Elgato (Corsair) Releases HD60 X Capture Card
Elgato announced the launch of HD60 X, a powerful new external capture card. Sporting state-of-the-art specs and seamless compatibility with the newest generation of game consoles, HD60 X equips anyone to stream and record their gameplay in the highest quality without limitations.
Building on the acclaimed HD60 S+, HD60 X features all-new architecture with rear ports to keep cables out of sight. The palm-sized, plug-and-play device connects to a console and sends video to both a gaming display and PC. You can then play high-fidelity games while livestreaming to Twitch or YouTube in Full HD 1080p60 quality, while simultaneously recording 1080p60 HDR10 footage to your hard drive. Instant Gameview technology syncs your broadcast with your gameplay, allowing you to monitor your capture feed with ultra-low latency.
"User-generated gaming content is one of the biggest entertainment vehicles in the world," said Julian Fest, SVP and GM of Elgato. "We’ve pioneered the proliferation of this content for 10 years now. Our game capture solutions span three console generations and have powered hundreds of millions of uploads and livestreams. Today, we’re thrilled to launch yet another definitive capture solution for the latest generation of game consoles."
HD60 X ushers in state-of-the-art passthrough technology for capturing your gameplay without compromising your next-gen gaming experience, so the latest PlayStation and Xbox titles can be enjoyed to the fullest in 4K60 HDR10 quality. HD60 X also features cutting-edge Variable Refresh Rate passthrough for ultra-smooth gaming without lag, stuttering, or screen tearing on compatible VRR displays. For competitive players with high-frame-rate monitors, HD60 X offers lightning-fast HFR passthrough for fast-paced gaming in 1080p240 or 1440p120.
4K Capture Utility (4KCU), Elgato’s powerful yet easy-to-use game capture software, is custom-built for creators looking to record without limitations. 4KCU captures all content – gameplay, cutscenes, soundtrack, chat – in high-resolution 1080p60 HDR10 or 4K30 quality with pristine 48kHz audio. If 4KCU is not set to record, Flashback Recording automatically caches several hours of gameplay so you can slide back in time to capture retroactively. Live Commentary enables you to save your voice as a separate track and adjust levels on the fly. To record while broadcasting live, Stream Link technology outputs HD60 X’s native feed to 4KCU and third-party broadcast software like OBS Studio, so you can record clean, clutter-free gameplay while streaming with overlays, alerts, etc.
Gameplay recordings are saved directly to your hard drive in space-saving HEVC format. 4KCU’s Library enables convenient file management tools, including Smart Folders to find and group recordings based on your search criteria. Files may be exported as AAF files for immediate editing in software such as Adobe Premiere or Vegas Pro. Fully compatible with PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and dual-PC setups, HD60 X makes it possible for creators to capture gameplay in the highest quality without compromising their next-gen gaming experience.

No devices now support VRR pass-trough.
The hi end capture cards do support 4K/60+HDR capture, I have one, but block VRR
This thing is strange, 4K60s+ can do 4K/60+HDR and at least based on this article the new one is limited to 1080p+HDR and 4K/30 capture, its made for old streaming only
BTW, PS5 internal capture is so good that im on not installing a capture card on new pc build.
I always wonder at what point do companies like Elgato/Corsair decide to make new iterations of what is esentially the same product (Such as the HD60 S/+) and when they release 'new' ones like this. And for that matter, whether or not some of these new features like HDR support can't just be flashed in. As far as I can tell, all this does is support VRR, which frankly I thought they all did anyways...
