The Capture Card For NEXT GEN Consoles? [HD60 X Review]

[@GamingCareers]

UPDATE: Elgato have updated the HD60 X to now officially support NVIDIA G-SYNC! 👏

[@KleskReaver]

literally came here to post this :) gonna grab one when I can

[@drdarkfury]

Will HD60x passthrough support for 2k 144Hz monitor ?

[@KleskReaver]

@@drdarkfury i believe its 2k 120hz, the cards passthrough refresh rates are in multiples of 60, likely due to timing sync with VRR

[@drdarkfury]

@@KleskReaver So if i have 2k monitor and I passthrough it can I play games with 120 HZ ?

[@KleskReaver]

@@drdarkfury yeah 2560x1440 120hz will work :)

[@CyberDiver91]

I've been wanting to upgrade from my old Elgato Capture HD, the one that came out prior to the HD60S, and this seems like a good time to do so.

[@THE_SMOKE_SHOW_]

The biggest issue Ive run into with the PS5 is if youre using headphones it disables audio over the HDMI and if use wired headphones into the controller the result is the same no HDMI audio and listening back via the passs through or through some sort of line out is audio latency which is terrible if youre playing something like warzone where footsteps can save you

[@JeremyLeech]

You need the chat link to record the audio

[@or10nsharkfin]

The work-around Elgato suggests (and has developed on their end) is the Chat Link. The Chat Link Pro is $20 (or regional equivalence) and is built specifically for this purpose.

[@GamingCareers]

Console streamers, what capture card do you currently use? What do you think of the HD60 X?

[@SilvaShadow1990]

I feel the HD60X is pretty neat. I just wished the 4KCU was improved a bit more. Using my old HD60 Pro alongside either OBS Studio and GCHD Software, I can play off of the preview anything really. But using the 4kCU, I noticed there's a slight long delay which definitely isn't great. I have even tried recording with 4kCU and videos sometimes stutter. Shouldn't matter because my Desktop is up to date on everything really.

[@citizenstrife]

HD60S has held up like a champ for 3 years even with a slightly frayed cable. I will look into this new one if it ever gives up the ghost.

[@BLamb]

I currently use the HD60 S+, and it works as great as I’d like it to! I don’t think the HD60X is worth getting at the moment if you have at least an HD60S. The enhancements of the X are neat but not a big selling point, IMO.

[@GetYourPhilUp]

What should I use for PS4/Switch? I’m brand new to streaming, I currently just use the PS4 to Twitch integration

[@citizenstrife]

@@GetYourPhilUp HD60S or above. Trying to stream via consoles leads to "blocked scenes" on the developer side. You can never tell what games are subject to this, nor how much. A capture card avoids that issue.

[@BLamb]

Even if I had next-gen consoles, I’d still be completely satisfied with my HD60 S+. Definitely sticking with that for the foreseeable future.

[@swrveGaming]

For a new buyer it’s a no brainer being that it’s only $20 mire

[@Lying29]

Since I have PC with thunderbolt support, there is a struggle between this HD60X and the AverMedia GC553. There is a price difference for $100 but I am curious how good the latency is for this usb capture card compared to thunderbolt cards.

[@Akumahades]

I've got Asus TUF CU4K30 for my PS5, and it has reached my expectations so far.

[@Mitchie132]

Can you use a Elgato HD60 X for a laptop? Bc I don’t own a pc or do you have any recommendations?

[@jordanmarazzi]

Did you find this out bro ???? And if so what laptop have you got , I sold my pc last year and game capture card but I want to return to YT but don’t know what laptop to get

[@la_buge]

Am I the only one getting trouble to capture my console ? (Switch) I’m plugged on the usb3.0 port, the hdmi also plugged like it as to be but when I open obs or the 4K capture utility, it shows me few second the screen from my switch and then freeze instantly, like it can’t capture it but I don’t understand why… I already use a 4kcamlink to stream with my dslr and it works perfectly. So weird, I’m kind of lost… I’m going to try with another usb cable that handle up to 10gbps but not sure will work.

[@bobsagget9960]

Did you ever find a solution to this? cause im finding the hd60x never works. Ive tried 2 different ones and no luck. Same issue on OBS and the 4K capture Utility (only one is installed when im testing) but it is 2 seconds of a picture then freezes.. I dont know how to solve it. I just wanna stream my PS5 for the homies on discord.

