I can run my Elgato HD60 Pro through my PC, to my cable box, and I can watch and record TV on my PC now, and I can record kids shows from Netflix for my 5-year-old and transfer video to her TV's USB. It keeps her occupied so I'm happy. It also makes watching TV better because now I can use the 10.2 Surround Sound that's hooked to my PC for cable. My HDTV is HDCP protected, as is my cable box, yet the splitter helps bypass both on its own to success.

The Elgato software called "Game Capture HD" is very, very good. It can be a little confusing setting it up to your personal needs, but it works once you get the hang of it. For me, I only use this for TV, so all I need to do is record the .ts file without encoding or streaming. However, I do stream my TV to Facebook sometimes, and it does an incredible job at it. It's fun sharing what I'm watching with friends. There's a section on the program that allows you to choose multiple streaming platforms other than Facebook, such as Twitch, or straight RTMP links. You can easily choose your audio devices, and stream multiple audio and video in one feed, plus record it.
The installation of this device was extremely simple. You just place it in your normal PCI slot in your PC, lock it up, boot the PC, install the software, restart, and ta-da... all done. Works like a dream.
Video quality is phenomenal. It can go as high as 1080p @ 60fps @ 21Mbps bitrate. There are also simple visual effects such as brightness and contrast, and for the streamers out there, it comes with pre-rendered stream overlay layouts.
Here's my PC specs:
Windows 10 Pro x64
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070
Intel i7-2600K
12GB RAM
With my specs, I can run the Elgato, my baby monitor camera, and a video file all together, and still easily browse the internet or do some photo editing in Photoshop. No lag at all. It uses about 25% of my CPU and takes up 320MB of RAM, and clearly my CPU isn't the most powerful, but works fantastic with this card.
Looking for something to stream with or record with? Get this. It won't let you down. However, it does require you to have Windows 10 only. A bit of an issue if you ask me, but everyone should have Windows 10 by now. It's the most superior OS in the Microsoft line.
****** EDIT 05/14/2018: This card now has serious bugs on Windows 10 Spring Update 1803. It no longer reads the card, the driver doesn't recognize that the card is present, and the troubleshooting on the Elgato website for the 1803 update is only a chance, not an actual fix. Currently, many people buying this are unable to use their HD60 Pro. It seems Elgato needs to release a new driver once they figure out the problem. As of right now, I cannot use my card. It's collecting dust, and the return windows for the item is gone. I'm currently in talks with Elgato Support, trying any method that one of their employees is trying to give me to remedy the issue. It's been three days, and so far no luck.I attached a new photo showing the issue at hand.
****** EDIT 12/05/2019: I have figured out the problem, after a year of minor on-and-off attempts. One day I just sat down and did my best to figure it out. The answer? It's the PCI slot. You should have a few PCI slots on your motherboard, and one of those slots is like a 'master slot'. I've had mine in the third PCI slot, but there is one above my GPU, but below my CPU that I call 'PCI slot 1'. Once Windows 10 upgraded to 1803, it somehow stripped the ability to use any of your PCI slots that aren't your main PCI slot 1, and now it requires the use of only the master slot. There is some sort of hardware/software communication issue after the Windows 1803 update.
I have tested this card on 3 PCs. Here are my results:
- The first PC has an old copy of Windows 10 without any internet. I tried it in each slot (2 slots on this one), and it worked every time.
- The second PC has the 1803 Windows 10 update. I tried it in each slot (2 slots in this one), and it did not work on PCI slot 2, but it did, however, work flawlessly in PCI slot 1.
- The third PC(my current main build) is the same as the second PC with every current update as of December 5th, 2019. I ended up with the same results as the second PC, except this one has three slots, not two. I tried all three, and only slot 1 works. The first slot on the top, closest to the CPU, seems to be like the 'master slot'. As long as you find the correct 'master slot', it works.
I have returned my rating back to 5 stars, but Elgato Support needs to understand this issue and give support for it. There are many people feeling abandoned and left out who can't figure out the answer.

