Our take on the Elgato HD60 X
The Elgato HD60 X is an HDMI capture card for consoles and PCs that passes 4K60 HDR10 and variable refresh rate through to your screen. It suits a streamer capturing a PS5 or Xbox without installing drivers.
The listing gives 4K30 HDR10 and 1080p60 HDR10 as the capture modes, so the 4K60 figure applies to pass-through, not to what reaches your stream. Windows and Mac need no driver, and OBS, Streamlabs and vMix all work with it. Latency is listed under 100ms, with no watermarks, time limits or subscriptions. The retailer shows 4.6 across 5,328 ratings, at a tracked $180.

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
