Nice video - but there is one correction. You must set the Base (Canvas) resolution to the resolution of the monitor you want to capture. For example if you are capturing a screen that is 1440p, you set it to 2560x1440. Then you set the Output (Scaled) resolution to 1080p. That way OBS scales the image down so that it can be captured on the HD60S at 1080p. If you set the Base (Canvas) resolution to 1080p, the screen will be captured - however it will cut off the bottom/right of the screen, which is not what you want.
this is just for the second method? it seems like it has to be in the first too , for me doesnt work, i have 3080ti 32gb ram, 2k Rog monitor as main and 1080p as secondary. still getting my stream and recordings very laggy, i9 10th gen
This is amazing. I'm moving from a PS4, to getting a PC with a 1440p 144hz monitor very soon. I always used the Elgato HD60s to record my ps4 gameplay, and want to continue using the elgato hd60s, but still game at 144hz on a 1440p monitor. I can't wait to try all out of the steps mentioned in this video; this is literally perfect (plus the explanation regarding warzone is incredibly helpful). Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much, I don't really comment on videos but your video helped soooo much more than others. Thank you again man and I hope you continue to be this gracious.
@@Amedeo602 I'll have to take a look. This is just temporary and I am just giving it a shot. I refurbished a really old PC and I am just trying to take some load off the the main rig. Thanks for your help and advice!
For me, Voicemeeter introduced a noticeable delay in the audio. There was about a half second delay between the video and the audio. VBAN solved the issue.
Hear me out, I found a super easy solution for a dual pc setup, im guessing the single pc works also. After you properly connect elgato as was shown in the video, go to duplicate these displays and your monitor will change to 1080p, then just change the monitors resolution to 1440p or whatever you want and the streaming pc will get a 1080p signal from elgato but you will have your desired resolution on your monitor. If I didnt explain it well let me know Im down to help.
@@Amedeo602 man I think… you should keep doin that. And.. ima try to add you on psn so we can play Warzone brotha. Shit ive been following you since Blackout. We gotta get some games
Hey man, your video was super informative and helped out alot. After my research I noticed that there is basically two different ways one can set up a dual PC stream, one is where you clone your gaming monitor with your elgato, and the other is having your screen sent to elgato and then displayed on your streaming PC with obs, which requires OBS open on both PCs. I notice the people that use the clone method also have a 1080p monitor so the cloning goes smoothly. However I have a 1440p monitor and when I clone with elgato, it allows me to change my monitor back to 1440p, but it changes the in game resolution to 1080 with no option to up the resolution. So basically my question is, with my current setup using HD60 pro and 1440p dual PC setup. Is this method you show in your video the only way to achieve playing at 1440p while being able to stream and record at 1080p? I would like to not have OBS open on both systems just to be able to Stream if possible. Sorry to ramble. Just been trying to get my setup straight. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 👍
Hey, thanks for the comment. The HD60 S only supports up to 1080p, and that’s why mirroring won’t work. The work around is to use OBS to output 1080p. You’d need a capture card that supports 1440p to avoid OBS.
@@Amedeo602 So if I had the Elgato 4k 60, I would be able to do the mirroring process and be Able to still play at 1440p 144hz? Thanks for you response!
Great video. In this configuration I have screen tearing problem only on captured video. I cannot understand why this happens. My monitor is 4k 60fps, I have another 4k 144fps monitor and the same problem happens. In both cases I adjust the OBS in PCGAMER to project the image in the Elgato HD60s in 1080p. Would you help me?
Ok, I’ll try to explain. I have a gaming PC, an iMac that I wanna use for streaming and the elgato HD60S+. I set everything as explained in the video, but, when I go to capture from Elgato, everytime I run Warzone, the iMac switch signal and starts to stream the second monitor without applications. It starts to stream desktop even if I set projector mode. I’m going crazy!
That’s really weird. I wonder if the Elgato is interrupting the signal and causing the iMac to switch over. Does Elgato’s software support mac? You could try to use that to capture and forward it to obs.
Great vid. Thanks mate. Being that you are recording audio and video on the capture device (Elgato), how decent of a streaming pc/laptop do you need? I have a laptop that is a few years old, but was decent at the time. Does Elgato do list of the work? Is the laptop just being able to simply run OBS ok, or does the quality end up varying depending on the specs of the laptop/ streaming device?
First off, thanks for the support! I was using an older laptop that was probably similar to yours. It’s an i7-7700HQ with 16 GB RAM and a GTX 1070 mobile. It worked great with OBS. I’d recommend checking the HD60 S system requirements: help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028243351-Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-S-System-Requirements-
So this dual pc setup configuration works great playing fortnite and rocket league. But if I boot up the division or cyberpunk the projector on my gaming PC stutters so bad it’s unwatchable yet my game still runs perfectly. So I can still enjoy the game but viewers would get a headache
I'm having problems with my stream on dual pc everything works expected when I lunch WarzoneI try to go up 1440p and the game is locked at 1080p on nvidea control panel gaming monitor is at 1440p 270hz and streaming monitor is at 1080p 60hz (also in display settings please help me
i actually randomly saw this video by checking on some warzone stuff. I have a dual pc setup with an elgato aswell. what i did is actually just cloning my main screen onto the capture card instead of using obs. what do you think has a bigger impact on my fps? having obs running in the backround or cloning the signal? sound doesnt matter since i have an audio interface to connect both pc sounds
I would expect cloning to have less of an impact on your FPS. The goal of this video is to provide a workaround in case you can’t clone. For example when you want to play in 1440p but cannot clone because your capture card does not support 1440p.
This was amazing, worked perfectly. Then I tried to use my Astro Mixamp on my gaming pc and it’s messed up all the settings. Any on advice on how to do all this in the video while using Astro A40s with Mixamp Pro?
Hey so I currently record in 1080p60 because it works, I get no lag etc because my canvas resolution and FPS match those settings in premiere pro 1080p60. But I want to upgrade, to 1440p120 or 144hz so I can game harder. But, scaling this down in a one pc setup as you explained. Would this cause any lag or jitter when exporting in premiere pro and then finally uploading to RUclips? I make cinematic content so want to make sure it’s doable before it. If not I will just get 2160p60 😀 thanks dude
Excellent vid. I have a 3600, 3070 gaming pc and 2020 G14. Considering that i need to run obs on my gaming pc too, will i need a beefier cpu or should i just go get the hd60s? Please suggest. Edit: I plan on streaming Apex Legends.
