Elgato releases all new 4K60 HDR10HD60 S+ (4K60 HDR10) Capture Card
Elgato announced the launch of HD60 S+, an external video capture card that lets content creators play high-fidelity console games in stunning 4K60 HDR10 while simultaneously streaming or recording gameplay in 1080p60 HDR10.
It’s easy to get set up and streaming with HD60 S+ thanks to a simple USB 3.0 connection and full compatibility with today’s most prominent streaming applications including OBS Studio, Streamlabs OBS, and XSplit. Accompanied by powerful Elgato 4KCU recording software, HD60 S+ is ideal for content creators looking to grow audiences on Twitch, YouTube, and Mixer.
Building upon the original hugely popular HD60 S, HD60 S+ allows 4K60 HDR10 zero-lag passthrough, with onboard video downscaling to enable streaming to any platform in industry standard full HD 1080p60 quality and recording unlimited 1080p60 HDR10 footage to your hard drive. HD60 S+ also benefits from ultra-low latency Instant Gameview technology, keeping gameplay, mic, webcam, and other sources perfectly synched.
Elgato’s 4KCU software powers HD60 S+, offering exclusive features to help you get the most out of it. Take advantage of Flashback Recording to save your gameplay retroactively with convenient DVR-like controls, and Live Commentary to record microphone audio as a separate track. These tools allow you to adjust gameplay, game audio, and microphone audio independently in post-production with ease, creating better, polished, more professional content. Record the superior color depth of HDR10 that would be lost using other software, and leverage advanced file formats that let you easily arrange gameplay footage, gameplay audio, and microphone audio independently in your favorite video editor.

That's nice that Elgatto is following in the footsteps of Aver since they have a capture card that does this very thing. I just watched a video about the Aver card and they were waiting for Elgato to follow suit.

And what about H.265 support.You can increase the bitrate as much as you want, H.264 can deliver terrible quality, there's a reason Netflix/Amazon Prime, Youtube/Google/Stadia are all using H.265 or equivalent(vp9 for google), and it's not just lower bandwidth.

Honestly, for streaming or simply capture, I don't think the majority really needs this to anymore.
GPU H264 might be bad, but it is enough for most users, H265 even better with new nvidia and video enconders being able to do 4K/60 H265.
Unless we really want to record without any penalty on the performance that today is just very small, or console users.
I don't see the reason for this at all.
Altough I would love to have something like this, since I do performance some benchmarking videos, and it would be nice to display the real framerate and not the framerate + software recorder on the back.

Yeah there is only 2 cards that I am aware of that support the H.265 that are available for purchase and they are from Aver 1 being their 4K capture card and the other being a 1080p60. To me h.265 at this point is for those who want that extra mile just like those who want to upgrade their PCs every year or so.
