🎮 Renewed Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro: Stream and Record in Crisp 1080p Quality! Review

If I could give this card 0 stars I would. Where do I even begin. What about the lack of instructions for actually installing the thing. I thought it would be like any other PCIe card. You plug it in, download drivers and software. NO! In the beginning it all started with the fact that the card could not even be found. Then I corrected once that it was a signal error. I've spent HOURS with tech support and the internet trying to fix the issue. The best answer I got was to play a game of duck…

I ran a small trial to get the USB 3.0 version of this capture card working on my old computer. I'm running a 2600K processor and while the card is technically outside of specs, it worked for a while but inevitably shut down after a while. I don't blame the card. Let's be honest, my computer is old and apart from the processor, there might be problems with the USB setup. But after weeks of frustrating tech support with Elgato, I couldn't get it to work reliably, so I ended up reverting to the…

This card worked great for me. However, to use the hardware encoding in h.264 you need to use the Elgato software (for example I'm using OBS and I'm still stuck on the CPU encoding). Since that's basically the main argument for a basic capture card, I wasn't impressed with the cost. I don't want to be locked into using the manufacturer's software - I've already set up my software and it's not doing what I want it to do. VCR), so I lowered it to 1 start and returned it.

.but I knew I wanted to play on my PS5 (and possibly Switch) via PC build. I stream on Twitch maybe twice a month or so (I have a toddler and work full time locally, not remotely like some of you lazy mofos). I don't need any more cables than I already have with 3 monitors, a docking station for my work laptop and an extension cable, HDMI, duoports etc. So I wanted an internal card. I didn't want to deal with delays, blah blah blah, and all that nonsense either. Like I said, I'm old, I don't…

So I took a chance as it's less than half the price new at Revain or elsewhere, but I've spent nearly six hours recording since I received it this morning and it's absolutely spotless. - Everything came nicely packaged. You get a card, a flat mount, and a fairly long HDMI cable. Everything was like new, I couldn't even tell it was used. The drivers were automatically installed on Windows 10 - OBS took up this immediately and developed a no-configuration gate. - I had no freezes or glitches…

Installation was easy. I installed it in an empty PCIe slot on the motherboard and connected the HDMI cables from the console to the TV. Installed the Elgato software/drivers from their website and everything was fine. Personally, I prefer to use OBS instead of game capture software just for setup purposes while streaming. Although other users claim that you need to use Elgato software, you can use other software that supports capture device video. I don't need instructions or tech support to…

Cam Link is a trick. As an experienced streamer using the camera in full screen mode, using this with a mirrorless digital camera was the logical next step for my live streaming. Not a gamer as I stream and play music myself. About a year and a half ago I received a first generation Elgato Cam Link as a gift and it was awful. Grainy, poor quality, especially with the Sony camcorder I hooked it up to. I returned Cam Link and removed Handycam. At the end of my rope with the Logitech webcam…
