The Elgato Game Capture 4K X is a high-performance external hardware interface engineered to bring desktop-tier streaming capabilities to an ultra-portable form factor. Unlike internal capture options, this compact external device connects to your computer via USB, making it an ideal choice for laptop streamers, mobile creators, and multi-platform tournament setups.
Equipped with cutting-edge HDMI 2.1 architecture, the 4K X allows you to feed your home display a pristine high-bandwidth signal while simultaneously recording your performance at a smooth 4K at 144 frames per second.

Product Features in Detail
Next-Gen HDMI 2.1 External Pipeline
The inclusion of HDMI 2.1 eliminates the typical resolution compromises of external streaming. You can pass through high-refresh-rate gameplay up to 4K at 240Hz, ensuring that what you see on your gaming monitor remains uncompromised while you broadcast.
High-Frame-Rate 4K144 Capture
The 4K X goes beyond standard 60fps limitations by capturing video up to a staggering 4K resolution at 144fps. This lets you record hyper-detailed, fast-motion gameplay with cinematic fluidity, perfect for high-action titles and competitive shooters.
Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) Passthrough
Say goodbye to distracting visual anomalies. Built-in VRR passthrough syncs your display's refresh rate perfectly with your console or PC output, keeping your native gaming experience completely free of stuttering and screen tearing.
Ultra-Low Latency USB 10 Gbps Interface
Utilizing a ultra-fast Type-C data connection, the audio and video capture feed is sent to your broadcast computer with near-zero latency. This ensures your live gameplay preview inside apps like OBS remains perfectly synced with your microphone commentary and controller inputs.
Broad Device and Mobile Ecosystem Compatibility
Highly versatile, the card works seamlessly with traditional consoles, PCs, and Macs. It also expands capabilities to mobile workflows, enabling direct capture from portable systems like the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and Type-C mobile devices.
Native Broadcast App Integration
The hardware functions as a driverless plug-and-play device on modern operating systems. It is instantly recognized by industry-standard software like OBS Studio, allowing you to quickly deploy overlays, manage alerts, and go live to Twitch, YouTube, or Discord without setup friction.
