Pros

This is easily one of the best purchases i've made this year. I love where elgato is going with their products & excited to see more from them. Very pleased with this.

It’s a little more expensive than other capture cards, but quality is not something you want to skimp out on. The elgato also has better temperatures compared to bmd cards. Definitely not a deal breaker and understood for the price of the card.

Elgato 4k60 pro is a 4k capture card for your desktop. Allows you to record in the most stunning 4k as well as being about to do more within programs like obs such as streaming, recording with live commentary, recording facecam and gameplay together i...  Read More

The software records up to about 140 megabits per second, regardless of resolution, so there’s plenty of bandwidth to work with. It records at up to 2160p at 60 fps (at a recording bitrate of up to a staggering 140 mbps) captures great 4k 60fps video ...  Read More

This capture card is an absolute beast! It’s definitely the best looking! I call it a monster because it really is just that.



Cons

Be cautious when purchasing this capture card if planning on using it for a dual pc setup. It seems like it was made more for console recording rather then dual pc. Unless you have a top line pc just for streaming it's not worth in my opinion.

Video is choppy, laggy and sub par quality. Used to gaming at 4k and close to 144 hz with a low millisecond response time.

Quality


With console recording, i ran into zero performance issues, and the quality is outstanding.


And for days i want to play on a console, the quality is great!


I don't think i'd have paid full price, but not because the product isn't worth it.


It’s a little more expensive than other capture cards, but quality is not something you want to skimp out on.

Price


Works great but the cost is a little steep


If price is a consideration, this one gets the job done.


(wasn't a selling point but still cool.

Packaging/appearance


Those of you who have an og xbox one/ps4, nintendo switch or hdmi capable xbox 360/ps3 shouldn’t shy away from the 4k60 pro.

Competitiveness


) captures great 4k 60fps video from a video game console.


Most pcie (which tend to be more stable than usb devices) cost at least double the price.


) cannot capture from a high-end pc.


Having a 1440p monitor is hard to stream with a 1080p card so this was a must.
