Almost Perfect...
I used to use the prior HD60S capture card until the next gen Xbox Series X and Series S with the PS5 consoles came out to stream and capture FPS analyzes footage for my YouTube channel, but with the ability to do 120 FPS on the new consoles I stopped and got discouraged to stream using the capture cards that El Gato provided until now. Now with the new ElGato HD60X I get to game on my Xbox Series S at 120 FPS with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) so the input latency is delayed a bit and I don't have to sacrifice the higher fps in order to record and stream at the same time. The downside to this card, hence the 4 stars, is that it is a 120 FPS VRR limit at 1080P and not 1440P. it does VRR at 1440p or 4k but not at 120 HZ/FPS. I have tried updating both console and capture card, main computer and the actual HDMI cables and no success at running at 1440p 120fps. This is not an issue for me since I'm using an Xbox Series S which only does 120 FPS at maximum of 1080p anyway, but for anyone using an Xbox Series X that can be an issue. Still It might get fixed and for now it is the best external capture card you can buy hands down. I even purchased it and returned it then bought it again cause there was nothing out there that could come close to the quality and ease of use of this external capture card.

Elgato HD60 X External Capture Card
The Elgato HD60 remains my choice for those looking for dependable 1080p game capture with minimal hassle. Its combination of ease of use, portability, and reliable performance make it a great addition for mid-level streamers and gamers. However, those seeking 4K recording or standalone capture solutions may want to explore more advanced models or alternatives. The Elgato HD60 X is a the perfect robust choice for content creators looking to enhance their streaming or recording setup with advanced features like 4K pass-through, VRR, and HDR10 capture. Its combination of high-quality visuals, ease of use, and compatibility with modern gaming platforms makes it a worthwhile investment for those aiming for top-tier content creation.

Supports VRR for new consoles.
For all intents and purposes, the HD60 X works well and is effective for the primary use case of capturing or streaming game footage via OBS. One of my edge case purposes though is to use the passthrough feature when the capture card is hooked up a USB switch that toggles between my mac and pc. For PC, there's actually very little issues to consider and Elgato's 4k Capture Application is perfect for when you want to play games via passthrough without latency while being able to retroactively capture gameplay. For Mac, they actually sunset their native Mac OS equivalent for Game Capture and no longer update it except for security features; which means that the last supported external card device is the HD60+. If you use the HD60 X, you're forced to use OBS or QuickTime, which has a bit of latency if you try to game through passthrough. Keep that in mind and you'll enjoy this device fully. I recommend the HD60+ if you still want to use a Mac with the legacy Elgato application.
