News - Elgato Reveals New Budget-Friendly 4K 60FPS Capture Device, The Elgato 4K S
<p>Elgato makes some of the most popular streaming equipment on the market, including the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-HD60-External-Capture-Card/dp/B09V1KJ3J4?tag=gamespot-promos-20">Game Capture HD60 X</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Game-Capture-Neo-Passthrough/dp/B0CVYKQNFH?tag=gamespot-promos-20">Game Capture Neo</a>--and not the company has announced a new entry to its capture card lineup, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-4K-External-Passthrough-Near-Zero/dp/B0FFTFYGLV?tag=gamespot-promos-20">Elgato 4K S</a>, which is positioned as the company's new entry-level option. The new capture card supports PC and all major consoles--including PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch 2--and is capable of capturing gameplay in up to 4K resolution at 60fps. If you're considering upgrading your streaming or gameplay capture setup, the Elgato 4K S is available now for $160 at Amazon.</p><div title="6533379 - Elgato 4K S" data-embed-type="buylink" data-ref-id="3951" data-template="4" data-size="buylink__listicle" data-title="6533379 - Elgato 4K S" data-collection="" class="norewrite"> <div class="buylink-container"> <div class="js-buylink-item-container buylink-item-container"> <h2 class="item-title"> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-4K-External-Passthrough-Near-Zero/dp/B0FFTFYGLV?tag=gamespot-promos-20">Elgato 4K S</a> </h2> <h3 class="item-deck"> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-4K-External-Passthrough-Near-Zero/dp/B0FFTFYGLV?tag=gamespot-promos-20">$160</a> </h3> <div class="image-container"> <img class="main-image" src=https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/square_medium/1702/17023653/4537210-51n-aan1ubl._ac_sl1500.jpg> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-4K-External-Passthrough-Near-Zero/dp/B0FFTFYGLV?tag=gamespot-promos-20"></a> </div> <div class="item-description"><p>As stated above, this new capture card records gameplay at up to 4K 60fps. For comparison, the company's previous HD60 X could only record at 60fps in 1080p, dropping to 30fps for 4K footage--that should make for an appreciable upgrade for those upgrading to this new capture card. The Elgato 4K S features a USB-C port (5Gbps) and two HDMI 2.0 ports. Setup is just as easy as Elgato's other gadgets, requiring little more a USB-C and two HDMI cables to connect the card to your display, gameplay output source, and PC or recording device.</p></div> <div class="item-buttons"> <div> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-4K-External-Passthrough-Near-Zero/dp/B0FFTFYGLV?tag=gamespot-promos-20">See at Amazon</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><p>Early reviews of the Elgato 4K S are overwhelmingly positive, with users noting its portable form factor, minimal input lag, and capture quality. So if you're a creator looking to make the jump to 4K content without breaking the bank, the Elgato 4K S certainly seems like it's worth a closer look.</p><p>While this is a leap over the HD60 X, the Elgato 4K S is not a replacement for the premium <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-4K-Ultra-Low-Streaming-Recording/dp/B0CPFWXMBL?tag=gamespot-promos-20">Elgato 4K X</a> ($245), which is capable of capturing 4K footage at up to 144fps. The 4K X also offers a few additional bonuses, such as added HDR support, HDMI 2.1 ports, and 10Gbps USB-C ports. While most streamers will be just fine sticking with the 4K S's 4K 60fps capture quality, those who demand the highest quality will still find the 4K X the better option.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/elgato-reveals-new-budget-friendly-4k-60fps-capture-device-the-elgato-4k-s/1100-6533379/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
