Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ive bought this PCLE as I have a pretty good PC build and I hate having wires all over the place. I also started playing the PS5 a bit more so I wanted to be able to capture at the best quality and also stream easily from the PC. This PCLE made everything so easy Plug and play 4 minute install for everything, You will have to download the software for the Elgato and let it update some stuff do a restart and youre good to go. One thing I will note if you run into the issue of not hearing your audio from the PS5 to your headphones / speakers that you made an output for all you simply need to do is unplug the PS5 HDMI and plug back in. Unfortunately, PS5 and Audio settings with the whole layout is dumb but what can we do. 10/10 product but keep in mind if you want to have a nice Professional setup to be able to speak to people on the PS5 Game chat / PS5 Party chat - Stream you will need to get the Elgato Wave Pro XLR + and XLR Mic. My investment went from this to buying a complete Elgato stream setup costing 1.2k but its worth the money. The Stream Deck XL is super cool as well I was like what is the point of paying that much just to click buttons but once you start using it and seeing how customizable everything is.

Elgato's confusing naming made it difficult to figure out that this is a brand new product. The 4K60 MK2 is the previous model. This one doesn't include a low profile bracket and seems to have quality control issues. Passthrough doesn't work on mine and others have reporteded the same issue. I tried multiple HDMI cables. So I'm returning it for a defect. The Elgato 4K Capture Utility is clunky and it's strange that this "capture" program is how you change settings. They should improve the UI and add descriptions of what the different settings do. It's missing one feature that I was hoping to get, but isn't listed in any specs. It doesn't support 24 bit audio, only 16 bit audio. It DOES support both 48khz and 44.1khz audio but I only tried 48khz which is the standard for video. I couldn't get 4k and higher refresh rates to work with the included HDMI cable and an Alienware M16R2 laptop. Only 4k 60Hz showed up with the virtual monitor presented by this device with internal EDID settings. It may work if you plug in a higher Hz monitor to the output port, but passthrough didn't work for me so I couldn't try it.

Been using elevators since the original elgato, had the Og elgato, hd60s , hd60 pro and now 4k pro. The best capture cards easy to install and software is super easy to use. I use this for my dual pc streaming setup and the passthrough is instant and seamless. Audio easy to get working on 2 pc setup also you can’t go wrong with this card

Plays my PS5 & Xbox Series X at the highest quality with all the HDR, VRR and ALLM features with no lag. Paired with OBS studio I can live stream In full 4K 60fps on YouTube. Looks Incredible!

Excellent PCIE Capture card, my personal recommendation for anyone in the market. Fluid recording, 8k passthrough, and an easy and intuitive setup experience.

What can you say that hasn’t already been said about this capture card? It’s super awesome!! Make sure you have the pc slots though. It’s powerful and i love the graphics it renders !! Of course monitor not included lol

The best video capture on the market in love it thanks

I just upgraded to the Elgato 4K Pro, and wow — this thing is a game changer. The picture quality is absolutely beautiful, everything looks crystal clear and super smooth. I’ve been using it with my PS5, and the difference is night and day. No lag, no weird stuttering — just pure, clean gameplay exactly how it should look. Setup was super simple too. I just plugged it in, connected the HDMI cables, and it worked right away. No complicated setup or tech headaches. Within minutes I was recording and streaming in 4K like a pro. What I really love is how smooth and consistent it is. Even during long gaming sessions, it never lags or overheats. The colors look amazing — bright, detailed, and real — and it makes every stream or video feel high-quality without me having to mess with settings. If you want your gameplay to actually look as good as it feels when you’re playing, this is the one to get. It’s fast, easy to use, and makes your setup feel instantly more professional. Elgato really nailed it with this — it’s 100% worth the upgrade.

I'm not much of a gamer and I don't stream at all. I mostly play cozy games on my PC and on my Switch 2. I live in a small space and sometimes don't have access to a TV and have been wanting to play my Switch games on my PC monitor or to show my friends what I'm playing on discord. Ive been told that this capture card is a little over the top for what I'm doing and a little pricy but I bought it because it was a brand I actually recognize and the products I bought from them are good an easy to use. I will say the same about this capture card. It's good and it was easier to install then I thought (I was a little worried id break something but I watched a few YouTube videos and it was as simple as the instructions say). The ability to pop my switch into it's dock and have it playing no problem on monitor without having to switch the HDMI cables or mess with much is great. Is it pricey? Yes. But I don't regret splurging on it and I've played my switch 2 even more now I have the option. My relatively uneducated opinion is I like and recommend this capture card.

I got the Elgato 4K Pro 8K60 for my setup, and it’s been great. It was easy to install and started working right away with my PC. I mostly use it for streaming on Twitch, sharing gameplay on Discord, and uploading videos to YouTube. The quality is super clear, and everything runs smooth with no lag or dropped frames. It’s also been really helpful for recording B-roll footage from games. The passthrough works perfectly, so I can play at full quality while recording at the same time. Everything just works the way it should, which makes my life a lot easier. If you're making content and want something reliable, this is a great choice.

If you're capturing video from A Switch 2, PS5, Xbox, or a 2nd pc, this capture card is built for that. I enjoy the lag free capturing that does not sacrifice video quality. I also enjoy the lag free passthrough it offers, still allowing me to play on without any mishaps.

Practically plug and play. Love that we don't have to use a USB for power but the passthrough doesn't work when the PC is off so for our setup we still need to make compromises but hoping this is a reliable card for streaming.

This works great! It was a simple instalation and download for the apps. Runs my camera great with only one problem... I need a 4k monitor now to see how good it is myself. Would recommend.

Everything has been what I expected from Elgato. Works well and is a good piece of hardware. Little pricey but its a good buy

The installation was easy and fit with my 4070 super mid tower. software is simple works great with obs, discord, and has very low latency. easy to plug into devices and labeled for input output clearly for passthrough.

This is a huge upgrade in technology and video quality when capturing and streaming over the 4KX. I would recommend this if you can use it in your system

If you make gameplay videos an stream this is a perfect capture card for you high quality pass through makes it easy to have goo quality videos and streams

This is the best capture card you can buy for a dual pc setup it records in 4k 60fps which is really good I would buy it again

Years ago I bought an external version and had many connectivity issues. This one in the one everyone with a pc should get. It records at high quality and bypass to play 4k120fps

Love it! Works well. Bought it to stream ps5 and switch games.
