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.

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creators, streamers, or professionals looking for reliability, top-tier capture quality, and features that won’t be outdated anytime soon.

I use this solely to integrate my Nintendo Switch into my MacBook display through QuickTime Player.The latency is very low and the display is gorgeous.I know it can do so much more in terms of screen capture and streaming, but I'm very happy with it.

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.

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.

Bought as a Christmas gift for my son, he loves this gift & enjoys streaming with friends

Works perfect and now i can game and record in 120hz output

I was advised to try another one because there should have been some sound or image. I have a 3080ti so no reason it shouldn't work. Ignore star rate. UPDATE right, obviously you can see only 4 stars this is moved because the software I finally found out about is good but isn't very user friendly and obsolete is not giving me 4k unless I go onto my lg 4k TV, I have heard of a work around but I haven't had a chance to look into that and to be honest I prefer to have an official software. This one is ok but I wish is would have the option to record in surround sound because I have the atmos plugin for my Xbox but can't record it, Which is a bummer. At the end of the day though it gives amazing quality images, without any noticeable lag. I would recommend at the £155 price but not more to be honest. Unless the software was improved.
