Really solid capture card. Best for capturing things like Xbox or PS - but note audio capture can be goofy and require some troubleshooting. But it’s a great started capture card!

This little thing made it so easy for me to stream my switch/xbox games to twitch/pc. Works amazing! I love it!

The Elgato is hands-down one of the best audio interfaces I’ve used for streaming and content creation. From the moment I set it up, I noticed a huge upgrade in sound quality, clarity, and control. The build feels premium with a sleek, compact design that looks great on any desk setup.

I upgraded to this unit after my old HD Capture device kicked the bucket. This is basically an update to that version, allowing 60 FPS capture at 1080p. Since this device also uses USB-C, it has very decent passthrough and you could possibly play your game through your computer's monitor. All in all, the price is okay for this unit and it functions well in streaming as well. If you were using any previous versions of the ElGato software, you'll need to upgrade to a newer software from their website.

I'll start the review by saying that I was in the market for a capture card for quite some time and figured I would pull the trigger on one. Elgato just seemed like a good place to start and I was right. Setup was extremely simple. It was pretty much plug and play and I was capturing without any issues. Well, all but one. I noticed that anytime that I was playing in HDR and attempting to record in HDR, it just wasn't happening. I could get audio/video just fine and all that but recordings just weren't saving. I didn't look into this ahead of time but it's a known thing with users with AMD Graphics instead of those with NVIDIA. I could disable my HDR on my Xbox Series S and it would record just fine. My experience otherwise was spot on and even their support responded in a timely fashion. In the end, I returned the capture card. I spend 3-4 days troubleshooting the HDR issue and came to the conclusion that I really didn't need a capture card. It was more of a want and the HDR issue put the cherry on top. I would still highly recommend this to anyone but beware if you have AMD graphics and want to record in HDR.

I use this primarily for streaming from my switch and ps5 and it does a pretty good job keeping up with the games I play. Doesn't get hot even though I streamed for hours with it and works well with Obs. Highly recommend it if you're thinking about streaming!

works great for capturing switch gameplay. very easy to set up and use

I absolutely own three of these. I love them, very responsive love the pass-through function for a reviewing monitor. I use them for my Canon cameras. They are exceptionally high quality, lightweight, and easy to connect.

Great product great company Everything went. Smoothly was set up. Nothing was wrong with the product.

This item is really useful. No foul play so far, and easy use

The elgato capture card is a magnificent item for streaming other consoles like the switch and consoles without the hassle of using the stream buttons from the consoles themselves. Would highly recommend this item to those who want to stream their console games from their pc

Love this device! So easy to set up and use for streaming and/or recording.

Works great and very simple to use. I use it for streaming PS5 content. I can also use it to pass through the sound to the PC if I want to use the PS5 on the monitor instead of tv, because the monitor has no speakers or audio output.

great to jump start your streaming career! Got this as my first capture card

Works great. Easy to connect and setup. Had no problems with it.

Amazing product! It works great, does what needed and easy setup

I bought this as soon as I could, I have been using the HD60 S+, however it was not working well at all when gaming on my Xbox Series X. Right out of the box, I plugged it in, found it uses the same software as the HD60 S+. I gave it a try and with a little help with my friends adjusted a few settings around to get it prepped for a stream. I streamed CoD Vanguard (lots of video to process) for 3 hours and not one time did it freeze up on me. This is a PERFECT addition to my stream set up to allow for seamless game streaming!

Good product works well for price although can be a little bit difficult to set up

Its 150 dollars, which can be steep and there are cheaper options out there. However the quality of the product and how easy it is to use basically worth it. I had 0 issues with it so far which i cant say abt other capture cards so farn.

I Love Elgato and this card, I ran into the no signal issue for a bit, and it not letting me do 1440p at 120hz on Series X with wqhd game monitor auto reverting to 1080 120hz. So: (COMPREHENSIVE ANY SCENARIO FIX) turn off YCC 4.2.2 on your console in video modes, set display type to auto detect on xbox video fidelity and overscan page. Open Elgato 4k capture utility, click the cog for settings, go to device and set input EDID to Display, and dont forget to do the same for your prefered streaming software, Obs, Streamlabs, Xplit, ect. Reset everything for the sake of it your signal should have already started working and all resolution options available for your display type will be available, I did all of this and still had no signal fyi, So the last solution that fixed it after everything else stated that needs to be done regardless, If still no signal unplug all your usb ports and swap the one for the capture card till it puts out a signal then replug everything else back in. No issues since.