@@Amedeo602 im referring to the asus rog g14 laptop. Yea ill be using hd60s. My concern is if my desktop aka gaming pc cpu ryzen 3600 will be enough to both run obs and also the game for this 1440p to 1080p streaming. Thanks for the reply.
Hey bud, thanks for the helpful video everything works only just te audio on my streaming laptop , I’m streamed before on my ps5 with the laptop before with obs and the Elgato hd60s , but now i will do it on my new gaming pc but I don’t get the audio on my stream laptop, I can here the audio on my game pc in obs and in my headset but it don’t show up in obs stream laptop on the source capture device from Elgato as audio
If you plug the elgato hdmi output into a tv, does that get the audio? If so, the problem is on the streaming pc. If not, it’s something on the gaming pc.
Why would you use OBS on the gaming PC instead of duplicating the displays in the display settings? Not a criticism, just trying to understand the benefit.
Hey, nice tutorial, thank you, but I didn't understand the first step. If I connect an HDMI from the gaming PC to the IN input of the Elgato and then do not insert anything in the output, how can I see the game on the gaming PC monitor? Thank you for your support
Hey man thanks for this video! I followed all the steps but my capture in OBS on my stream PC is not clear at all. I have warzone running at 1440p, audio is perfect & being captured on stream PC, the only issue seems to be the quality of the capture it’s super blurry on stream PC. I also did what the pinned comment said to do. Any fix or suggestion?
this is the most informative video ive come across but i still run into the issue where my video capture device on the streaming pc just shows up blank, no idea why ive been trying to get this running for a few days and i feel like its something stupid but i followed all steps to a T and everytime just no video, ive tried using the output side of the elgato and plugged it into a monitor and it showed image and everything seemed fine, any idea where i should be looking for this?
just fixed my own problem and it was the usb C to usb cable that was the fuck up. it wasnt compatible or something but i switched it out and immediately got picture!
I have everything set up right and it's been working my only issue is that I just switched from a 1080 p 144hz monitor to a 165 hz 1440 p monitor. My refresh rate works in 165 on wz but my resolution caps at 1080 p because of the elgato HD 60 s. Is there no way for me to get my game resolution up to 1440 p. Would the only option be to get the elgato 4k capture card? (dual pc setup btw)
The best way to do this would be to get a faster capture card or follow the obs guide in the video. If you’re capped at 1080p you’re probably capped at 60 fps as well.
Hey I only see 2 monitors displayed (the elgato capture card and my gaming pc), am I supposed to see 3 monitors? the capture card is hooked up via usb to my streaming laptop
For a single PC setup, I have El Gato PRO, is it the same way to setup your el gato card cables .Mine is El gato IN to GPU, and El gato OUT to MONITOR.
@@Amedeo602 So how do you do it then so I can keep my 1440p240hz without having to downgrade to 1080p or having OBS open on my gaming PC. Please explain!
Hey @PUB Juice, sorry if my previous comment was confusing. I just realized this was for a single pc setup. Sorry, you’ll need to have OBS running on a single pc setup.
Hi mate, love the video, i have daul pc setup and i am getting a display in my slobs but as soon i try play warzone in full screen mode the screen goes black on the streming pc . but as soon as i close the game the streaming pc will show my gaming pc deskto. any suggestions ?
Audio output on the gaming pc is the capture card (e.g.: Elgato). Be sure to set OBS to monitor audio to your headset. Audio input on the streaming pc doesn’t matter. It should be detected on the capture device in OBS.
Does this work with the Elgato HD60? I tried this method but my PS5 says my monitor does not support 1440p (it does), and I am using two high quality HDMI cables... so I assume that because I have a HD60 and not HD60s that 1440p cannot passthrough?
I don't know if you're still replying to comments on here but I have a few questions. I have been trying for 3 days to get my dual PC setup. (Gaming PC 3080, Gaming Laptop/Streaming PC 1070). Dude, I cannot, for the life of me, get my audio setup with Voicemeter Banana. I'm close to just dropping $500 on a GO XLR/Monocaster to just skip the virtual cabling altogether. Do you happen to have a video on that? Also, one more thing, I have an El Gato Wave 3 I use for my mic now for my gaming PC. Will I have to use a secondary mic for the stream? Like, one to talk to chat & another to talk in game? Not a huge deal if so, just curious as to how tf I do this. If I got to drop money, it is what it is, I was going to do it anyway in the fall. But if I can save some money first, thats what I am gonna do. Regardless, thank you for the informative video & help
I don’t have a setup video on voicemeeter, but there are some out there. I’d recommend using VBAN and static IP addresses for the gaming and streaming PCs. If you don’t use vban you’ll have a noticeable delay in Your audio (about half a second). Basically you want to set up virtual output channels on the gaming pc to transmit via vban. Then on the streaming pc you need one virtual input per channel that gets sent to obs. If you want to separate voice chat from game chat you’ll need 2 virtual channels, otherwise 1 will work. As for the mic issue, it’s really up to you. I recommend having two mics so you can mute one and not the other as needed. You could probably also use voicemeeter to send a separate channel from the gaming pc as an input to the streaming pc, but I’ve never tried it so YMMV.
Voicemeeter setup gaming pc: Using 3 virtual channels, A1, A2, and A3. A1 outputs to your gaming headset and combines game audio and voice chat. A2 and A3 are for game audio and voice audio. A2 and A3 need to be sent via VBAN. Voicemeeter setup streaming pc: Use VBAN to capture streams A2 and A3 from the gaming pc as inputs B2 and B3. Add audio sources for B2 and B3 to OBS studio. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have questions.
Oh for sure. That’s the end goal. But for example, when I first got a 1440p monitor I couldn’t use the second pc because the capture card only supported 1080p. This is meant to be an intermediate step to offload as much work as possible to the second pc.
Good question. I never really measured it. I’d expect it to be slightly less than streaming because you avoid the additional overhead of converting to the stream output, but I could be wrong.
