5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent capture device with knowledgeable support staff and amazing performance
Style: HD60 SVerified PurchaseBefore I get to the review I'll quickly detail my computer specs since it may matter.
i5-4690k
16gb ram
nVidia GeForce GTX 1070
1TB Samsung 840 Evo SSD which I had the software set to use for recording storage
So I actually purchased this on May 11th so I could record my (admittedly rather bad) gameplay from my consoles. When I got it I had a few issues which I'll detail but first I'll go through the pros.
First off the unit is really easy to setup. Just download the software from the website and install it then connect the device. If you wish you can install the software ahead of time while you wait for a unit you ordered to arrive.
The software itself is pretty stable. I didn't have any real issues during recording. The only one I had, which may of very well been user error, was that it seemed to be "recording" where the clock was moving but it didn't record. I had messed with some settings prior so I reset everything to default and it worked fine after.
I'm actually able to get full 1080p 60fps without issue. This worked fine out of the box. It may have to do with my specs though and as such your mileage may vary. There are steps on the Elgato help site that can work towards improving performance if for some reason you are not able to get that.
The recording was clear and didn't have any frame drops. Please be aware if you are trying to play the video via VLC and getting frame drops or what appears to be a scrambled picture please try another player that might actually use the system decoder. VLC uses its own decoder and it seemed to have issues when I tested my first couple of recordings. When I used a different player it worked fine. If people have to know I do use K-Lite Codec Pack but I don't think that was what fixed it but it may affect what system decoder was actually used. The fact that I use that doesn't constitute an endorsement or recommendation of that software. The issue with VLC may be resolved in a future update of the software if it isn't already.
Elgato Support is very very good. They communicated via email and there may be a delay but responses are from actual people and I didn't have any troubleshooting based auto-replies. I did get one for the initial email receipt but that just gave appropriate response timeframes so that expectations could be established. Kudos to them for doing that.
You do not have to hook up the HDMI out if you don't want to. For me I was just using it to hook up to the computer and using the software is perfectly acceptable.
The delay is pretty much invisible. I was able to play the game using purely the feed from the software without any real issue.
Now for the cons.
My unit had a seemingly loose USB connection. When moving the unit would sometimes disconnect. I did get the unit replaced with Elgato where the issue continued. As a second step they actually sent me a replacement USB 3 to USB C cable (same as what was in the box) and that seems to have resolved the issue. So... if your unit seems to drop out while you are moving it then it may be advisable to just try a different cable and see if the issue persists. I can only guess there was a loose wire in the connector that plugged into the Elgato HD60 S.
If the unit does happen to disconnect while the Game Capture HD program is running then it may crash. This may result in the loss of the recording or corrupted data in it. For the most part, this is a minor issue because it shouldn't disconnect on its own anyways.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2019Style: HD60 SVerified PurchaseI'm just going to make simple comparisons between the Elgato HD60 S, and the Avermedia Live Gamer Ultra.
Elgato HD60 S
Pros:
- Capture card's design has excellent build quality, and it's very compact too!
- Immediately picks up the video signal of my Nintendo Switch the moment the system is turned on
- Excellent video quality
- Frame rate is at 60 FPS
Cons:
- Colors will be a bit off under the default settings. You can use OBS's Color Correction filter to improve them, so it's an easy fix.
- The audio from the game's capture will fade in once the system is turned on, but this is really a minor complain on my end.
- The Elgato's firmware and software get constant updates like about every week or so. Unfortunately, you NEED to keep everything up to date, otherwise your capture card will not work properly.
- Needless to say, you definitely must download pretty much all of the software from Elgato's website.
Now for the Avermedia Live Gamer Ultra
Pros:
- Excellent design, as it has it's own vent to extract heat (The Elgato HD60 S does not have a vent that is visible, but that's not important to know.)
- Great video quality
- Frame rate is at 60 FPS at max
- Updates are not constant, but they do happen when updates for the firmware are needed.
Cons:
- Build quality on the capture card itself feels just a little cheap, but it definitely beats the build quality of the first Live Gamer Portable capture card, which I had back in 2015, but it died on me months later.
- The video signal reception is delayed the moment you turn on your console, but it also depends on the console you are using. Unlike the Elgato, you have to wait a few seconds for the video feed to show up in OBS (If you use that, which I also recommend)
- Colors on the video feed may be a bit off by default, but then again, OBS's Color Correction filter can fix that easily in seconds.
In conclusion, these two capture cards that I own are very much neck-and-neck in terms of quality, durability, technique, software, and also firmware features. No matter which capture card you use, however, I strongly recommend using OBS for the best streaming experience (or recording).

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic piece of equipment for any streamer; or playing via a PC!
Style: HD60 SVerified PurchaseI bought this during the Black Friday of 2018 where Amazon had reduced it to £100 (down from £150). I'd been on the fence about it for a while and decided to jump on this.
For reference with the below; I'm using a dual monitor setup.
All in all I'd say it's worth the full price never mind the discounted price! It's easy enough to set up - Plug in the USB-C to a USB3 port on your machine, toss in the HDMI cable, download the drivers and you're set! The Elgato software provided is a fairly decent tool and comes with a separate audio tool so if you want to forwards the audio without using the video software; you can do so.
Even nicer is it works with OBS without any issues and OBS itself is capable of passing through the audio without any assistance of the Elgato applications themselves. With the dual monitor setup you can pass the picture straight through without issue and suffer no loss of quality or latency issues.
I've tested the Elgato with a Nintendo Switch and a PS4 - the PS4 requiring a slight settings change on the PS4 itself to make it compatible (this is a PS4 / HDMI issue and not an Elgato issue) and the switch worked without an issue.
If you want a device that requires no actual capture card to be installed and something a bit more portable and flexible; this is absolutely the device you want.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good capture card that gets good results
Style: HD60 SVerified PurchaseI bought this so I could share my switch gameplay with friends. The set up was fairly simple, and granted while it took me awhile to properly configure the software so that there wouldn't be input lag when using my PC monitor as display, the result was as if I had just connected my switch to a monitor. My only criticism is that the capture card should have on board presets to make it more convenient to transfer settings to other PC's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Etonnant
Style: HD60 SVerified PurchaseJe me sers de ce HD60S sur un microscope Amscope (HD200VP-UM 1080p 60FPS)
L'image capturée est belle et fluide, le soft est mieux fichu que celui de Avermedia, j'étais pourtant farouchement opposé à tous ces périphs USB (cartes son, tv, acquisition, réseau) mais je suis obligé d'admettre que de gros progrès ont été fait surtout depuis l'avènement de l'USB 3.0
Une petite coquille cependant, le périph Elgato Audio semble être "forcé",
Pas moyen de le désactiver et il lui arrive de passer en "Périph audio par défaut" ...
plus de son, faut se creuser la tête, mais bon ça va probablement être réglé prochainement.
Très content de ce boitier, je me suis renseigné sur la possibilité d'en utiliser plusieurs, ça semble faisable, et je vais en prendre deux de plus pour ajouter un DSLR et une Gopro dans OBS.
J'ai bien compris que ces boîtiers sont surtout prisés par les Gamers en Livestream, j'avais une petite appréhension avant de l'acheter car j'ai déjà été très déçu par une carte AVERMEDIA PCIe mais non seulement la compatibilité de ce Elgato est très large c'est aussi du bon matos ! je m'incline.
