Have been watching this on amazon for a WHILE, lowest price ever on amazon was 269. This is an absolute smoking deal, thanks OP

This was an insane sale. I have a HD60S, which cost me like $230+tax last year. Just didn’t even think about it and grabbed this, I’m in the middle of building my 2nd PC too. I literally thought this was a luxury item I wouldn’t bother to upgrade to. Unreal. Thanks op.

Unfortunately I have not found a solution. I sort of gave up on it tbh. Elgato claims to not know what’s going on but I’ve seen many updates since my issue that address distortion problems in Wavelink. The updates, however, did not fix the issue I am having so it’s still an ongoing thing.
Complaint
I am having the same issue. I noticed its very intermittent and lasts between maybe 8 seconds to over 30 seconds, but its random each time. I have my PS5 going through a 4K60 Pro capture card, and I have the capture card audio going through Wavelink so I can hear all audio through my headset.
Complaint
To tell the truth I don't really care what capture card I have as long as it does what I need it to do. HD60S didn't do what I needed because of its limitations, Avermedia did. I am not aware of any downsides. I was looking for a capture card which can do 240hz pass-through and 120fps capture.

Can't wait to get this on Thursday. My 4K60 has a slight delay about under a second but still noticeable.

I recently got a Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2 for recording on obs to help my pc's performance ... When i attempt to play games that need super low latency. i can visually see and feel the input lag which makes certain games such as rhythm games unplayable. is there a solution for this that i have just yet to find or am i just at a brick wall and should refund my capture card?
Complaint
I’ve been having an issue for a while now where my Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2 no longer transfers the audio from my PlayStation to my headset. My PlayStation is connected through an HDMI splitter, which goes to both my PC and my monitor. I do get sound through the monitor, but there’s no audio coming through my headset or Discord. The audio only works again after restarting my PC.

I am trying to capture Apple TV with the Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2. However, after connecting the Elgato to my motherboard and Apple TV, the 4K capture utility and OBS are both black screens.

Very unfortunate timing for me lol. I just bought and installed a 4k60 Pro less than 2 months ago in late June

I had Elgato HD60S, switched it to Avermedia Live Gamer ULTRA - GC553, 240hz pass-through, 120Hz capturing, what can be better?
Comparison
I record my gameplay from the PS5 with the internal 4k capture card via OBS. Unfortunately I have the problem that I get audio problems for about 5 seconds which then go away automatically. I only use the HDMI in from the capture card. HDMI Out is not used.

✅ What Works
- The PCIe interface is the 4K60 Pro MK.2's fundamental advantage over external capture cards. By connecting directly to your motherboard's PCIe bus, it bypasses USB 3.0 bandwidth limitations entirely and delivers the full 4K60 HDR10 data stream without compression artifacts or frame drops. For content creators building a dedicated streaming PC, this is the technically superior approach.
- Zero-lag HDMI passthrough means your gaming experience is completely unaffected by the capture process. The signal from your console or PC goes directly to your TV at full 4K60 HDR10 quality while the capture card simultaneously records or streams the game. There is no additional latency, no quality degradation — your gaming display sees exactly what it would without the capture card in the chain.
- Hardware H.265 encoding offloads the compression work from your CPU to dedicated silicon on the card itself. This means encoding overhead is minimal even during 4K60 capture — your streaming PC's processor remains available for other tasks like running chat bots, overlays, or browser tabs without performance degradation on the output stream.
- 4K Capture Utility software is straightforward and purpose-built, but the real compatibility strength is OBS integration. The Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2 appears as a standard capture device in OBS, XSplit, and Streamlabs without any special configuration. Content creators who already have their streaming software configured can add the card without rebuilding their workflow.
⚠️ Worth Knowing
- This is an internal PCIe card requiring a desktop PC with an available PCIe × 4 slot. It is entirely incompatible with laptops and does not offer any external connectivity option. If your streaming setup uses a laptop, or if you need to move between rooms, the Elgato HD60 X external card is the correct product.
- Windows-only — the 4K60 Pro MK.2 does not support macOS. Elgato's external USB-C cards like the HD60 X support Mac, but the PCIe internal card is a Windows ecosystem product exclusively. Mac users who want 4K capture should look at the external lineup instead.
- The HDMI passthrough caps at 4K60 HDR10, which covers PS5 and Xbox Series X at their primary output modes. However, it does not support HDMI 2.1 features like 4K120 or VRR passthrough. Gamers who play at 4K120 on an HDMI 2.1 TV will see their TV quality limited to 4K60 when the capture card is in the HDMI chain.
- Software capture through 4K Capture Utility supports local recording in H.264 or H.265 at up to 4K60. For streamers who also want to archive local recordings alongside their stream, a fast NVMe drive is recommended — 4K60 H.264 files can reach 50+ GB per hour depending on bitrate settings.
ClearPick Verdict
When it works, streamers praise the 4K60 passthrough and the software polish. But the most-repeated reports across seven threads are core-function failures: audio distortion that survives reinstalls, capture dropouts mid-session, and HDCP fights with consoles — and several owners describe moving to newer cards because of it. A capable card on a good day; owners report too many bad days to call it elite.
