@Senpai It would depend. My current capture card is the Elgato 4K60Pro. I do not use passthrough, because I have a 360Hz monitor and play shooters competitively. The Elgato isn’t quite built for giving me my full FPS (even in non-passthrough) and I have to change EDID settings back and forth until I can get close to 360FPS (it’s caps at 330, plus it’s very buggy). Elgato tech support will not make me a custom EDID and has not explained how my fps is possible because they say it shouldn’t go higher than 240. So, if this capture card lets me play competitive shooters at 360FPS, then I agree with you, and I will buy one. :)
The timing for this video is scary! I was just looking up prices for capture cards and then boom, your video shows up as soon as I open RUclips. Love your videos!
Thanks for this comment man, I was just looking to buy HD60X but I should wait for this one since I struggle currently with HD60S+ with screen stutter. Main PC is 240hz and streaming PC is 60hz...
@@raqacsConsidering upgrading to this from my HD60X as well. I just really wanna take advantage of the 4K 120hz+ my monitor is capable of but haven’t been able to since the HD60X can only pass through 1440p of playing at 120fps. Good to know the colors look better too
Hi man, I'm using HD60X since my monitor is 240h 1080p and so far it works great. But for higher resolutions this can be game changer but I beleive Elgato will come with new one soon. @@jordychinchin
i wish someone would just make a display port capture card, every limitation of capture cards being 4k 60 or 1440p at 144hz isn't necessarily a limitation of the card itself but of the bandwidth of hdmi. If they just used display port and threw in an hdmi to dp adapter for the console kids it would solve all of these problems. Also, there are tons of 1440/1080p 360hz monitors now even by zowie who make THE pro league displays along with asus just releasing a 1080p 540hz monitor that's actually insanely good, these limitations are very impactful to the people who will notice it most. And to correct Herris, im nowhere near a top level player but there is a MASSIVE "perceived difference" after 144hz. Just because you cant feel it being a casual player doesn't make it non existent.
Everyone always thinks the latest tech is the best we'll ever need or get. I remember when my grandparents upgraded our computer from a 512MB HDD to a 1GB HDD and everyone talking about how no person could ever need that much space... Well, here we are.
I actually use the 4K60S+, and I actually used it for 4K60 streaming on RUclips, I personally wouldn't call it "useless" as I was able to use it quite well. I was aware of those shortcomings as well, but I was able to use it how I wanted to. I still utilize it for capturing gameplay for certain things I do on my channel. I had heard of this new piece of tech from another person on here, so nice to see your take on this also. Although I myself recently purchased an actual hardware encoder, it's really awesome. This is something that might be nice to keep in my arsenal of tech, per se. Keep up the awesomeness! Happy gaming! 🎮🖖😊Marcus
I have learned in my 30 years of buying computer equipment and peripherals and justifying them to my wife, that I never say "I'll never need" something better. Like my 450MB hard drive I got for my 486DX2 66. Be careful how you justify your purchases. 😃
The next major improvement isn’t lowering the cost, it’s adding more inputs so the card can have 4 inputs. Nothing is more irritating than having to shuffle cables constantly between 3 consoles and a pc. And there’s no way around that. HDMI switches and splitters literally can’t do that job without messing up the video signal every single last time. I’m tired of having to kneecap gameplay to keep everything neat, or having to have a huge inconvenience everytime I want to swap to a different machine.
Picked up as a pre-order. It can be a bit wonky with loss of image, but its absolutely worth the struggle. Proper 4k 144hz 1ms has essentially replaced my 1440p and allowed me to now produce 4k native content!
i remember your comment and i saw this video and i was like huh, yknow i'll take a look, need to wait till it releases in europe or something though cause its 400 including shipping to get it to the netherlands@@JustinPlaysTV
Eagerly awaiting Mac support from Avermedia on this. I've had this device for a few days now but can't capture 4K60 on my M1 Max Macbook Pro, which has Thunderbolt 4 ports (40gbps). 4K30 or 1440p60 are no problem. Finger crossed they update us soon!
I own 4k60 S+ as this is only device that can do both 4k and save without PC. I understand that most cards are designed for live streaming but option to have an external backup to SD or HDD seems like reasonable next step. We praise cameras for dual slot, but we handle our precious footage from capture card to single output which has to be powerful PC. For many cases requirement for another PC being connected all the time to just handle recording from capture card is just dumb.
I agree that we're nearing peak resolution to frame rate levels. 8k 240 will be achieved in the next few years and that's truly the peak of human perception imo.
Still waiting for a Displayport capture card from El Gato or Avermedia. it may be a smaller market but would make life a lot easier for all of the content creators that use a dual pc setup.