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Thanks for the top notch videos mate! My go to guy for streaming tech []-)

[@ahmoneemay1342]

what game was that you was playing @ beginning of video??

[@KingCoCo]

What’s the game you’re showing in the video? The shooting one?

[@PokeGaz]

Hi mate, great video. Im looking at getting one of these, purchasing a sony camera with it to use as a webcam for live streaming. Would you recommend for this function?

[@1937Brett]

How do u turn the VRR on?

[@theelitegamer1980]

i might buy this since before i used that avermedia light and the program to use it is no longer on there site.. new pc then no longer able to use it

[@Bry.89]

Nowadays most people have an AMD FreeSync or "G-sync Compatible" monitor which is still basically freesync. So it's not a huge concern that it doesn't support g-sync monitors.

[@PedroNWO]

hello! I got excited when you talked about hdr tone mapping but other streamer said otherwise. You said that you can play in HDR and have a SDR signal in OBS, right? HD60S+ did that as well but the colors were a mess. Can you confirm that HD60 X does this correctly? Can I play in HDR and stream SDR with OBS with correct colors/saturation, etc? Thanks a lot for your response. This is what I need to be sure about to make the purchase. Greetings from Ecuador

[@Mr-Dutchy-Dutch]

the thing about this new Elgato Capter Card HD60 X is there isn't any drivers for it on the elgato website so I wasn't able to use it so I took it back and got my money back I got all the other capter cards but this new one NO DRIVERS FOR IT !!

[@jeremyw.5729]

it can passthrough 4k 60 HDR, but is the HDR in the 4:4:4 color format, or will it be limited to 4:2:2 or 4:2:0?

[@7bkdanbabu707]

@elgato i wanna buy elgato hd60 x plus but my tv supports 4k uhd Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos and HDR 10+ and auto low latency but if connect elgato hd60 x plus between my tv and my xbox series x then all my tv features will still work in my xbox series x ???

[@itsbeerme487]

So you have to get something to capture chat?

[@swank_oh]

I may have not set it up correctly with my series s. it seems to constantly lose connection the return back on. on any resolution. could be my monitor? does it on 720p too.

[@JulianJohnston919]

Can you use a surface pro 6 or ipad as the 2nd monitor? Also how critical is a 2nd monitor to record switch games and Series X games to post to youtube?

[@SuspenceF00L_Gaming]

Only issue with this capture card is you can’t play mw2 or apex legends and use a secondary monitor. It just drops the resolution or makes you play off of the computer

[@chrisxetal]

Which USB-C to USB-C cable (what product) should I use with the Elgato HD60X? There are very different qualities of cables on the market, some are very slow.

[@Zaddy_Dynamite]

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the series x . I have elgato hd60 s . Will that work or do I need to get one of these ?

[@ihatesxrub]

Is this like the 60s+ & can use on obs on an iMac?

[@ChickenBark]

Is there any possible way to have audio from your console and PC to come out of one output which is my headset but wirelessly? I like being able to not have any wires or cables tangle me while I game and I can just get out of seat without taking my headset off. Thanks and great thorough video reviewing the Elgato HD60 X.

[@BCampCreator]

i use the astro mixamp pro with both the ps5 and series x to get audio from pc and game at the same time. run pc audio to the aux port on the back of the mixamp and for audio on ps5 your should run a 3mm jack from stream port to line in on capture card

[@alonelysnakeinvr587]

I got the both Elgato HD60 X an 4k60 pro mk2 with I7 An 2080 Graphic card As VR Creator on YT Wen I was recording before I found out why my PC was Struggling So I bout all this stuff Hope VR will turn out great

[@jinniisama]

Using it on OBS makes it really nice to play it on preview screen but is there a fix on the audio delay ? I'm not setting it up for streaming purposes

[@BestGamesJustin]

with this external capture card do I need to also have a 4k monitor to record 4k? I don t think so but wanna check it with you, thanks for the help!

[@eccentricgamerr9516]

I dont get the option for 1440p on my xbox when im using the elgato hd60 x. Is there a setting or software i need?

[@NagataLockII]

Any plans to review any of AverMedia's capture cards?

[@MattMannHere]

So no 4k@120hz record?

[@squadwionyt4797]

thank you works for hd60x also!

