't understand so I'm sorry. Can I use the Elgato 4k with a one monitor set up PC or do I need to get a second monitor to use it

[@RYTETV]

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

[@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.

[@MRFOURKAY]

Brother I need your Help , with my Elgato60 HD S " I have a Green Screen and Logitech 930c 1080p Camera & Blu-Yeti Microphone & i also have Alienware Aurora i7 8th Gen 3.6 ghz 6 cores , with 32 Gb ddr4 Ram & Geforce Gtx 1080 graphics card , i also have my Camera , Elgato & Microphone all connected to USB 3.0 ports . When i press record , my Camera feed and Audio is Always out of sync , i have tried everything from lowering the bitrate and resolution , but nothing seem to work , if you have any ideas or recommendations , it would be much appreciated ,Thank you in advance .

[@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

[@jarkiro]

thoughts on using a HDMI 2.0 to Display Port 1.4 Adapter in the HDMI out on the capture card to gaming monitor display port? Cloning has some very strange behaviour with games in Fullscreen.

[@EposVox]

Those adapters are DP to HDMI, not HDMI to DP. HDMI to DP is very rare and expensive

[@jarkiro]

@@EposVox doesn't that mean the adapter would just be plugged in at the monitor end? I'm confused.

[@EposVox]

Nope, the conversion is one way. DP OUT to HDMI OUT. I've tested it, it doesn't work the other way. The converters and power draws inside are different.

[@jarkiro]

@@EposVox good to know. Thanks!

[@jarkiro]

Cost aside, would one of the rare HDMI to DP converters be a viable option? Or just asking for trouble?

[@BlackWyrmTV]

Wow you saved me twice in one weeks time epos

[@EposVox]

That’s my job!

[@KingJoey.]

Does the goxlr and microhpone plug into the streaming or gaming PC?

[@papaannefranku9693]

Quick question my streaming/recording pc has a r9 fury nano which according to amd doesn't support 4k60 fps recording, if I upgrade to a 4k60 pro will i be able to use my cpu which is a ryzen 5 1600 to capture 4k 60fps content from my gaming pc to my hard drive?

[@KleskReaver]

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?

[@Lariendel1]

I'm going to try this but do you think there will be any issues if the gaming pc has an ultrawide monitor? I know there will be black bars on the videos but I'll fill it out.

[@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

[@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)?

[@Benjahites]

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

[@AnthonyHall33]

Thank you EposVox for another great video! So I have done everything to the T the way you described. I am having 1 issue. When I go back to the 4K Capture Utility it is showing 1080f60 still under Video Input. Any idea? I am going the DisplayPort route.Thanks in advance!

[@CaptainGambit]

Wonder if you resolved this issue 2 years later if so what was the fix?

[@AnthonyHall33]

Captain Gambit Part of me thinks my issues was a setting in my monitor but it’s been so long I don’t remember. I’m sorry. I do remember that I removed the software and reinstalled it as well. Wish I could be more help.

[@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.

[@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..

[@danncozey]

I almost threw up when I saw your desktop dude omg lol great vid though x

[@olii]

I've cloned my 1080p240hz monitor and in 4K Utility it says 1080p60. The reason I sold my HD60 Pro and bought this 4K60 Pro was so I could stream without screen tearing while cloning to my monitor. The issue I'm getting still occurs, when tabbing out of a game, it gives me a black screen and I have to wait for a while to then see the desktop (this only happens when I'm cloning). Another issue I get when cloning is that when moving windows or scrolling it seems like it's 60hz but moving my mouse it is 240hz. I've read online that this card does support 1080p240hz but in the Nvidia control panel it only goes upto 1080p120 and when cloning my monitor it says 240hz but in the 4K Utility it's only 1080p60.

[@jayrambo1855]

Great job bud.

[@EposVox]

Thanks

[@ZROD]

So my stream pc doesn't recognize the capture card but my gaming pc recognized the card as a second monitor... When trying to open OBS or 4k utility the card is nowhere to be found... Any help is greatly appreciated

[@EposVox]

Did you install the drivers from Elgato's website?
