The Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2 (ASIN B07WZML5GN) is available on Amazon.ca for $249 CAD and is the internal PCIe capture card of choice for dual-PC streaming setups that need true 4K60 HDR10 capture with hardware H.265 encoding and zero-lag HDMI passthrough. The card installs directly into a PCIe × 4 slot and supports OBS, XSplit, and Streamlabs out of the box.

"Installed it in my streaming PC and the quality difference versus my old HD60 S is immediately visible. 4K60 footage looks broadcast quality. My YouTube numbers improved after the upgrade."

"The passthrough latency is genuinely zero. I game on my main TV with zero lag while the card captures everything on the streaming PC. It is the only capture setup I have used where gaming feels completely unaffected."

"OBS integration is seamless — it appeared as a capture device immediately with no special configuration. The hardware encoding keeps my CPU at reasonable levels even during 4K60 streams."

"The HDR10 passthrough is the feature I use most. My PS5 outputs Dolby Vision to my TV while the capture card records SDR for streaming. Both work simultaneously without any compromise on either side."

No HDMI 2.1 passthrough
The 4K60 passthrough cap means gamers who have upgraded to HDMI 2.1 TVs for 4K120 gaming cannot maintain their TV's full capability with this card in the chain. It covers the current PS5 and Xbox standard use case but will be a bottleneck as 4K120 becomes more common.

Several content creators who run Mac-based production setups purchased this card expecting macOS compatibility and discovered it is Windows exclusive. Elgato's product page makes this clear, but the disclaimer is easy to overlook in marketplace listings.

Installing a PCIe capture card requires a dedicated streaming or gaming PC with an available PCIe slot. Single-PC streamers should consider whether the motherboard has bandwidth to share between the GPU, capture card, and NVMe drive without performance impact.

The bundled 4K Capture Utility software is functional but basic compared to third-party options. Users who want advanced scene management, alerts, and overlay integration will need to pair it with OBS or Streamlabs regardless.
Source: Amazon reviewerThe Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2 is the gold standard for internal PCIe capture cards, delivering true 4K60 HDR10 capture with zero-lag passthrough and hardware encoding that keeps CPU overhead minimal. The PCIe form factor limits it to desktop Windows PCs, and the lack of HDMI 2.1 is a meaningful future-proofing gap, but for dual-PC streaming setups targeting PS5 and Xbox Series X content at 4K60, it remains the most reliable and capable internal capture solution available.
