Pros: Easy to install
Plays nicely with consoles

Cons: Doesn't play well with anything but HDMI for audio (even though there is a line in jack)

Other Thoughts: Bought this for recording/streaming gameplay & studio sessions (recording/mixing) on Twitch and YouTube. Hooked up a breakout cable (3.5 stereo to dual 1/4) to the last 2 outputs of my Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 and the 3.5 to the Elgato, let the high static screech and infinity echo commence and that's all it did no matter what settings a change if I put my computer on HDMI I got no audio picked up on the Elgato. So if you have a pro audio interface I would suggest you skip this and go download OBS (it plays nice with everything except the Elgato HD60, which I find humorous)

Pros: excellent

Cons: excellent

Other Thoughts: Excellent Item fast shipping easy to order.

Pros: +Compact
+1080p 60fps true
+TV Pass through when you computer is off

Cons: None that I have discovered yet.

Other Thoughts: I haven't had much of an opportunity to test all of the features but I did run it when I got it and It ran true with minimal heat at 1080. The image on my computer even looked better than my source image. (My TV is getting dated) I would definitely recommend this as at least a starter device to suit needs. Great buy

Pros: I got it to display an image.

Cons: In order for it to show up on my main screen, I must have the el gato software open on my PC screen. This was not the case with the original Game Capture HD. So far it is useless and with the quality of my original el gato it is very disappointing. Why release a product that doesn't work? Emailed Elgato about this. Still waiting on a reply.

Other Thoughts: Avoid this for now and get the old one. It doesn't do 60fps but at least it works properly. Again, i'm sour. Hopefully I just got a dud and this gets straightened out sooner than later.

Pros: best capture card on the market, great for streaming and youtube videos, great resolution and just an all around pretty good game cap

Cons: kind of expensive, has a little bit of lag, not the best editing software, but what do u expect it's built in

Pros: -Record 1920 x 1080 Resolution
-Video Bitrate: 40Mbps
-Audio Bitrate: Around 200kbps
-Supports Hardware Accelerate H.264

Cons: -Audio Bit Depth was capped at 16-Bit...
-Experienced audio delay by 1 second when recording on PC
-Badly organized when recording game footage
-Live action was enabled by default and there's no way to disable it when booting to windows

Other Thoughts: -It's pricey
-If you're recording PC gameplay, it's better off to record with NVIDIA Shadowplay or Dxtory (must be in 1280 x 720P @60FPS)

-Make sure you have mammoth mechanical hard drive to record large gameplay footage

-Requires HDMI Output cable to connect for graphics card and you must connect HDMI Input Cable to Elgato HD 60 to record PC gameplay

-This capture card was intended to record on consoles

Pros: The price is nice and unlike the Avermedia HD Capture, it actually can capture at 1080@60fps. The quality on my twitch stream is very watchable. As long as you use OBS your Commentary and audio output can be streamed at your discression..

Cons: There is only one thing about the HD60 that I do not like and that is that you have to plug it into a USB port everytime you travel and because my Tower goes with me everywhere, I hate unplugging it and plugging it in. I wish they could have made this PCI E Interface like the Avermedia. I can not knock off eggs for this because I purchased it knowing this, but I just want my input to be out there.

Other Thoughts: Unless you pay big dollars for your Internet actually streaming 1080p@60fps can be an issue, at least for me it has been. In OBS I just bumped down the settings to 720p@60fps and afterthat there was no issues. I would also like to note that if you are trying to use this card with OBS it's important that OBS is running the 32-bit version otherwise OBS will NOT detect the Elgato.

Pros: This record and compresses captured video from HDMI sources amazingly without even using a USB 3.0 source. I wouldn't have even thought that possible with the slow data transfer rate of a 2.0 USB.

The software that you can download that will record for you can also record a webcam and a microphone and SEPARATE the files so you can post production them later without them all being smooshed into one file. That's an editors dream come true.

Cons: I have yet to find any.
The only thing I would say is that sometimes video setup in general can be difficult. But this has been my experience with any capture device. It just takes some tweeking of settings to get everything and functioning.

Pros: Small, simple, but slow processing. Everything works well when I'm recording, no hiccups, very high quality video including webcam overlay.

Cons: Expect a 20 minute recording to create at least a 2gb file with webcam overlay. Processing through the elgato game capture software is buggy and freezes your computer or times-out. But while processing the file (merging the layers and saving as .mp4) it has been timing out. My pc is brand new and has double the minimum system requirements so I'm chalking the issue up to issues with the el gato game capture software.

Pros: Fairly simple to use
Works well, captured video quality is spot on
Adding commentary was easy, don't listen to youtubers who tell you that you need to use a headset AND a 2nd microphone, and a billion hard to find connectors and components, just the headset will do

Cons: Should come with instruction manual
Extremely demanding system requirements, especially while saving/transferring video
The RMA process sucked and newegg charged me for the stupid tee shirt that came with this thing (Thanks for nothing, Ive spent thousands here so far this year)

Other Thoughts: My wife and I wanted to start a 2 person gaming youtube channel ala 2 best friends play, so I'll base my review around trying to get that set up. I spent a week with the Elgato HD60 before deciding to send it back, in an attempt to give it a fair shot, because I tend to get frustrated easily. My thoughts by the end of the week boiled down to this-

- The Elgato works well for what it does; the quality of captured video is basically perfect, and it was easy to set up. Literally HDMI in, HDMI out, and a USB.

- The software IS pretty simple, but it doesn't come with any instructions at all, so I spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to figure out small stupid things which could have been avoided entirely with a basic layout of the controls. I didn't even bother with the editing software since the wife uses Sony Vegas, but I can guess that it would have been a disaster. (Heres a hint; the "mute" button in the software doesn't turn off your mics in the video, it just prevents the software from playing your voices back, because they will be picked up by the mics and played back again, again again... Like I said a VERY BASIC instruction manual could have saved me a few hours of messing around in the control panel and virtual audio cable settings.)
- The software is extremely demanding. I have a decent rig, not the best, but formidable enough- 16GB RAM, GTX970 video card, and Intel 4690k at 3.5 Ghz. The Elgato needs a massive 4GB of RAM to run, but the kicker was the strain on the CPU. Recording it uses around 30% of the CPU, but actually SAVING the video afterwards, because it needs to encode and transfer it from the legato to your computer (which takes hours, by the way) uses literally 100% of the CPU, so I got several blue screens trying to process longer videos. (an hour long video will take upwards of 4 hours to transfer, getting a BSOD at 3 hours is heartbreaking)

- All the strain on the computer also hampers performance if you're planning on recording games as you play them on the PC. If you're recording a console, terrific, doesn't matter. BUT, that brings me to my next note;

- Setups can be a pain, depending on your TV/Monitor setup. I am fortunate enough that I am using a TV as a monitor, so recording a console was easy- PC is plugged into video 1, so I'd start recording then switch to TV 2, very simple. MOST people don't use a TV as a monitor, and MOST people don't keep their TV anywhere near their PC. I have no idea if monitors can have a couple different video inputs to select from, (I don't like monitors and haven't bought one in 10 years) but if they don't, you can look forward to buying a TV specifically for use with the elgato or lugging your tower around the house whenever you want to record. Unless you have a super powerful laptop. Just something to keep in mind, I know I hate having to buy item number 2 and 3 and 4 to make item number 1 work.
