Elgato 4K X Capture Card, HDMI 2.1, 4K144 Ultra-Low Latency

Bought this to upgrade my original 1080p version of this device. Elgato make quality hardware, and this allowed me to upgrade to full 4K on my streaming set up. I use it with OBS and it just presents as a webcam, you don't need to install any extra software. I'm also able to take an extra audio feed out of it, so when i'm streaming, I can capture the audio both in OBS and also out via Discord so that other people joining me on stream can get a live feed as well. It's a solid bit of hardware, dead easy to use, high quality and have had no compatibility issues. Only thing to be aware of is that this kind of device does NOT work with HDCP - so for example, if I want to use Netflix on my main PC, it'll make the screen go blank once Netflix tries to kick in HDCP. It's not a fault in the device, HDCP is designed specifically to block this kind of thing to prevent piracy. Annoying, as while I have intention to pirate, I'd like to still be able to watch Netflix without rewiring my set up to remove the capture device each time. This will be common issue on all capture devices however. Back on the positive, it works well with my 4K 60hz screens and other than when watching Netflix, I have it in live use all the time even when not streaming, zero latency issues getting in the way at all. I also have a switch connecting it to all my consoles as well (PS5, Xbox Series X) and no issues there either, no compatibility issues at all (make sure HDCP is disabled on the PS5!). Great bit of kit, highly recommended.

Amazing capture quality on PS3/4/5, super easy to set up and use, but would recommend OBS over legato’s capture utility, as it crashes all the time. The device itself is great though. You do need a 10Gbps USB port to get max res out of it though

Captures consoles and other devices to my pc perfectly with no effort and high quality with no lag. Just be warned when you buy this product that you have usb ports that gives it enough bandwidth and power. It comes with a usb C to C cable so make sure your motherboard has one available or you can use a USB C to A cable if you have a usb 3.2 gen 2 port. Anything lower it won't support it and it's not worth buying.

A good reliable brand for capture card. A slight personal update as been using the HD60 X but this is for current modern console. Good video quality and functional. Good product

As someone who’s tested multiple capture solutions, the Elgato 4K X stands out for all the right reasons. Right out of the box, it impresses with a sleek, minimal design and plug-and-play simplicity. Setup is genuinely easy—no driver drama, no firmware fiddling. Just USB 3.2, and you’re good to go. Key strengths: Pristine 4K60 HDR10 Capture – The quality is razor-sharp with no compression artifacts. Whether you're streaming games, recording camera footage (what I mainly use it for), or creating content, this card captures detail and colour depth beautifully. VRR & Passthrough Support – Variable Refresh Rate support is a game-changer, especially if you're gaming on PS5 or Xbox Series X. No screen tearing, just buttery-smooth passthrough up to 240Hz at 1080p or 1440p. Ultra-Low Latency – You can monitor gameplay or live camera feeds in real-time without a hint of lag. Great for live streamers or hybrid work setups. Cross-platform Compatibility – Works seamlessly on both Windows and macOS, and with most popular software like OBS, Streamlabs, and even Zoom or Teams if you’re going the professional webcam route. Future-Proof – With full support for HDMI 2.1 features and high frame rates, this card is ready for both current-gen consoles and pro camera workflows. In short: the Elgato 4K X is an ideal choice for content creators, streamers, or professionals looking for reliability, top-tier capture quality, and features that won’t be outdated anytime soon.

Captures exactly as it says. No dropped frames. Can capture and pass through up to 4K at 120fps. Currently using it at 1440p at 120fps due to my monitor restrictions. All in all, it's an excellent product and high quality. It's expensive but it's worth it's price. Lastly, it works on low end device too.

Waste of my time and money. Tried every suggestion on youtube and in forums to stop my screen from going black every few minutes. It seemed to work at first, but within five minutes of use my screen kept flickering from the game to a black screen. OBS was showing the game was working in the background but for whatever reason this didnt work for me. Not reliable at all and not worth anywhere near the asking price of this product. Ridiculously over priced for such an item.

Another user list list as capturing 4K HDR10... it does not support HDR over 1440p60 Poor really since my Avermedia live gamer can record 4k60 with HDR... hmm

Rien à dire sur ce produit à part qu’il tient parfaitement ses promesses. Permet de capturer en grosse qualité, jusqu’à du 4k 144fps. Plug and Play. Très simple à installer et utiliser.

I bought an AverMedia UVC captrure card before trying the Elgato 4K X, and AverMedia (AM) advertises it as being UVC, well it was not and my linux OS could not properly use it or detect it. This was an internal PCIe capture card and the results on the AM were intermittent, sometimes I could record and the input would show up and sometimes not at all. Then i bought this external capture card, I was a bit worried about it being external and the bandwidth requirement over USB-C. Then I was worried about the UVC not being up to spec like the previous card I bought. Well I am glad to be proven wrong. This external capture card not only performs well in Linux it handles 4K 144Hz pass through like a champ. I can capture 4k@60hz in Linux without issues. I am pleasantly surprised. I am using Fedora and OBS (flatpak). I noticed the OBS flatpak performs better than the rpm package in the OS and the flatpak form flathub is also more up to date than the rpm package and fedora flatpak. I guess you get what you pay for.

Ho recentemente aggiunto l’Elgato 4K X al mio setup per catturare gameplay dalla Xbox Series X, collegata a una TV Samsung S95C 4K@120 Hz, utilizzando OBS su un MacBook Pro M2 Pro. Dopo alcune configurazioni iniziali, posso dire che il prodotto si è dimostrato un ottimo investimento per chi cerca una soluzione professionale per il game capture. Inizialmente, ho riscontrato un problema: la TV rimaneva con lo schermo nero e OBS non rilevava alcun segnale video. La soluzione è stata utilizzare il software Capture Device Utility di Elgato per aggiornare il firmware della scheda di acquisizione. Una volta completato l’aggiornamento, tutto ha iniziato a funzionare perfettamente. La qualità video offerta dall’Elgato 4K X è eccezionale. Ho effettuato test di streaming su Twitch e registrazione locale con OBS, e in entrambi i casi i risultati sono stati eccellenti. I video sono fluidi, con colori vibranti e dettagli nitidi, senza alcuna latenza percettibile. Il supporto al passthrough 4K a 120 Hz con HDR e VRR è un punto di forza notevole, permettendo di giocare con la massima qualità visiva mentre si registra o si streamma. La compatibilità con OBS su macOS è stata ottima. Ho apprezzato la facilità di configurazione e la stabilità durante l’utilizzo, sia per sessioni di registrazione prolungate che durante streaming live. La gestione del segnale audio e video è fluida e intuitiva, con opzioni di personalizzazione che soddisfano anche le esigenze di un content creator esigente. Un altro aspetto positivo è la robustezza del dispositivo e il suo design compatto, che si integra perfettamente in un setup senza ingombrare troppo spazio. Inoltre, il dispositivo non si surriscalda, nemmeno durante lunghe sessioni di utilizzo. A proposito, in dotazione sono presenti un comodo cavo HDMI 2.1 e uno USB-C 3.2 che garantiscono un segnale video perfetto e un collegamento con il computer senza compromessi. Posso sicuramente consigliare l’Elgato 4K X a chiunque cerchi un’esperienza di acquisizione di alta qualità. È importante tenere presente la necessità di aggiornare il firmware per assicurare la piena funzionalità, ma una volta superato questo passaggio, si ottiene un prodotto affidabile, versatile e di qualità superiore. Perfetto per streammare, registrare o creare contenuti di livello professionale.