I saw some people are still having troubles setting resolution in game to 1440p (and to have 144hz). Do you know by any chance if this problem persists on HD60 S+ ? And if not then whats the difference between HD60 S and HD60 S+? Both have in their comparison said 1080P240 / 1440P144 NO PASSTHROUGH. I am thinking which one to buy now (HD60 S is 35 euro cheaper), or even switch to AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra (which doesnt have such issues at all). Would be very grateful for any help. And thanks for the great setup guide anyway!
Hi there. Unfortunately the HD60 S+ does not support 1440p60. The S+ supports HDR and 2160p60. I use an Elgato 4k60 Pro, and it’s been fantastic for me. Here’s an Amazon associate link if you’re interested in checking it out: amzn.to/2UbiYtP
@@Amedeo602 Can you explain please or maybe even make another video (Still some mystery about this topic going on around) - how to transfer audio from streaming PC to gaming PC? (To hear donation alerts, music if its playing on your streaming PC and etc.) Thank you in advance.
@@Amedeo602 yes I run RTX 3080 and AMD 5800X. For the most part I can stream anything at 1080p 60fps. There is just one game that will drop the stream to 50fps. I output OBS streamlabd 12000 bitrate and quality setting. Hardly any frame drops unless I use webcam then it dips in 50fps. I am thinking If i run webcam and obs on second PC I should keep a constant 60fps and maybe even high quality output for youtube.
@@Amedeo602 I get minimal screen tearing when I clone both monitors and that's because my capture card renders at 1440p 144hz which is the same resolution I play in. That being said, I still get minimal screen tearing on a few games like BF2042. But yeah cloning seems to be the most optimal for me. Every other method ether gives me way to much screen tearing, or it cause too much delay.
Is there a way to make the obs projector a little smoother it’s definitely not bad just not as crisp as the Elgato itself. Also this video was made C and explained perfectly
Thanks for the kind words. I don’t know of a way to improve the projector image. You could try changing the cpu priority, but that could negatively impact your fps in-game.
So for the dual PC part, when you go to fullscreen projector and the elgato shows up, mine isn't. It's all hooked up correctly and it works, but doing this method isn't showing the elgato? Is there something I'm missing? I'm running a 2560x1440 144hz monitor with a HD60 S to the stream PC. Edit: The audio is there perfectly, just no elgato showing
@@Amedeo602 Thanks for the response! So I double checked it, and the elgato is set up as a separate screen (not disconnected or disabled). In windows settings I have it showing for the "Multiple Displays" as Extend Desktop to this display. It's recognizing in windows entirely, just won't show as an option for OBS
That’s really bizarre. It could be an obs bug. Have you tried rebooting? (Probably about 10 times lol - but I have to ask!) It might be worth checking that the video settings in obs are set to 1920*1080 (1080p) and 60 FPS. Maybe it’s set higher, and the Elgato isn’t compatible? What version of obs are you using? Is it the latest?
@@Amedeo602 so I did try to reboot a few times (been at this a few days and the video tutorial is fantastic, just my luck isn’t going far here lol). I downloaded OBS about a week ago and haven’t checked for an update yet. The settings are set to 1920x1080 in OBS at 60fps. EDIT: so I finally got it to recognize in OBS in projector preview, but when I turn on the stream PC to set the video capture, that’s when it disappears
hey! everything works except for my mic. Its plugged into my gaming pc so i can talk in discord but my elgato wont output my mic audio to my streaming pc. Is there a way to fix this without having to plug my mic into my streaming pc? how can i talk in discord on my gaming pc if my mic has to be plugged into my streaming pc?
You have three options. First option, get a dedicated mic for the streaming pc. Second, you should be able to add the gaming pc mic into obs as an audio input source and then feed it out to the streaming pc via hdmi using obs. Third, there’s a program called voicemeeter (not a typo) that can send the audio directly to your streaming pc using a technology called VBAN. They all have upsides and downsides. Take your pick!

Please help me out asap! I’m on an Xbox series x with a 1440p 165 hz monitor. I want to run my Xbox at 120fps at 1440p and have the new el gato hd 60x. It’s limiting my series x to 1440p at 60 but it says it can do something called pass through at 1440p 120. I’m really confused how to set this all up, will I need one of these dual pc set ups?
Dual pc wouldn’t make sense in your case because you’re not gaming on a pc. Unfortunately I can’t provide much more help than this because I haven’t used an hd60s. Have you tried contacting el gato directly?
I think Shaawn in the comments has the same issue as me. Im using a Dual PC setup with the Elgato HD60S and your video worked except there is a weird double "echo" i guess we can call it? it echos all audio (my voice, the game, music, videos, etc.) by ike a 0.1 second delay and plays it through my headset. im not sure how to stop this from happening without losing audio to my stream. Any suggestions?
So if I don’t have an Elgato capture card should I get the HD60+ or the HD60S? I would only stream 1080p max but my main pc display is 1440 which is what I play games at.
If you use a single pc setup you don’t need an Elgato at all. If you use dual pc, then the internal card is the best choice. If you need an external device then either one should work fine.
@@Amedeo602 Yeah I think it will as well since its either 1080p or 4k. But i would also like the ability to use it with my pc so i can put the streaming load onto another PC just dont know what to get if i use a 1440p monitor if that makes sense.
A dual pc setup is a lot more complicated to set up and maintain than a single pc setup. I wouldn’t recommend it for most people unless you are very tech savvy or have a friend who can help.
Hey, great video thank you. I just wanted to ask whether you use “display capture” or “game capture” when setting up the source in OBs (single PC setup). I see in the tutorial you used the display capture route. Are there any drawbacks or advantages to either?
No significant differences that I know of for single pc setup. The display capture doesn’t capture audio, but that’s fine because obs captures audio anyway. Game capture probably won’t capture overlays or other windows. Have you seen other benefits/drawbacks one way or the other?
@@Amedeo602 hey, thanks for the reply. I’ve tried both and find that game capture seems to be more reliable when recording over 30fps. I use OBs to add layers for Stream overlays etc if necessary while using the “game capture” route and successfully records both. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something 😀. Appreciate the guide, keep up the great work.
@@Amedeo602when I try to record 1440p 60fps there was a lag/stutter that started to happen at very intense points when alot of vfx were happening on screen while I was using the display capture method. I Switched to “game capture” at the same resolution settings and the problem seemed to disappear 🙂.
