![]() There are only very few with true HDR and they are usually on the very expensive side. Newer gaming monitors are usually a combination of high refresh rate with HDR400 or HDR600. High refresh rate monitors are more common compared to HDR monitors. ![]() It’s a marketing term similar to “VR Ready” or “Gaming” or “RGB” to better sell their products. Monitor companies just slap it on their monitor just for the sake that they say their monitors are “HDR capable” or “HDR ready”. Most gaming monitors nowadays is only at HDR400 or HDR600, far from HDR10 or true HDR with 1,000 nits of brightness. Right now, HDR is still not that popular. I’m not particularly excited about the HDR10, but it’s a good feature and will be useful in the future when HDR10 (true HDR) becomes a “default” feature or at least a common feature in most gaming monitors. The newer Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2 (photo below) is capable of capturing 2160p resolution at 60 fps, and on top of that it is also capable of capturing HDR10. For reference, below are photos of the OLD 4K60 Pro. It is a little bit confusing though, but just remember the new one has an MK.2 on it, and the old one is already discontinued. The first one is also called Elgato 4K60 Pro but with less features and it was also physically larger. Q3 last year, Elgato released the Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2, it’s the second generation (thus mark 2) of their 4K capture card. So, if you are recording your gameplay, especially to capture those best moments, or streaming stick around and continue reading our Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2 review below and learn more about this capture card.Įlgato 4K60 Pro MK.2 Review – “Capture 4K HDR Flawlessly” There are also several new features or improvements. This is actually the second generation, the first one was a bit larger in size compared to the MK.2. Well, one effective solution is to use a capture card, and today we are going to look at the Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2. I see a lot of streamers where their gameplay suffers from stuttering or (sudden severe) lag. Thus, frame rates are down, sometimes causing stutters or lag. And even at that, reconsider purchasing it.One of the most common issues that I encounter when I try to record my gameplay or game benchmarks internally, whether using GeForce Shadowplay or any third-party software, is that it usually affects the performance of the PC. TL DR: Don't buy this card unless you're a 4K enthusiast that has a LOT of cash to drop. That's not even mentioning the extra load of encoding the PC would have to do for 4K livestreams to be viable for the average consumer. On the subject of Twitch livestreams, the card doesn't even seem to be able to stream footage at 4K either way, so I wouldn't buy it on the basis of streaming since you'd only be able to stream footage tops. Though, it is only for those who definitely have the cash to spend on it's $400 price tag. With 4K being more accessible now than it was a few years ago. There's definitely a market for 4K content and products. It makes little sense to pick this card up. Unless you're trying to be a TotalBiscuit or tech channel that does benchmarks and can use as little performance drops as possible. I don't see why you wouldn't use Nvidia Shadowplay or AMD ReLive to capture your gameplay with very little performance hit. However, if you're recording footage on PC and you don't care for system performance being marginally impacted. I can definitely see this card being used by people who have seperate PCs for recording and gaming. The card is definitely marketed towards higher end PC gaming YouTube/Twitch channels. This card currently requires the user to have a pretty decent workstation PC to be able to handle it, specs here. Sure, you wouldn't have been able to get 60FPS gameplay (since most games on the PS4 Pro only run at 30FPS but I simply cannot recommend it as it stands. I love this capture card and it makes livestreaming a breeze when there is virtually no delay on my gameplay during streams (Ok, there is a delay, but it's so small it's basically non-existent.)įor those of you who own a PS4 pro and might want to record gameplay at 4K so you can upload at 4K. ![]() This is coming from someone who actually swears by Elgato's products, and I own the HD60 Pro. Elgato announced the 4K60 Pro which is an internal PCI-E capture card that can record footage up to 4K resolution at 60FPS.
