Elgato Game Capture HD60 S UNBOXING! 🎮

The new wave of consoles from Sony and Microsoft gives everyone the tools to record, share and even live-broadcast their gameplay. If you're playing a game that supports that resolution and frame rate, then you'll actually be able to stream and record what you're seeing, not a scaled down version of it. Of course, you'll also need a suitably high upload speed to stream this quality live, but for recording, it won't be a problem.

The process of retrieving footage on the Xbox One, in particular, is so convoluted that few other journos I know actually use it. A device like the HD60 S allows you to use Elgato's Game Capture software to record footage straight to your computer's hard drive in whatever format you like.

So it's good that anyone can use this software to also stream their gameplay online to a variety of services, including Twitch, YouTube and Dailymotion. Elgato Game Capture HD doesn't need a lot of cables or even a power supply to record your game: With direct Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 input, you can use elgato game capture hd60 s a single cable to connect it to your console.

The Game Capture HD60 Pro is the most powerful capture card currently manufactured by Elgato, whom we have already introduced in the first entry on this list. I would put it down to my CPU being not powerful enough (for reference, I run an Intel i5 4690K) but it was odd, as I didn't experience any stutter when using Elgato's Game Capture software.

While the form is almost identical to the HD60 S, the innards aren't - while that card is optimised for streaming, the regular HD60 is all about recording footage. The Game Capture HD app is what brings the experience all together. The Elgato Game Capture HD60 S is a small, capable game capture device that's simple to set up and use to both stream and record your games.