My stream looks so pixelated with this... however duplicating my monitor instead of extending is so much better for my stream but my game feels so laggy.... like it feels like im on 60 hz... but when i check my monitors refresh rate its at 270hz.... idk maybe 1440p is too demanding to duplicate?
If you’re mirroring to an HD60 you probably are at 60 fps even though the monitor says 270. Is your stream set to 1080p or 720p? Check your obs settings. It sounds like it’s either very low data rate or low resolution.

@bollattimetv that is really weird. Have you tried a different hdmi cable? Or maybe disconnecting and reconnecting yours to be sure it’s plugged in correctly?
Recently moved to a 1440p 180hz monitor and it causes issues when cloning, primarily with some games detecting the capture cards resolution rather than your main monitor no matter what combination of screen cloning you do, through windows or the nvidia control panel it really doesn't matter. Some games also go on the capture cards refreshrate too, Sea of Thieves had this issue for a long time and still struggles with it so it'll artificially lock your FPS at certain refreshrates while cloning despite vsync's being off/on/any combination.
Great video BTW. I did run into an issue. I have the 1440P part working, But using the 2nd screen extended My streaming OBS screen is black. How do i fix it so that my streaming PC can display what my gaming PC shows without sacrificing performance? Thank you
When you’re running obs there will be a small performance hit. That’s just the way it is 😞 I’m not sure what you mean by “streaming obs screen is black”. You only need to run obs on the gaming pc.
Oh hey, quick correction. You CAN run obs on the streaming pc, but you could also run elgato’s capture software too. Sorry for the confusion there! As a troubleshooting step you can also plug the output from the gaming pc into a mo it or to see if that works. (In other words, bypass the Elgato)

@@Amedeo602 bro I really need your help my stream is suffering is there a way you can help me one on one through video call or something, I promise I’d compensate you for it
Nice video - but there is one correction. You must set the Base (Canvas) resolution to the resolution of the monitor you want to capture. For example if you are capturing a screen that is 1440p, you set it to 2560x1440. Then you set the Output (Scaled) resolution to 1080p. That way OBS scales the image down so that it can be captured on the HD60S at 1080p.
If you set the Base (Canvas) resolution to 1080p, the screen will be captured - however it will cut off the bottom/right of the screen, which is not what you want.
Pinned. Good catch!

You’re welcome, thanks for the kind words!
Thank you very much, very clear, very good job 👌
Thanks 😊
Hey man, your video was super informative and helped out alot. After my research I noticed that there is basically two different ways one can set up a dual PC stream, one is where you clone your gaming monitor with your elgato, and the other is having your screen sent to elgato and then displayed on your streaming PC with obs, which requires OBS open on both PCs. I notice the people that use the clone method also have a 1080p monitor so the cloning goes smoothly. However I have a 1440p monitor and when I clone with elgato, it allows me to change my monitor back to 1440p, but it changes the in game resolution to 1080 with no option to up the resolution. So basically my question is, with my current setup using HD60 pro and 1440p dual PC setup. Is this method you show in your video the only way to achieve playing at 1440p while being able to stream and record at 1080p? I would like to not have OBS open on both systems just to be able to Stream if possible. Sorry to ramble. Just been trying to get my setup straight. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 👍
Hey, thanks for the comment. The HD60 S only supports up to 1080p, and that’s why mirroring won’t work. The work around is to use OBS to output 1080p. You’d need a capture card that supports 1440p to avoid OBS.
@@Amedeo602 So if I had the Elgato 4k 60, I would be able to do the mirroring process and be Able to still play at 1440p 144hz? Thanks for you response!
Yep. I use the 4K 60 Pro to dm exactly that.
To do*
@@Amedeo602 Awesome, thx for your help, 👍
Thank you sir!! Been looking for this exact thing.
You’re welcome, thanks for the support!
I still can not figure out how to get audio to my streaming pc I can hear it in my headset on gaming pc but no sound on streaming pc
Is the output device set to your capture card? Can you try plugging the capture card’s hdmi into a tv to see if that works?
Really professional tutorial ! nice
Thanks!
Great Video!!
Thanks 😊
Great video. In this configuration I have screen tearing problem only on captured video. I cannot understand why this happens. My monitor is 4k 60fps, I have another 4k 144fps monitor and the same problem happens. In both cases I adjust the OBS in PCGAMER to project the image in the Elgato HD60s in 1080p. Would you help me?
Fantastic video, thank you
Thanks 😊
Nice video, going to try these setting later today, I could not get my main monitor above 60hz
Ok, I’ll try to explain.
I have a gaming PC, an iMac that I wanna use for streaming and the elgato HD60S+.
I set everything as explained in the video, but, when I go to capture from Elgato, everytime I run Warzone, the iMac switch signal and starts to stream the second monitor without applications.
It starts to stream desktop even if I set projector mode.
I’m going crazy!
That’s really weird. I wonder if the Elgato is interrupting the signal and causing the iMac to switch over. Does Elgato’s software support mac? You could try to use that to capture and forward it to obs.
Great vid. Thanks mate. Being that you are recording audio and video on the capture device (Elgato), how decent of a streaming pc/laptop do you need? I have a laptop that is a few years old, but was decent at the time. Does Elgato do list of the work? Is the laptop just being able to simply run OBS ok, or does the quality end up varying depending on the specs of the laptop/ streaming device?
First off, thanks for the support! I was using an older laptop that was probably similar to yours. It’s an i7-7700HQ with 16 GB RAM and a GTX 1070 mobile. It worked great with OBS. I’d recommend checking the HD60 S system requirements: help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028243351-Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-S-System-Requirements-
So this dual pc setup configuration works great playing fortnite and rocket league. But if I boot up the division or cyberpunk the projector on my gaming PC stutters so bad it’s unwatchable yet my game still runs perfectly. So I can still enjoy the game but viewers would get a headache
It sounds like the pc is having trouble keeping up. Lowering the OBS bitrate or game settings might help.
so for single do you need the elgato
For a single pc setup where you play and game on the pc, you don’t need an Elgato. Just use obs studio.
Got everything running, but mw2 on stream pc OBS ONLY seems to be lagging a bit. Any ideas?
