Stopped working after 2 months, not fully Mac compatible
When this device works it’s pretty good, but mine stopped working after 2 months. It was intermittent the entire time though. It’s described as being compatible with Mac, but it really isn’t. Features are limited on Mac, the RECentral software (which was the only recording software I could get it to work with at all) is even more limited. Do not buy if you’re a Mac user—and probably not otherwise either. ... show more

Is great when not being used with a receiver
I am a fan of the Live Gamer Bolt, previously was using the Live Gamer Ultra but was unhappy with the washed out image when I was using HDR. Can say that when you are feeding the signal directly from the console into the Live Gamer Bolt and passing through to the TV it works as advertised. However, be warned if you are using anything like an HDMI switch, HDMI matrix, or a receiver with this thing and want HDR in 4:4:4, it won't do it. I currently run 4 consoles through a 4x2 HDMI matrix and have one output going to my TV and the other output to this. It works great when I have the HDMI matrix in 1080p mode, 4k30hz, 4k60hz 4:2:0, but it refuses to recognize the signal when I have my matrix in 4k60hz 4:4:4 mode. Oddly enough I do not have this issue when I used the Live Gamer Ultra or when I used the ElGato 4K60 Pro mk.2 Maybe this is something that they can patch with a firmware update on their end and correct, but for the time being I am unable to play in HDR and use this to capture it, I have to knock everything down to at least 4:2:0 chroma subsampling which a PlayStation 5 does not recognize as HDR. It's a bummer, was really hoping to get this better integrated in my setup but for right now, it's a hassle to keep plugging and unplugging cables when their other products and competitors can do it just fine. ... show more

Big Issue, please read the entire review.
So the card itself is a great product. I'm using a NUC 9 Pro i7 model to encode the stream with an RX 6500 xt for processing the video signal and the one thing I can say is when it works, it's lovely. However, the road to getting this to work besides obvious technical difficulties such as not having a gpu was only one bump in the road. After getting one, the card still refused to passthrough refresh rates higher than 120. My gpu, the 2080 super, has a USB type-c port that I used with a type-c to hdmi cable to push the video signal through the card. However, what required some digging was the type of usb-c port was on my gpu, its 3.1 gen 2, a 10 gbit/s port. 1080p120 is approximately 7.5 gbit/s so it worked, but cranking the hertz to the advertised 240 @ 1080p caused no signal to display (~15 gbit/s). After getting an active DisplayPort to HDMI cable, I'm able to passthrough a 360hz signal with no hiccups. This was a doozy to get working, took me 7 months to troubleshoot, but after figuring out it was simply a mishap that occurs in the world of technology, I'm glad to recommend this product. 10/10 ... show more

Doesn't scale down.
It doesn't scale down, you have to play at 60 fps and it still is choppy and cuts out. I did all the upgrades and bought a thunderbolt laptop (Asus tough 15") The audio was decent, but what good is that if the picture blacks out when game fps drops or raises?

Broke shortly after purchase.
I don't like writing these, but I also don't like spending a lot of money on something that turns out to be a complete let-down. When it works, it works very well; catch is, it won't work well for long. I've had this about 3 months now, barely using it at first but using it heavily during the past month. It is attached to a high-end Windows laptop, and kept in a static spot with good temperatures. My first order of this (yeah), it didn't work out of the box. Just wouldn't turn on. So I did a return, and the replacement did work for a few months... and then it just stopped working. Didn't drop it. Didn't cover it. Kept it clean. Not to keen on gambling 400 dollars again, because that's honestly what it feels like. My HD60 Elgato has worked for like nearly a decade now and is still going strong. I have no reason to believe that Elgato's 4k model would be any different. I sincerely hope your customer service makes the difference here. ... show more
