Elgato Game Capture 4K Pro

The Elgato Game Capture 4K Pro is a cutting-edge, internal PCIe capture card engineered specifically to bridge the gap between bleeding-edge high-refresh-rate gaming and high-fidelity streaming. By incorporating next-generation HDMI 2.1 architecture, this card serves as the ultimate dual-PC or console capture bridge, giving you the freedom to play exactly how your monitor intended without compromising your stream quality.

A major technical milestone of the 4K Pro is its HDMI 2.1 passthrough capacity. It supports massive passthrough feeds up to 8K60 or 4K240 directly to your gaming display while seamlessly capturing up to 4K60 video for your recording or streaming software. This ensures high-tier PC and console gamers (PS5, Xbox Series X) can run Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and HDR10 content natively on their displays while capturing fluid, screen-tear-free footage.

Product Features in Detail

Next-Gen HDMI 2.1 Passthrough
The upgrade to HDMI 2.1 solves the biggest limitation of older capture cards. You no longer have to downgrade your gaming PC or console output; you can play at 4K resolution at an ultra-smooth 240Hz, or experience immersive 8K gaming at 60Hz.

High-Fidelity 4K60 Capture
While you play at extreme frame rates, the card downscales and captures the video feed at a crisp 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. This ensures your recorded videos or live streams maintain a highly professional, razor-sharp level of detail.

Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) Support
By supporting VRR passthrough, the card communicates dynamically with your gaming monitor. This eliminates jarring screen tearing and stuttering, preserving the native, buttery-smooth responsiveness of your gameplay.

True 10-Bit HDR10 Pipeline
Capture and pass through rich, vivid colors. The card handles deep 10-bit High Dynamic Range (HDR) colors flawlessly, ensuring that deep shadows and bright highlights in HDR-supported games are reproduced with complete visual accuracy.

Ultra-Low Latency Instant Gameview
Backed by high-bandwidth PCIe connectivity and optimized internal circuitry, the capture latency is virtually imperceptible. This keeps your OBS studio preview perfectly synced with your live gameplay, making real-time commentary and interaction seamless.

High-Speed 1080p240 Capture Option
For competitive esports players who prioritize fluid movement over high resolutions, the card can capture incredibly smooth high-frame-rate footage at 1080p at 240fps. This is ideal for analyzing frame-by-frame gameplay or creating crystal-clear slow-motion replays.