Google tells me: Various USB standards, including USB 3.2 and USB4, also use the USB-C connector type, and these cables and ports are cross-compatible with Thunderbolt 4. So maybe that thunderbolt capture card would have worked in usb3.2 10Gbps port if you had one at the time.
Next, gaming devices with a USB connection to the computer so you don’t have to intercept the HDMI signal, but you just get the output of the console as simple as plugging in a webcam. The consoles already have the ability to generate a second signal for remote play, just funneling that output over USB for lower latency and there’s no need for capture cards.
I wonder if it applies to mobile capture as well. So many issues that plague the mobile gaming streaming. If it doesn't, then NO it will not be the last capture card to end all capture cards. Currently the hurdles to stream from a mobile phone is quite a headache.
Omg I bought an expensive capture card once and forgot until this rando vid popped in my feed. It’s just chillin in the box, lol! My adhd super hyper focus for 2 weeks and then drop it thing has hit again!
I believe the most significant advancement still to come for capture cards is the ability to capture 4K 120 w/ HDR. Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 captures at 4K60 which isn't anything new.
hey Harris, just so you know, when you use those characters in video titles, it makes it really difficult for a screen reader, user such as myself to understand what the video title actually is, because typically what a screen mirror will do is say something like, letter one D6.
So is this card a formidable upgrade if you already have the bolt, though ^_^ Also my Lenovo Windows Laptop and my Intel Mac mini 2018 have Thunderbolt3, so it can't really be That uncommon; while I understand the frustration for people who don't have TB3 on your Motherboard -- it can still be useful to load a capture device when you don't have or want to use PCI slots for an Internal (Possible your PCI slots are already occupied by other capture cards or gaming devices).
There's still a long way to go in terms of fidelity. Resolution of the player view aspect is one thing but a game running at 4k can still look jank thanks to player models, lighting, textures etc. Few engines are good enough to cope with 4k120 and high fidelity. This of course doesn't matter to the capture device, but to the console/pc pushing the game. The only other thing I want from a capture card at this point is two inputs so I can ditch my camlink (although I just got a ZV E10 and USB streaming is a thing, just about)
One of my first capture cards was an Avermedia card, the game audio would always move out of sync, so I moved to Elgato, I've had my issues with Elgato too, particularly the 4k60 S+, which would stutter, both recording to PC and an SD Card, settled on the 4k60 Pro Mk2 and haven't had any issues.
I honestly wish they made a few more external capture cards like the Elgato 4K60S+. I had to buy one used to record and it makes it easy for me to record and then pop the micro SD card in my PC to edit.
Is this better than an internal PCIe card? Like the industry "standard" Elgato 4K60 Mk 2? If it is gonna be better and only $50 more it sure would be a great option! I am on my 2nd capture device and now need a 4k pass through card. I am also done going the "cheap" route! I recently purchased a 4k monitor for my Xbox and my current device is only 1080p passthrough. It would be nice to use it at the higher video resolution.
See the thing is though having a PC with Thunderbolt alot of the Major Laptops have them aswell so it would be so easy to get a PC with it heck you can buy a newer Motherboard or a Prebuilt that has thunderbolt in it
Thank god for the 1440p240 passthrough update. I just got a monitor with those specs lol. But I do have a question: I play Valorant a good bit and usually leave my frames uncapped, which usually puts me somewhere in the 350-400 ish range (with broader peaks and valleys). Would that somehow behave differently going through this card as opposed to directly to my PC, especially since I use Display port, as well? Thank you for any advice
I’ve had it for a few weeks. Very disappointed that it doesnt allow 4k/60 capture on the newest Macs! Come on Avermedia… guess El gato will be the first to fully support Mac (as always).
Hey Harris! I don't know if you know, but Genki has come out with a kickstarter project that introduces a capture card (the Shadowcast 2 Pro)! Seems to be able to outperform the Elgato HD60x, will you be looking at it when it comes out?
So I understand that we always bring out these streamer brands for the capture cards. Magewell has only been able to do what you're talking about for a long time. And they can do it with USB 3.0 and HDMI 2.0. Of course they are more expensive. This brand is used on television. That's saying something.
You said the live view in OBS is 66ml, does it have a Live View application like Elgato and would that have the same delay? OBS can make things appear to be more delayed once you start streaming with multiple sources. I only ask because I use a Elgato HD60 S+ and I don't have an extra monitor to play on another screen and Stream setup on another so I have to use the Elgato program. I only play games like Pokemon on the switch for example so delay isn't a huge issue at the moment.. I'm also looks for Elgato alternative because once they were acquired by Corsair they said they won't be raising prices, but everything is x4 or above more expensive..
I'm looking to buy a new capture card here in a couple months. Should I get this one or the Elgato HD 60X? Also, can I use this new AVerMedia card with a Mac?