I have black screen on OBS on stream Pc. Do I need software of any kind on stream pc? Hdmi out of capture card works fine
I'm having problems with my stream on dual pc
everything works expected when I lunch WarzoneI
try to go up 1440p and the game is locked at 1080p

270hz and streaming monitor is at 1080p 60hz (also
in display settings please help me
i actually randomly saw this video by checking on some warzone stuff. I have a dual pc setup with an elgato aswell. what i did is actually just cloning my main screen onto the capture card instead of using obs. what do you think has a bigger impact on my fps? having obs running in the backround or cloning the signal? sound doesnt matter since i have an audio interface to connect both pc sounds
I would expect cloning to have less of an impact on your FPS. The goal of this video is to provide a workaround in case you can’t clone.
For example when you want to play in 1440p but cannot clone because your capture card does not support 1440p.
Such a life saver, thank you! one question: I can't seem to get my microphone input to be replicated into OBS, do you know how to solve this?
The audio is a major pain. You might need to add it as a separate input audio device.
About console xbox series x pliz?
I don’t know of a way to do this on console
This was amazing, worked perfectly. Then I tried to use my Astro Mixamp on my gaming pc and it’s messed up all the settings. Any on advice on how to do all this in the video while using Astro A40s with Mixamp Pro?
only thing about thsi method is that my audio sound going back into my headphones is delayed
Check in obs studio to make sure there’s no audio delay set.
Hey so I currently record in 1080p60 because it works, I get no lag etc because my canvas resolution and FPS match those settings in premiere pro 1080p60. But I want to upgrade, to 1440p120 or 144hz so I can game harder. But, scaling this down in a one pc setup as you explained. Would this cause any lag or jitter when exporting in premiere pro and then finally uploading to RUclips? I make cinematic content so want to make sure it’s doable before it. If not I will just get 2160p60 😀 thanks dude
Not that I know of. You should be good to go.
@@Amedeo602 Thanks mate. :D
Excellent vid. I have a 3600, 3070 gaming pc and 2020 G14. Considering that i need to run obs on my gaming pc too, will i need a beefier cpu or should i just go get the hd60s? Please suggest.
Edit: I plan on streaming Apex Legends.
I think You’d need the hd60s to capture video. I’m not familiar with the g14. Does it have a capture card built in?
@@Amedeo602 im referring to the asus rog g14 laptop. Yea ill be using hd60s. My concern is if my desktop aka gaming pc cpu ryzen 3600 will be enough to both run obs and also the game for this 1440p to 1080p streaming. Thanks for the reply.
Ohh I understand now. Yeah, your pc should run obs just fine. If you do decide the upgrade the cpu you should see higher FPS.
i want to play on my xbox series x at 1440p 120hz and capture at 1080p 60hz, semeone tutorial pliz i have a xbox series x and elgato hd60s pluz
Hey bud, thanks for the helpful video everything works only just te audio on my streaming laptop , I’m streamed before on my ps5 with the laptop before with obs and the Elgato hd60s , but now i will do it on my new gaming pc but I don’t get the audio on my stream laptop, I can here the audio on my game pc in obs and in my headset but it don’t show up in obs stream laptop on the source capture device from Elgato as audio
If you plug the elgato hdmi output into a tv, does that get the audio? If so, the problem is on the streaming pc. If not, it’s something on the gaming pc.
I found the solution, I needed to download the Elgato sound capture and now everything works
Really good video. Have a question though, my colors look all washed out on my streaming pc obs window… do you know why’d that be?
Check the color settings on the streaming pc. I can think of at least 3 places: the obs settings, the windows settings, and the monitor itself.
Why would you use OBS on the gaming PC instead of duplicating the displays in the display settings? Not a criticism, just trying to understand the benefit.
Hey, nice tutorial, thank you, but I didn't understand the first step. If I connect an HDMI from the gaming PC to the IN input of the Elgato and then do not insert anything in the output, how can I see the game on the gaming PC monitor?
Thank you for your support
Use the hdmi output from the elgato
The usb will need to be connected to power the elgato
@@Amedeo602 Ok but if I use the output of Elgato hd60+ I can't use my monitor in 1440p 144hz but 1440p and 30hz
Hey man thanks for this video! I followed all the steps but my capture in OBS on my stream PC is not clear at all. I have warzone running at 1440p, audio is perfect & being captured on stream PC, the only issue seems to be the quality of the capture it’s super blurry on stream PC. I also did what the pinned comment said to do.
Any fix or suggestion?
It could be the bitrate. Try increasing it to around 15000-20000.
hello, instead of adding "video capture device" you add display capture. whats the point of using the elgato then? what am i missing?
The gaming pc captures the display (aka monitor) via obs and forwards it to the Elgato.
this is the most informative video ive come across but i still run into the issue where my video capture device on the streaming pc just shows up blank, no idea why ive been trying to get this running for a few days and i feel like its something stupid but i followed all steps to a T and everytime just no video, ive tried using the output side of the elgato and plugged it into a monitor and it showed image and everything seemed fine, any idea where i should be looking for this?
just fixed my own problem and it was the usb C to usb cable that was the fuck up. it wasnt compatible or something but i switched it out and immediately got picture!
Everything on my gaming pc works fine but I don’t see video of my gaming pc on my streaming pc
Be sure projector mode is enabled. Double check by connecting the capture device to a monitor.
I have everything set up right and it's been working my only issue is that I just switched from a 1080 p 144hz monitor to a 165 hz 1440 p monitor. My refresh rate works in 165 on wz but my resolution caps at 1080 p because of the elgato HD 60 s. Is there no way for me to get my game resolution up to 1440 p. Would the only option be to get the elgato 4k capture card? (dual pc setup btw)
The best way to do this would be to get a faster capture card or follow the obs guide in the video. If you’re capped at 1080p you’re probably capped at 60 fps as well.
Im having problems when playing a game the game on the streaming pc just freeze.....
Not sure why it would do that
do u know how to fix the Elgato HD60S it start the video off in 480p then ends the video with 1080p and tips or fix
I’ve never seen that, sorry 😢
Hey I only see 2 monitors displayed (the elgato capture card and my gaming pc), am I supposed to see 3 monitors? the capture card is hooked up via usb to my streaming laptop
For a single PC setup, I have El Gato PRO, is it the same way to setup your el gato card cables .Mine is El gato IN to GPU, and El gato OUT to MONITOR.
