If you play and record from the same PC, it is likely you will run into some performance related issues. 
Your computer does not only have to deal with the game that you currently play, but also take care of 
the recording and processing of that video at the same time. The result might be that your processor will 
run into a high work load, which might cause issues with the recordings. 
 
These issues could be screen tearing, audio distortion, or other graphical errors that might end up in the 
recording. 
 
That is why the System Requirements only apply to capturing from a console, unless you have a second 
PC, which fulfills the System Requirements and can be used to record the Gaming PC. 
 
  

 

Recording and Playing on the Same PC 

 

 
 
If you plan on playing and recording on the same PC, please make sure to use the correct setup. 
 
For the purposes of this article, we will use a Windows 10 PC as an example. 
 
For the setup, you will need a graphics card that is seated within your gaming PC, this will be most likely 
an AMD, or Nvidia graphics card. The HDMI out on your graphics card will be used to connect to the 
HDMI input of Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro with the provided HDMI cable.   
 
1)  Install the Elgato 4K Capture Utility

2)  Make sure to clone your Display via the Windows Display settings, or via the Nvidia Control Panel / 
AMD Catalyst Control Center (below is a screenshot from the Nvidia Control Panel).