I use the nzxt capture card. It works great. OBS detects it with no issues and I have both models, but use the lower one for 1080p because for some reason it still allows 4k passthrough at 144hz with no issues. Not sure how I got it to work that way but well hey i have been streaming and it looks great haha!
Last capture card? I am thinking it is very likely, because capture technology is actually (and literally) ass backwards. Essentially, your GPU is ENCODING so that the capture card can DECODE to ENCODE again for streaming or recording. It is much more likely that a more direct method will come that will allow video output to be sent from one PC to another without having to encode it into an output format (HDMI, dataport, whatever) and that all of the intermediate steps between point A and B will be removed. Then the capture system is no longer having to capture an encoded video image and decode it, but rather would be dealing with a direct full speed representation of the output from the other systems. It will take a while, but that is where this is heading. Playing with encoded video signals is very ineffecient.
I am gonna buy the internal card 😁 I already have the *Live Gamer 4k* (GC573) and it's pretty good. But I record at 60... Because I still use Premiere 😔
i dont think we will stop pushing the boundaries for resolution and refresh rate on monitors anytime soon. 144hz is nowhere near the limit of the human eye, we are already seeing 540hz screens. however i dont think we will see those refresh rates on streaming platforms anytime soon. My guess is that we might get 1440p/4k at 120fps streams in 5-7 years if we are VERY lucky, and i dont think its going to move from 120fps for the next 15 years after that simply because of how much it would cost to run those servers. I wouldnt have a problem with that. Watching gameplay at 60 hz feels fine, but playing at 60hz makes my eyes bleed
What would make me like these capture cards more is if they have Linux support, and it's not impossible to support, you just build drivers for the device itself and a system service daemon if you need it for certain things, and software updates through an app or something that lets you update over USB.
i have a question guys and maybe you have the knowledge for that already. With a 2 pc setup, which of those marked performance infos of this capture card at 02:21 ist important? The pass through, or the capture? My Capture card is in the streaming pc and captures my gaming monitor, or better said, it captures the gpu. thx in advance guys 🤘
still confused about these capture cards - is it only for consoles or if one's PC isnt powerful enough to really capture the quality, one could use this capture card to do the rendering while the PC manage the main gaming side of things?
I'm still waiting for a capture card that can allow 360hz in pass-through. Because as a competitive FPS player who stream, i can't have the choice having dual PC there.
While I do not stream or catpure footage, I would love to be able to use this on my PC to connect a gaming console with out a need for another monitor or input switching. The preview delay of 60ms is stil too high, I wish they could find a way to do a 10ms when recording is disabled.
question, lets say i've a laptop and a gaming pc, could i in theory, stream my pc game with my laptop using this thing, it might be extremely obvious but i wanna know just to be sure, im gonna eventually get a second gaming pc but if i could use a laptop in the meantime it would be nice as hell
i've been eying this up to get a dedicated streaming PC so i can make full use of my 3440x1440 monitor since going over 60fps on a single PC causes OBS to tank
So that's why my audio is so fucked and there is a delay in my streams....I bought the 4K60 s+ on a huge sale....I thought it was just a sale I didn't know it was discontinued..
A capture card is not just only for gaming. what if you want to capture the highest output 4672 x 2628 (59.94p, 50p, 29.97p, 25p, 23.98p), 16bit from a Sony FX-30 it will cost more.
PC gamers specifically need a capture software that’s easy to use like shadowplay, that can clip in higher than 60fps AND hotkeys for different clip lengths. A 30 second, 1 minute, 3 minute and 5. Why hasn’t this been done yet lol
Do you agree with me? This card certainly isn't perfect, but I think it fulfills the needs of 99% of gamers and content creators. What do you think?
Ran into this one a couple of days ago, by far the next option when my current one dies!
Any idea when the pci version will come out?
I agree, nice specs
and it has RGB bro
@Senpai It would depend. My current capture card is the Elgato 4K60Pro. I do not use passthrough, because I have a 360Hz monitor and play shooters competitively.

I also feel that it would be a good idea to add a second input so you can have your camera attached to it also

The power of the RUclips algorithm
I got it via pre-order. I find it handles HDR content really well in OBS with the XRG setting and doesn't wash it out like my HD60X did.

Guess I'm pushing aside the 4K60 then lol Even with my system, desktop capture is a journey.

Quick 10 bucks adapter? :)
Too bad it didn't come with an adapter for free.
Display Port Capture Cards - that's what should come next.
Foe another piece of electronic hardware that may be used half a dozen times, it's a must have
Harris I see that you're using the new Sm7DB? Will you be making a video? 👀
Next step be interactive on the capture card be voice commands where you can say capture that or built in upscaling with AI
no, cause then you will get latency. upscale after/later
What resolutions do you see in OBS? Note this is a much bigger list vs what the specs say. Thank you!

