You’ll of course need a VRR display for this work. But even if you don’t have one, Elgato is making sure that you’re equipped to utilize this feature in the event that you upgrade. And if you plan on streaming your game sessions, getting a TV for that new PS5 or Xbox Series X|S that comes with VRR may be something you want to consider. The PS5 doesn’t yet support VRR, but Sony is nearing a rollout of the feature. The Xbox meanwhile is already supporting it. The Elgato HD60 X also comes with a refreshed design that makes a couple of subtle but likely welcomed changes. HDMI and USB ports are now on the back of the card. Which should streamline your cable management. Making the look of having this plugged in a little more pleasing to the eye.
In addition to VRR passthrough, the Elgato HD60 X supports 4K60 HDR 10
If you’re playing games on a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, both of these consoles will support 4K60. As long as your TV or monitor supports 4K resolution and 60fps as well. The HD60 X is said to offer gameplay capture at this resolution and framerate so players “won’t have to compromise the next-gen gaming experience.” It comes with HFR Passthrough as well. Elgato is gearing this in particular towards gamers with high refresh rate displays. And it supports up to a 240Hz refresh rate while gaming at 1080p. Additionally, it’ll support up to a 120Hz refresh rate at 1440p.