[@DonLago]

HELP! When I plug this into my computer (I've downloaded everything) it does not show up in stream labs! What do I do?

[@KSIxBluntRoller]

So I need this to stream on my ps5 can’t use the hd60s+??

[@xiVSQUIRRELVix]

will the HD60x work on an old Xbox One

[@roseofnights]

How about lags in obs when using it with the mac m1?🥺

[@NurembergSwampWater]

My question is will it capture my voice when in game because my headset connects to my Xbox through Bluetooth and can't be plugged in?

[@cyprustoxic8036]

I play in ps5 and i take this card but after 1 hours+ the sounds in stream is 2-3 seconds back after i press deactivate and activate and the sound in the game is fixed why???

[@kashgb5456]

Hi when I record gameplay using elgato Hd60x the capture is all laggy/choppy

[@Mkgaming252]

Do I need a pc in order to use this capture card? I want to use for Xbox console

[@MrSkinnyb0231]

What about 4k 120 pass-through

[@franticuploader3668]

Exactly. These capture cards are useless if they nerf your Series X to 60 on your own screen. And I don't understand it from an engineering stand point. If you take the signal in via HDMI, why not have wiring needed to pass original signal out to your monitor, and wiring to input the capture card (which then can be caputred/streamed at 60)?? Is an HDMI splitter a solution?

[@2ELI0]

Use a 4k 120 Hz splitter and u should be good to go as a workaround. There are no capture cards available with HDMI 2.1 compatibility yet, sadly.

[@killunmommy2tv854]

Streaming game audio goes in and out while streaming on ps4 trying everything but can't get it to work help me lol fr tho

[@isaiahthechristiangamer8716]

Can I use this capture card for Nintendo Switch?

[@allenofblacksteel9169]

is it include the software or without the software? Can I use on my gaming laptop monitor to play ps5 game with max enjoyment without any blurry crap like the way I bought capture card with only 15 dollar on eBay.

[@ZAIBYR]

Can I use this with a single monitor and switch the input back over to HDMI while playing?

[@Korenski23VO]

for non smarty tech ppl does VRR just mean there is not going to be a lag between what I see and what my stream sees?

[@TheGebs24]

There is no other creator like you! This video is amazing and easily digestible

[@beautifulcaramelman]

How can we put the phrase "next gen" next to 30fps?

[@nathanbrittain3595]

Love your videos, keep up the good work!! Your channel has really taught me a lot of things about streaming. Thanks

[@CvDudeGaming]

So what is the solution for someone like me who is trying to capture 1440p120hz from my Xbox Series X to my PC...?

[@ChanceTrahan]

What's a great cheap capture device? I found one on Amazon and it's decent, but the screen goes black sometimes which is also dropping the sound. I use this for call of duty mobile and when it does that, I can't hear the enemy's footsteps when I'm gaming. It completely ruins the experience for the viewer. I've tried buying new HDMI cords, and it drops less now, but it is still happening. I tried lowering the graphics quality and framerate to medium, but it still happens for some reason. Anything you can advise me with is appreciated. Thank you!

[@iamalthepal]

What is the latency on pass through? Anyone know?

[@dufd11]

Epos Vox said it's 31ms pass through to obs which is the lowest he's tested, not bad. Pass through to tv / monitor was real-time apparently.

[@iamalthepal]

@@dufd11 not bad at all. I just recently got xr1pro great card

[@SHMOGIE_TheMyth]

I cannot get the ps5 to pass through 120 fps. My game keeps saying it's sitting at 60 fps when the Elgato HD60x is plugged in and running in OBS or 4k Capture. Any fixes?

[@pipq8809]

Hi there, I’m in the early stages of becoming a content creator myself. All I need is a capture card. My store has it for $315 Au. Saw this video so thought I’d say hey. Is this still a good capture card for PS5 and for beginners and not to complicated. I’d like to hook it up to my PS5 to my PC and then upload to KZbin. I have a ssd on my PC. An use my LG Oled as a screen. Also dose the capture card have a hdd Thank you

[@Batman00785]

I like your video a lot, your video help me a lot to understand about this Elgato

[@franticuploader3668]

I'd say capture cards that only pass through 60 fps are pretty useless. Giving up the 4k120 fps capability of the Series X is not going to happen, just so I can control the stream better (vs direct streaming from the Series X). I would think Elgato knew the Series X could put out 120 fps for a long time even before the Series X was released. So what's their excuse for not having the capability to pass through 4k120? Of course I only need to stream at 1080p 60, due to Twitch garbage bit rate restrictions, so from that stand point, these capture cards are fine.

