Corsair launches newest capture card with the Elgato HD60 X

pcgamer.com:

Corsair owned brand Elgato is one of the biggest names in niche streaming gear. At the moment Elgato is probably best known for weirdly specific streamer gear like this green screen mousepad(opens in new tab), and acoustic foam panels(opens in new tab). But Elgato also makes tonnes of gear that has wider appeal, like the Elgato Facecam Webcam(opens in new tab), amazing streaming mics(opens in new tab), and great capture cards(opens in new tab).

Capture cards are devices that allow you to plug a source into your PC to capture the footage. They're most commonly used for streaming and recording console footage, but can have other uses too. For the longest time, Elgato was one of the only reliable brands out there in the capture card market, and it's just dropped the newest one to the line up. 

The HD60 X is the new external capture card(opens in new tab) that follows on from the popular, and our most recommended(opens in new tab) HD60 S+ line. This upgraded version boasts high quality live streaming in 1080p 60 FPS to services like Twitch or YouTube. While doing this it can also record the footage in HDR10 to your computer's hard drive. This gives you the best quality Twitch streams while still recording that sweet HDR footage for more visually intense video projects.

When playing the games, you should be able to enjoy full 4K through the new passthrough technology. It also supports Variable Refresh Rate passthrough and high frame rates on compatible displays. This promises a low latency experience while playing games through the unit on your PC. This can be one of the hardest things about using a capture card without having extra kit, so it's a promising look for the new device.
