Elgato Game Capture Hd60 S
Elgato has been one of the premier names in the capture card industry for awhile now, with multiple products on the market. Obviously, if you want the game feed to be as lag free as possible, you'll want to pass the signal through the capture card to another screen. Though many will use different software, the Elgato Game Capture HD60 and Elgato Game Capture HD60 S cards are some of the best for people looking to step up their gaming content, even though they're not cheap.
But bottom line is, typical card in OBS = subsampled preview, HD60 S in Game Capture HD = nice preview. In the box, there's the device itself (matte not glossy black, woo!), a HDMI to add to the collection, a USB Type-C cable, and some instructions. It's a handy set of tools that Elgato includes with its latest software to help you put professional looking overlays and webcam feeds (including chroma key for green screens) on to your online gaming broadcasts.
With the lag-free HDMI pass-through output, the video signal is passed without delay, to your HDTV, thus you can play while recording without the need of a separate video splitter. But that's only with Elgato's HD60 Pro, which is an internal capture card that works over PCIe.
I've been using the HD60 S for just over a month now and it has streamlined my content creation process massively. Even without the flashback feature aside, the software is one of the best applications we have seen that comes with a video capture device. The downside with using the HD60 S with OBS is that I did notice there was slightly more lag in the video feed preview.
The Elgato Game Capture HD60 is a little more expensive than the Hauppauge HD PVR Rocket , and it isn't as easy to start recording on the Game Capture HD60 as it is on the HD PVR Rocket, but it is a good device. The other thing to consider is whether or not it's worth forking out for an upgrade over the Elgato's HD60.
Thanks to the HD60 S's solid USB 3.0 connection Elgato's Instant Gameview feature can be fully utilised. Carry the power of advanced GPU acceleration to effortlessly record hours of your finest gameplay. If you are gaming enthusiast or maybe a vblogger and looking for the most reliable capture card than AverMMedia Live Gamer Extreme will be your best choice.