I have returned my rating back to 5 stars, but Elgato Support needs to understand this issue and give support for it. There are many people feeling abandoned and left out who can't figure out the answer.
Physical Set-Up:
This was very easy. Take your case off, move anything you need to, depending on your computer, and put Elgato in the slot. Simple, and it fits very snuggly and comfy.
Technical Set-Up:
I made sure I had the most recent OBS and downloaded Game capture and whatnot. This was where I encountered the only problems. Once I had everything plugged in, I had Mario Kart running because it wouldn't turn off and would constantly show little clips so I could watch and listen. Everything ran well, and I booted it into OBS. For whatever reason, I lost my signal after fixing some sound settings to my liking and I had to uninstall and reinstall my drivers to get it back. I'm not sure why this happened, but the drivers fix worked.
During Play:
Quality was stupendous! 60FPS, never dropped (except general online lag on Mario Kart). HD quality and the only thing that I put for four stars was the sound because I noticed a couple of times the sound wasn't quite exact. It didn't cut out, but you could tell something was just barely off. It happened rarely, and it seemed like only I noticed it, so I won't fault too much for that.
Overall:
Highly recommend! Again, I haven't tested on other consoles or from my actual PC yet, but I can't wait to! No lag, only tiny sound things that only I seemed to notice, and once I had the drivers all properly running, everything was smooth and it felt like plug-and-play.
These were my reasons for choosing the HD60 pro card (They may not all apply to you):
• Heard that the S is also pretty fast and the game preview (computer-side) is amazing but felt more value in a PCIe-based express card.
• I already own an HD60, so I have the option to use with my laptop.
• The HD 60s utilizes USB 3.0 (C) and has a little bit meatier requirements over this the PCIe card requirements. I didn't own any computer that really would fully leverage it. Sure I had some with USB 3.0, but not 3.0 (C),
• PCIe version gives me the option to place the card in my old I7 Dell XPS 435MT,.
• Had 2 older desktops that the HD 60s wouldn't really be optimized for.
I felt that my newest gaming rig (and previous one) would be a good fit for a card, and had 1 slot open for it. My specs for my rig are:
Alienware Aurora R5
• i-7 6700K series processor (liquid cooled)
• 4 GB Nvidia GTX 970
• 3 TB Hard Drive
• 480 GB SanDisk Solid State Drive
• 8 GB (Ram - will upgrade next month to 40-ish GB)
Testing (My primary use is recording videos for youtube, not streaming. Soon though.):
• It's true, you could probably play the game on the computer preview. It's maybe just 1/3 of a hair slower, not noticeable.
• Recorded over 30 matches (each match being roughly 10 minutes) of Overwatch on the Xbox One,
• Recorded some with Voice Overs using the elgato software along with a USB Yeti (Blue Microphone)
• Recorded about an hour of footage of Fallout Shelter on the IPad, with a lightning to HDMI adapter
• Testing several settings with output. Separated out: WebCam, voice, and game footage to separate videos
(Takes longer than I thought, but it has to process each video sequentially, so when you think about that. It makes sense.)
Pros:
• HD60 Pro has a faster preview frame rate
• If you record/Twitch one console (Xbox one) mostly, the setup is static. (It's ready to go!)
• For streaming, should be a beast along with the master copy functionality
• Lower hardware requirements for a desktop computer versus the HD60s (make sure you fully look at the HD60s requirements before purchase.)
Cons:
• No easy portability. You must install in one desktop (not laptop compatible)
• Not a con per se, but there is no 3.5 mm input jack on the card (Like the HD60 and HD60s) You must depend on your desktop's USB or mic input (3.5 mm)
Results:
I am pleased with the PCIe capture card, I am most impressed with the go back in time and record functionality. I also, like that it's something I can leave on, and don't really have to worry about disconnecting the USB or HDMI cord by accident. I also like the newer feature of having a separate sound capture module. I order the proprietary Elgato Chat Link recording cable/splitter today (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017F85Q0S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and intend to use it to capture game chat.

