If you are trying a resolution or frame rate that isn't working, either via passthrough or recording, please contact our support team. We will be able to test those settings internally.

 

High Frame Rate Support - 144Hz, etc

 

Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2 is capable of passthrough as well as capture of formats such as 1440p 144 Hz.

These formats however do not have industry standard timings, and as such, may not work perfectly. In rare cases, using a custom or edited EDID may be needed. Learn more about using a custom EDID.
 

Pixel Clock Support - Up to 600 Mhz

Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2 supports signals over HDMI 2.0 up to 600 Mhz pixel clock with a bandwidth of 18Gbps (The maximum supported by HDMI 2.0)

You can manually calculate the pixel clock of the resolution and frame rate, to see if it will work with
Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2.

A bandwidth calculator is available here - https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/729232-guide-to-display-cables-adapters-v2/?section=calc

Please Note: Even if the pixel clock is below 600 Mhz, we are not guaranteeing that particular resolution and frame rate combination will work with Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2.