@@Amedeo602 So how do you do it then so I can keep my 1440p240hz without having to downgrade to 1080p or having OBS open on my gaming PC. Please explain!
Hey @PUB Juice, sorry if my previous comment was confusing. I just realized this was for a single pc setup. Sorry, you’ll need to have OBS running on a single pc setup.
Hi mate,
love the video, i have daul pc setup and i am getting a display in my slobs but as soon i try play warzone in full screen mode the screen goes black on the streming pc . but as soon as i close the game the streaming pc will show my gaming pc deskto. any suggestions ?
I had a similar issue. It ended up being a bad hdmi cable. The thing was brand new too. Super frustrating. Try a different cable.
Wait what if I have an elgato hd 60s but connected directly into my motherboard. Is there any different steps?
I’d expect the steps to be similar, but how in the world do you have an hd60s connected directly to your motherboard?!
4:32 thats so amazing idea!
😁
Can you help me? I switched to a 1440p monitor and I can’t seem to downscale to 1080p, it’s stuck at 1440p on obs at 30fps and it’s too laggy
Check the OBS video settings.
I can’t get my audio to work on my streaming pc, what did you set audio input and output to ?
Audio output on the gaming pc is the capture card (e.g.: Elgato). Be sure to set OBS to monitor audio to your headset. Audio input on the streaming pc doesn’t matter. It should be detected on the capture device in OBS.
Does this work with the Elgato HD60? I tried this method but my PS5 says my monitor does not support 1440p (it does), and I am using two high quality HDMI cables... so I assume that because I have a HD60 and not HD60s that 1440p cannot passthrough?
Correct. Max output is 1080p@60 fps.
I don't know if you're still replying to comments on here but I have a few questions. I have been trying for 3 days to get my dual PC setup. (Gaming PC 3080, Gaming Laptop/Streaming PC 1070). Dude, I cannot, for the life of me, get my audio setup with Voicemeter Banana. I'm close to just dropping $500 on a GO XLR/Monocaster to just skip the virtual cabling altogether. Do you happen to have a video on that?
Also, one more thing, I have an El Gato Wave 3 I use for my mic now for my gaming PC. Will I have to use a secondary mic for the stream? Like, one to talk to chat & another to talk in game? Not a huge deal if so, just curious as to how tf I do this.
If I got to drop money, it is what it is, I was going to do it anyway in the fall. But if I can save some money first, thats what I am gonna do.
Regardless, thank you for the informative video & help
I don’t have a setup video on voicemeeter, but there are some out there. I’d recommend using VBAN and static IP addresses for the gaming and streaming PCs. If you don’t use vban you’ll have a noticeable delay in Your audio (about half a second). Basically you want to set up virtual output channels on the gaming pc to transmit via vban. Then on the streaming pc you need one virtual input per channel that gets sent to obs. If you want to separate voice chat from game chat you’ll need 2 virtual channels, otherwise 1 will work.
As for the mic issue, it’s really up to you. I recommend having two mics so you can mute one and not the other as needed. You could probably also use voicemeeter to send a separate channel from the gaming pc as an input to the streaming pc, but I’ve never tried it so YMMV.
Voicemeeter setup gaming pc:
Using 3 virtual channels, A1, A2, and A3. A1 outputs to your gaming headset and combines game audio and voice chat. A2 and A3 are for game audio and voice audio. A2 and A3 need to be sent via VBAN.
Voicemeeter setup streaming pc:
Use VBAN to capture streams A2 and A3 from the gaming pc as inputs B2 and B3. Add audio sources for B2 and B3 to OBS studio.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have questions.
@@Amedeo602 ok cool, I appreciate the quick reply. I'll look into VBAN tonight. Stay Sexy My Guy
I think the purpose of dual pc streaming is 0 performance loss, so when you use the projector mode in gaming pc with OBS, you lose performance.
Oh for sure. That’s the end goal. But for example, when I first got a 1440p monitor I couldn’t use the second pc because the capture card only supported 1080p. This is meant to be an intermediate step to offload as much work as possible to the second pc.
But there is no way it takes up as much as streaming does, right?
Good question. I never really measured it. I’d expect it to be slightly less than streaming because you avoid the additional overhead of converting to the stream output, but I could be wrong.
Is there a way to do this from a console? I have the Xbox series x and I feel hopeless.😒
Not that I know of - you’d have to mirror the output in 2 different resolutions.
How to mirror output
Hey Jules, if you’re on PC you can use the Windows Display Settings or Nvidia control panel. On console I don’t know if it’s possible.
@@Amedeo602 if you knew something please let me know coz im using elgato 60splus pc and xbox series x console. Thanks
The only fix I know of is to cap the output to 1080p60. 😢
Hi, would the dual PC setup also work using a Elgato HD60 Pro PCIe card?
It should work with any capture card
Is it worth doing single pc if the cpu/gpu still has to do the encoding?
Depends on your system and how desperate you are for performance.
I saw some people are still having troubles setting resolution in game to 1440p (and to have 144hz).
Do you know by any chance if this problem persists on HD60 S+ ? And if not then whats the difference between HD60 S and HD60 S+? Both have in their comparison said 1080P240 / 1440P144 NO PASSTHROUGH.
I am thinking which one to buy now (HD60 S is 35 euro cheaper), or even switch to AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra (which doesnt have such issues at all). Would be very grateful for any help.
And thanks for the great setup guide anyway!
Hi there. Unfortunately the HD60 S+ does not support 1440p60. The S+ supports HDR and 2160p60. I use an Elgato 4k60 Pro, and it’s been fantastic for me. Here’s an Amazon associate link if you’re interested in checking it out: amzn.to/2UbiYtP
@@Amedeo602 Can you explain please or maybe even make another video (Still some mystery about this topic going on around) - how to transfer audio from streaming PC to gaming PC? (To hear donation alerts, music if its playing on your streaming PC and etc.)
Thank you in advance.
You can use a hardware mixer like goxlr or a software solution like voicemeeter banana.
@Armedeo602 Does this take the load off the gaming PC? I am wanting to do it so I can have maximum performance on my gaming PC.