[@TurboRolo]

Super informative, thank you 😊

[@Svgbrazenmeerkatshorts]

This was very helpful thank tou

[@xbigd4lifex]

can u play games its 120fps on ps5? i know the s+ is limited to 60fps which is lame on the ps5

[@thebufoon]

If games don't have capped 30 and 60 then yeah you can reach over it. Like Ghost of Tsushima. Games like MK11 has capped 30 fps and on arenas capped 60 fps.

[@sachimuchi1346]

Hi there , can you please have my one request. Can you please make a video testing elgato HD X using ipad 2021 pro 5 generation (with M1) CHIP. You will get a lot of views , you can check on apple and elgato forms or reddit forms people are searching all over but they can’t find a capture card that is compatible with ipad pro 2021 M1 chip. Things required for this video are - 1. Ipad pro 2021 2. Elgato HD X 3. 4k capture utility software (from elgato site). 4. Type c to hdmi apple adapter that’s all please make a video about this

[@KainsTorment]

Hi great video I have 2 questions... Question 1) I'm not a streamer but I just want to Record my PS4 Pro & PS5 gameplay with game audio in HDR 4K60 for over a hour then edit it in Final Cut Pro X on my 2023 Mac Pro M2 Ultra. Would the Elgato HD60 X let me do do that? Question 2) Would the Elgato HD60 X let me record my Mac gameplay of World of Warcraft / Diablo 3 with game audio in HDR 4K60 then edit it in Final Cut Pro X on my 2023 Mac Pro M2 Ultra? Basically OBS hates me and my Macs, if I try to record my Mac gameplay using OBS the picture is always furry even at max settings - plus wihatever plug in I use (even "Blackhole") I just cant record the game audio. So would the Elgato HD60 X meet my needs? I have this Mac… 2023 Mac Pro Apple M2 Ultra with 24-core CPU, 60-core GPU, 32‑core Neural Engine 64GB unified memory Main Mac Storage 8TB SSD With Two Separate PCIe Cards Storage 24TB SSD for Movies & Video (24TB per PCIe Card, so 48TB in all)

Are you able to use the hd60x to pass through the audio of your console to your PC so that you can listen through that while playing? And if so, how is the delay of it?

[@wookie606]

absolutely, I do this with my 4k60pro and know people who do it with the HD60s etc, you just need to go to advanced audio settings, go to recording, double click on the elgato and go to the listen tab. Check the box and choose where you want the audio to go out :)

Quick question. Started twitch 3 weeks ago. Got decent amount of followers and viewers, became an affiliate after a week and a half, grew to 5.5 average viewers, had 5-6 viewers at a time, it also got to the 10s at times. Now the last few streams its been stuck on 1 viewer who just sits there and doesn't talk. what am I doing wrong? Is going 60 hr streams on my first month made twitch not push my content out or??

[@MelordJenkins]

Maybe not look at it in the aspect of streaming all day. You have to be captivating. You have to have charisma and other attributes even in skill in the game can get you recognized. Thinking that streaming all day every day is good, is what’s going to burn you out. It’s not a good look to think streaming for a long time should make you successful, being active isn’t the root to success. Your followers and residual viewers/supporters are responsible for growing your channel. If you have nothing for anyone to remember you by then why would they recommend someone to your channel? Just be yourself, it will come in time. Don’t expect it to happen soon. It doesn’t work like that

all sounds pretty good, but the real question is, What's the Price ? if it's like the last time where they overprice it and another company comes along, shows everyone that they can make a better product and sell it at half price and still make a profit .... need i say more ? Elgato has done well in advertising them self, and they don't need to do that anymore, what they do need to in order to get more customers, is sell their products at reasonable prices.

[@2ELI0]

Didnt you watch the video? He just showed it..

[@darkslide_everything]

I have two of these and i would NEVER recommend them. Trash capture cards for the price. Elgato support also refuses to acknowledge a long standing audio desync issue that you can search online, many people have it with HD60X and Windows.