• Lower hardware requirements for a desktop computer versus the HD60s (make sure you fully look at the HD60s requirements before purchase.)
Cons:
• No easy portability. You must install in one desktop (not laptop compatible)
• Not a con per se, but there is no 3.5 mm input jack on the card (Like the HD60 and HD60s) You must depend on your desktop's USB or mic input (3.5 mm)
Results:
I am pleased with the PCIe capture card, I am most impressed with the go back in time and record functionality. I also, like that it's something I can leave on, and don't really have to worry about disconnecting the USB or HDMI cord by accident. I also like the newer feature of having a separate sound capture module. I order the proprietary Elgato Chat Link recording cable/splitter today (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017F85Q0S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and intend to use it to capture game chat.

El software que pide que descargues de elgato capture hd se siente con menos lag, pero recomiendo más OBS o Streamlabs OBS para grabar el gameplay o transmitir en vivo, esto es porque estos últimos graban en mayor calidad y no son tan pesados los videos.
OBS en FHD 1080p 60 fps: aproximadamente 5gb por cada hora de video.
ElGato CaptureHD 1080p 60fps: más de 24gb por hora de video.
Puede estar mucho tiempo usándose y no se calienta, y si lo hace, no es tan perceptible al tacto.
Lo único que no me gustó es que tienes que tener encendida tu pc si quieres jugar nada más. Aunque eso se puede resolver comprando un cable más largo (si no es que ya lo tienes) de tu consola directo al monitor o tv.
Verbaut ist diese Elgato-Karte bei mir in einem Intel-Coffee_Lake-System, ob diese Karte auch in AMD-Ryzen-Systemen ordentlich funktioniert kann ich leider nicht sagen (nicht getestet, und wird es auch nicht, da der Einbau in meinem Streaming-Capture-System nicht so ganz "Einfach" war ---> u.A. wegen 1 Durchlauf-Slot-Blende für Custom-WaKü's für Wartungs-Arbeiten inkl. Wasser-Wechsel + 8 Nachgerüstete USB3.0-Schnittstellen= 2 USB3.0-Host-Controller mit NEC-Reanesses-Chip jeweils + 1 4-Fach-USB3.0-Slot-Blende werde ich diese Karte auch nicht mehr so schnell wieder raus holen).
Installation:
This card is very easy to install, it just pops right into a PCI-e slot on your motherboard, just plug in the HDMI from whichever device you want to use with it and you're golden.
Use: This device requires the Elgato 'Game Capture HD' software which installs the drivers, but most important it has the 'instant gameview' ability which allows you to play without any lag or delay. Some people say there is a delay but trust me there is not. I had it passthrough to one monitor while instant gameview was on another and I could see zero difference in the timing, everything happened at the same time on both screens.
Image Quality: The image quality is impressive...if you have it set up correctly. You must choose the device that's connected to the capture card then you can choose resolution, colour range and 'quality' (I normally have mine all the way to 'Best').
Also uncheck the box that says 'Convert Standard Definition to 640x480, that causes some lag sometimes.
TL:DR It's a great little card that sits tucked away inside your PC and does its job very well, I highly recommend you get this card, you'll definitely get a lot of use out of it if you're a YouTuber or a Twitch streamer.
Happy gaming!
Installazione, attuabile perfino da chi di computer non se ne intende particolarmente, una volta scaricato il programma i settaggi vengono da sé in base alle proprie esigenze.
Il fattore che più mi rende felice dell'acquisto è il cosiddetto "Instant Game view", ovverosia la possibilità di giocare guardando direttamente lo schermo del PC, senza ritardi negli input di comando o di voce. Questo ha reso la mia esperienza di gioco e di streaming realmente migliore e fluida.
Prodotto eccellente, consigliatissimo.
Nécessite un mimimum de connaissances en montage d'ordinateurs (s'insère dans le port PCIE comme une carte graphique.) Plug and play when it's installed.
Great product for the price and the quality!
