Elgato Launches 4K60 Pro MK.2 Capture Card
Elgato, the leading provider of hardware and software for content creators, today announced the launch of Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2. Boasting the most advanced features in its class, 4K60 Pro MK.2 sports 4K60 HDR10 capture, ultra-low latency Instant Gameview technology, up to 240Hz passthrough, and more. Fitting easily into small form factor cases, this compact PCIe capture card is less than half the size of its predecessor, and with an MSRP of just $249.99, makes 4K content creation more accessible than ever.
Building upon the original acclaimed 4K60 Pro, 4K60 Pro MK.2 empowers content creators to capture gameplay in the highest resolution and dynamic range possible. 4K HDR10 capture at 60 fps (frames per second) lets you play high-fidelity games while simultaneously streaming to Twitch in 1080p at 60 fps and recording 4K60 HDR10 footage to your hard drive. Instant Gameview technology lets you monitor your capture feed with ultra-low latency, perfectly syncing your broadcast with your gameplay. Support for an impressive array of resolution and refresh rate combinations, such as 1080p 240Hz and 1440p 144Hz, enables high frame rate gameplay while capturing via a dual-PC setup.
Play in HDR while capturing in SDR thanks to advanced hardware tonemapping, ensuring perfect color reproduction without putting stress on your CPU. Support for multiple capture feeds means you can simultaneously send video to multiple apps, such as OBS and Elgato's 4KCU recording software. And multi-device support enables several 4K60 Pro MK.2 cards to be slotted into the same PC - so you can capture video from multiple cameras, consoles, and computers at once.
Elgato's powerful 4KCU software works side by side with 4K60 Pro MK.2, offering unmatched flexibility and control. Flashback Recording enables you to save your gameplay retroactively with convenient DVR-like controls, and Live Commentary allows you to record microphone audio as a separate track. Combined, these tools enable you to edit and arrange gameplay, game audio, and microphone audio independently in post-production.
For content creators who demand quality without compromise, 4K60 Pro MK.2 offers everything you need to capture flawless 4K HDR content.

capture up to 2160p60
pass-thru 1440p@144Hz
but then i realized it's only HDMI and no DisplayPort 1.4
there is no information what HDMI version is that either (2.0, 2.0a, 2.0b, 2.1 ?)
also it needs PCIexpress x4 so i guess it's only 3.0 not 4.0

I put in my order and it will be here on Friday.
I was aware the product was out though :D
Ill let you know when I get it.
When are you planning on getting one ?
- Doesnt support Gsync or freesync. This is because they are a display port tech and you have to use hdmi with the capture card.
- While I can play at a refresh rate higher than 60Hz, but I cant seem to un-gray the option to increase my refresh rate from 60 to 100 which is what my monitor is overclocked to. It could also be that one of the HDMI cables im using from the GPU to the monitor isnt HDMI 2.0 but im not sure.
- Im playing at a locked 60 FPS despite vsync being disabled. I think it's locked with the refresh rate.
- In Streamlabs OBS, you have to set your source as a Video capture device and because of this, you cant capture just the game but rather your entire screen. Which is bad because if I alt tab, everyone can see everything im doing and I dont want that.
For me having a high refresh rate is a must, even if I can at least record at 60hz (1080P) I'd be fine with that..
I await your findings!
Connect graphics card and LCD display using DisplayPort-DisplayPort cable. In NVIDIA Control Panel select LCD display and set 1080p/1440p, 100/120/144/240 Hz. Set G-Sync, HDR, what you want, like always.
Connect graphics card and and capture card (In port) using HDMI-HDMI cable. You will see two devices, your LCD display and capture card (4K60 Pro).
Clone LCD display and capture card, LCD display (1) as source.
Verify clone configuration.
Verify output configuration to capture card. Select 4K60 Pro and you will see the same config (resolution, refresh rate) as on LCD display. 4K60 Pro configuration is grayed because clone source is DisplayPort (LCD display).
Now you have the best settings for games on LCD display and at the same time graphics card will send the same using HDMI to capture card.
Now, what I am trying to accomplish is; Im still streaming in 1080p while playing in 3440x1440 so thats good news. Now the only thing I need to figure out is since I have to have it in a mirror mode as the capture card is it's own "monitor" set at 1080p, how I get the capture card to read just the 1080p display with the game playing so I can do other things on my 3440x1440 when i have a few seconds of down time to do other things on my computer. like change music, read email, etc without anyone else seeing that im doing it.