It takes some of the load off of the gaming pc. Some resources are still being used by OBS.
@@Amedeo602 yes I run RTX 3080 and AMD 5800X. For the most part I can stream anything at 1080p 60fps. There is just one game that will drop the stream to 50fps. I output OBS streamlabd 12000 bitrate and quality setting. Hardly any frame drops unless I use webcam then it dips in 50fps. I am thinking If i run webcam and obs on second PC I should keep a constant 60fps and maybe even high quality output for youtube.
Is there any way I can do this but with the xbox series x?
Not that I know of 😢
So single pc setup you didn’t use the hd60?
For a single pc setup there’s no need for a capture card.
So there is an HDMI cable connected from the gaming pc to the Captured card and another HDMI connected form the gaming pc to the monitor?
That’s right
@@Amedeo602 I get a lot of screen tearing on ny stream. Not the actual gameplay but the stream.
Do you get the tearing if you stream and play at the same resolution?
@@Amedeo602 I get minimal screen tearing when I clone both monitors and that's because my capture card renders at 1440p 144hz which is the same resolution I play in. That being said, I still get minimal screen tearing on a few games like BF2042. But yeah cloning seems to be the most optimal for me. Every other method ether gives me way to much screen tearing, or it cause too much delay.
I’d definitely recommend cloning over this method if your capture card can handle it.
Is there a way to make the obs projector a little smoother it’s definitely not bad just not as crisp as the Elgato itself. Also this video was made C and explained perfectly
Thanks for the kind words. I don’t know of a way to improve the projector image. You could try changing the cpu priority, but that could negatively impact your fps in-game.
@@Amedeo602 changing obs to give it more of a priority? I can give that’s a try thanks!
Is there a way to do this with console?
Not that I know of, sorry
my streaming pc cannot capture the hd60s i dont know why
Check that another display works with the hdmi coming out of the hd60s.
If the source is 720p, is it possible to force Elgato to record in 1080p? (I know it won't improve the quality).
OBS should allow that. Set your canvas/output to 1080p and resize the input from the capture device.
@@Amedeo602 Thank you.
So for the dual PC part, when you go to fullscreen projector and the elgato shows up, mine isn't. It's all hooked up correctly and it works, but doing this method isn't showing the elgato? Is there something I'm missing? I'm running a 2560x1440 144hz monitor with a HD60 S to the stream PC.
Edit: The audio is there perfectly, just no elgato showing
Make sure that the Elgato is set up as a separate display device and that the device is not disconnected/disabled.
@@Amedeo602 Thanks for the response! So I double checked it, and the elgato is set up as a separate screen (not disconnected or disabled). In windows settings I have it showing for the "Multiple Displays" as Extend Desktop to this display. It's recognizing in windows entirely, just won't show as an option for OBS
That’s really bizarre. It could be an obs bug. Have you tried rebooting? (Probably about 10 times lol - but I have to ask!)
It might be worth checking that the video settings in obs are set to 1920*1080 (1080p) and 60 FPS. Maybe it’s set higher, and the Elgato isn’t compatible?
What version of obs are you using? Is it the latest?
@@Amedeo602 so I did try to reboot a few times (been at this a few days and the video tutorial is fantastic, just my luck isn’t going far here lol). I downloaded OBS about a week ago and haven’t checked for an update yet. The settings are set to 1920x1080 in OBS at 60fps. EDIT: so I finally got it to recognize in OBS in projector preview, but when I turn on the stream PC to set the video capture, that’s when it disappears
Hmm. Very odd. Maybe try a different hdmi cable? Crazy thought but you never know!
hey! everything works except for my mic. Its plugged into my gaming pc so i can talk in discord but my elgato wont output my mic audio to my streaming pc. Is there a way to fix this without having to plug my mic into my streaming pc? how can i talk in discord on my gaming pc if my mic has to be plugged into my streaming pc?
You have three options. First option, get a dedicated mic for the streaming pc. Second, you should be able to add the gaming pc mic into obs as an audio input source and then feed it out to the streaming pc via hdmi using obs. Third, there’s a program called voicemeeter (not a typo) that can send the audio directly to your streaming pc using a technology called VBAN. They all have upsides and downsides. Take your pick!
@@Amedeo602 Thanks! I routed everything through voicemeeter and it works perfect now.

Please help me out asap! I’m on an Xbox series x with a 1440p 165 hz monitor. I want to run my Xbox at 120fps at 1440p and have the new el gato hd 60x. It’s limiting my series x to 1440p at 60 but it says it can do something called pass through at 1440p 120. I’m really confused how to set this all up, will I need one of these dual pc set ups?
Dual pc wouldn’t make sense in your case because you’re not gaming on a pc. Unfortunately I can’t provide much more help than this because I haven’t used an hd60s. Have you tried contacting el gato directly?
@@Amedeo602 it is the new hd 60 x actually. No I have not, I will have to try this.
I think Shaawn in the comments has the same issue as me. Im using a Dual PC setup with the Elgato HD60S and your video worked except there is a weird double "echo" i guess we can call it? it echos all audio (my voice, the game, music, videos, etc.) by ike a 0.1 second delay and plays it through my headset. im not sure how to stop this from happening without losing audio to my stream. Any suggestions?
Is the headset connected to both PCs?
So if I don’t have an Elgato capture card should I get the HD60+ or the HD60S? I would only stream 1080p max but my main pc display is 1440 which is what I play games at.
If you use a single pc setup you don’t need an Elgato at all. If you use dual pc, then the internal card is the best choice. If you need an external device then either one should work fine.
@@Amedeo602 I was going to record PS5 and also maybe run a stream with dual PCs since I have one that’s pretty good that’s not being used.
The external devices might force you to run 1080p from the PS5. I’d recommend doing some research before buying just to be safe.
@@Amedeo602 Yeah I think it will as well since its either 1080p or 4k. But i would also like the ability to use it with my pc so i can put the streaming load onto another PC just dont know what to get if i use a 1440p monitor if that makes sense.
A dual pc setup is a lot more complicated to set up and maintain than a single pc setup. I wouldn’t recommend it for most people unless you are very tech savvy or have a friend who can help.
Hey, great video thank you. I just wanted to ask whether you use “display capture” or “game capture” when setting up the source in OBs (single PC setup). I see in the tutorial you used the display capture route. Are there any drawbacks or advantages to either?