Interested in checking this out. The Elgato 4K60 Pro MkII has genuinely been a disappointment for me with how often it fails.
Unrelatable but I see you got your hands on the SM7DB 👀Are you just trying it out or is there a video coming soon about it?

Then the capture system is no longer having to capture an encoded video image and decode it, but rather would be dealing with a direct full speed representation of the output from the other systems.
It will take a while, but that is where this is heading. Playing with encoded video signals is very ineffecient.
I am gonna buy the internal card 😁 I already have the *Live Gamer 4k* (GC573) and it's pretty good. But I record at 60... Because I still use Premiere 😔
Is this good for a dual PC setup? I wanna give this card a shot
Can’t find the Live gamer 4k 2.1 GC575 HELP
I think the atem mini or FEELWORLD LIVEPRO L1 is a better option for the price
1080 capture only on Atem… ouch
None of these consumer grade cards have good Ultrawide support yet. Magewell's exorbitant cards are still the only consistent option in that regard.
So we not gonna talk about this Capture Card just defying the laws of gravity at the beginning of the video??? 🧐
i dont think we will stop pushing the boundaries for resolution and refresh rate on monitors anytime soon. 144hz is nowhere near the limit of the human eye, we are already seeing 540hz screens. however i dont think we will see those refresh rates on streaming platforms anytime soon. My guess is that we might get 1440p/4k at 120fps streams in 5-7 years if we are VERY lucky, and i dont think its going to move from 120fps for the next 15 years after that simply because of how much it would cost to run those servers. I wouldnt have a problem with that. Watching gameplay at 60 hz feels fine, but playing at 60hz makes my eyes bleed
What about monitors that put out more then 240 because 240 is kinda low now with 360 being the new norm and we even have 500 hurtz panels available
What would make me like these capture cards more is if they have Linux support, and it's not impossible to support, you just build drivers for the device itself and a system service daemon if you need it for certain things, and software updates through an app or something that lets you update over USB.
Just get windows bro
i have a question guys and maybe you have the knowledge for that already.
With a 2 pc setup, which of those marked performance infos of this capture card at 02:21 ist important?
The pass through, or the capture?
My Capture card is in the streaming pc and captures my gaming monitor, or better said, it captures the gpu.
thx in advance guys 🤘
Did Harris just leak a Beacn mic arm? Or is that just a sticker/
still confused about these capture cards - is it only for consoles or if one's PC isnt powerful enough to really capture the quality, one could use this capture card to do the rendering while the PC manage the main gaming side of things?
I'm still waiting for a capture card that can allow 360hz in pass-through. Because as a competitive FPS player who stream, i can't have the choice having dual PC there.
While I do not stream or catpure footage, I would love to be able to use this on my PC to connect a gaming console with out a need for another monitor or input switching. The preview delay of 60ms is stil too high, I wish they could find a way to do a 10ms when recording is disabled.
question, lets say i've a laptop and a gaming pc, could i in theory, stream my pc game with my laptop using this thing,
it might be extremely obvious but i wanna know just to be sure, im gonna eventually get a second gaming pc but if i could use a laptop in the meantime it would be nice as hell
i've been eying this up to get a dedicated streaming PC so i can make full use of my 3440x1440 monitor since going over 60fps on a single PC causes OBS to tank
Any benefits for using it for Camera Capture in comparison to Elgato?
I'd like to se a DP capture card some time, for videocards/monitors that don't support HDMI 2.1
When hasBeacn started making boom arms?
how do/did you not have thunderbolt ? do you skimp on motherboards?
Had this card for a month now. Pumped I’m not the only one who’s finally content enough to be done with capture cards
I'm really struggling with you saying there's no perceived differences with 8k and 4k or frame rates above 144hz. You can't truly believe that...
🤯🤯🤯
OMG is that a Beacn Mic Arm?!
had to do a double take at the start there
Do you need a capture card for streaming on pc ? Gaming and streaming on the same pc ? I canta find the answer !
No, just for console to pc, or maybe if you're using 2 pcs
So that's why my audio is so fucked and there is a delay in my streams....I bought the 4K60 s+ on a huge sale....I thought it was just a sale I didn't know it was discontinued..
A capture card is not just only for gaming. what if you want to capture the highest output 4672 x 2628 (59.94p, 50p, 29.97p, 25p, 23.98p), 16bit from a Sony FX-30 it will cost more.
Cool
So does the pcie version have less latency?
PC gamers specifically need a capture software that’s easy to use like shadowplay, that can clip in higher than 60fps AND hotkeys for different clip lengths. A 30 second, 1 minute, 3 minute and 5. Why hasn’t this been done yet lol
Does using a capture card add any input delay or latency when playing the game itself?