No significant differences that I know of for single pc setup. The display capture doesn’t capture audio, but that’s fine because obs captures audio anyway. Game capture probably won’t capture overlays or other windows. Have you seen other benefits/drawbacks one way or the other?
@@Amedeo602 hey, thanks for the reply. I’ve tried both and find that game capture seems to be more reliable when recording over 30fps. I use OBs to add layers for Stream overlays etc if necessary while using the “game capture” route and successfully records both. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something 😀. Appreciate the guide, keep up the great work.
That’s interesting! What do you mean by more reliable?
@@Amedeo602when I try to record 1440p 60fps there was a lag/stutter that started to happen at very intense points when alot of vfx were happening on screen while I was using the display capture method. I Switched to “game capture” at the same resolution settings and the problem seemed to disappear 🙂.
My stream looks so pixelated with this... however duplicating my monitor instead of extending is so much better for my stream but my game feels so laggy.... like it feels like im on 60 hz... but when i check my monitors refresh rate its at 270hz.... idk maybe 1440p is too demanding to duplicate?
If you’re mirroring to an HD60 you probably are at 60 fps even though the monitor says 270. Is your stream set to 1080p or 720p? Check your obs settings. It sounds like it’s either very low data rate or low resolution.
Been trying to find a solution for audio for days now it just wont show up on pc
Can you be more specific?

How much CPU usage is OBS using on the gaming pc with it opened
Also do u have ur microphone plugged into gaming or streaming pc?
That’ll depend on your system. It’s usually not a ton, but it will cost you a few fps. Check it on your system.
I have a headset with a mic for the gaming pc and another mic on the streaming pc.
Could you "duplicate" and just use obs on the stream pc?
Only if the resolution matches
I experience glitch when using 1080p full screen. My HDMI cable is HDMI 2.1 certified, but I could not solve this problem. My monitor is 1440p. I have no problems with 1440p full screen, but I need to open some games in 1080p. Even elgato couldn't help. Please help mee. My device elgato hd60s+
What kind of glitch do you see?
@@Amedeo602 When I go fullscreen, I only see a green screen in the obs. It's a green and moving distorted image.
@bollattimetv that is really weird. Have you tried a different hdmi cable? Or maybe disconnecting and reconnecting yours to be sure it’s plugged in correctly?
@@Amedeo602 I buy a quality cable with HDMI 2.1 certification, problem is the same. I contacted Elgato support.
Do I apply the same settings to the streaming pc also?
No, the gaming and streaming PCs need unique settings.
Recently moved to a 1440p 180hz monitor and it causes issues when cloning, primarily with some games detecting the capture cards resolution rather than your main monitor no matter what combination of screen cloning you do, through windows or the nvidia control panel it really doesn't matter. Some games also go on the capture cards refreshrate too, Sea of Thieves had this issue for a long time and still struggles with it so it'll artificially lock your FPS at certain refreshrates while cloning despite vsync's being off/on/any combination.
Did u learn any way to fix the ingame resolution? I have 1440 but with my duel over setup, the ingame settings don’t go pass 1080?
How do configure desktop to allow the display to be your monitor and not the capture card
@@Veryrarelui can u break that down a bit more please, I’m kinda confused.
Great video BTW. I did run into an issue. I have the 1440P part working, But using the 2nd screen extended My streaming OBS screen is black. How do i fix it so that my streaming PC can display what my gaming PC shows without sacrificing performance? Thank you
When you’re running obs there will be a small performance hit. That’s just the way it is 😞
I’m not sure what you mean by “streaming obs screen is black”. You only need to run obs on the gaming pc.
@@Amedeo602 I'm doing a double pc stream btw. Thank you for reply I will troubleshoot more.
Oh hey, quick correction. You CAN run obs on the streaming pc, but you could also run elgato’s capture software too. Sorry for the confusion there!
As a troubleshooting step you can also plug the output from the gaming pc into a mo it or to see if that works. (In other words, bypass the Elgato)
Ugh. Monitor. Ok, no more typing for me until I’ve had more coffee. 😆
@@Amedeo602 thank you for your replies.
I have a Laptop that is dedicated to Streaming only, and I have a pc dedicated to gaming. I followed all the steps for Dual PC set up. The issue I have is OBS On streaming Laptop gets the Black screen because of the Display option of extended(Which let's me output on 1440p on gaming PC). If I end up fixing the issue I will donate you something. Thanks again
Hey, it works but i have screen tearing on my stream pc. So it is useless for me :/
Did u every find the fix?
No, i send it back and buy the Avermedia Live Gamer 4k PCIe and it runs smooth ;)@@DOL0ttv
Hey , what about Screen Tearing ? How do i fix that issue ? help
Try lowering your fps/refresh rate until the tearing is gone. I’m not sure whether that will help because I don’t have screen tearing issues.
@@Amedeo602 didn't work, found that the issue is caused by OBS Studio, the full screen preview is making tearing
Good to know. Did you find a fix for it?
@@Amedeo602 mm unfortunately.. no . I tryed everything, even VSYNC ON on OBS doesn't.
@@AbstractDesignsdid u find a fix yet?
Im loosing about 30fps in Escape from Takkov on this way
Yeah I’d expect to see some performance loss. Are you comparing that to recording on the same pc or just running the game without recording?
Do I apply the same settings on my gaming and streaming pc?
No, the settings will be different on each pc.
@@Amedeo602 bro I really need your help my stream is suffering is there a way you can help me one on one through video call or something, I promise I’d compensate you for it
@@Amedeo602 it actually worked but then the streaming pc went blank after I tried it again
Try a different hdmi cable or disconnect/reconnect that one if you are seeing a blank screen.
I followed your video the same way and I still don't have audio in my streaming pc.. can you help me out.. also I'm steaming with two PC. thks.....
Make sure the Elgato is the Audio output device on the gaming pc
@@Amedeo602 so i use the el gato sound capture or just the audio output on my gaming pc
So if there audio is coming In.. I see the levels going with the my gaming audio but when I record there no audio on my streaming pc...
Record the Elgato sound. Check advanced audio output to make sure the tracks are checked.
@@Amedeo602 yes they are all check I even put it on monitor and output
