Elgato capture cards launched in Nepal with 4K recording support

Elgato just dropped five new capture cards in Nepal, and to tell you briefly, these are basically the tools that let you record or stream your gameplay without your console or PC breaking a sweat. The lineup ranges from the budget-friendly Neo all the way up to the flagship 4K Pro, covering pretty much every streaming need you can think of. So, let's dive in this article, where I will take you through what exactly these Elgato capture cards, including their prices in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Elgato Capture Cards Overview

What's Elgato All About?

Elgato's basically the name everyone might have knowledge of when it comes to streaming gear. If you do not know, well it was founded back in the late '90s in Germany and now owned by Corsair, they've built their reputation making stuff that streamers and content creators actually want to use. Beyond capture cards, they make those popular Stream Decks, professional webcams, microphones, and lighting setups. Think of them as the Apple of streaming gear — everything works together, and it usually just works.

What Even Is a Capture Card?

A capture card is something that takes whatever your console or PC is displaying and sends a copy to another computer for recording or streaming. So you plug your PlayStation into the capture card, the card connects to your streaming PC, and boom — you can play at full quality while recording everything. The best part is that your gaming performance doesn't take a hit because the capture card handles all the heavy lifting separately.

Elgato Capture Cards Overview

Entry-Level: Game Capture Neo

The Neo is Elgato's "just get me started" option. It'll pass through 4K60 HDR to your TV so games look crisp, but records at 1080p60 — which is perfectly fine for most streamers anyway. It's basically a USB dongle that you plug in and forget about. No complicated setup, no software headaches, just connect and go. For someone dipping their toes into streaming, this makes total sense.

Mid-Range: HD60 X and 4K S

The HD60 X has been around for a while and it's solid — 4K60 HDR passthrough with 1080p60 HDR recording.  The 4K S is the newer kid that can actually record in full 4K60, plus it handles incredibly high frame rates like 1080p at 240fps. If you're into competitive gaming or want future-proofing, the 4K S is where things get interesting.

High-End: 4K X and 4K Pro

The 4K X is where Elgato flexes with HDMI 2.1 support. We're talking 4K144 recording and passthrough, which is overkill for most people but perfect if you have a high-end gaming setup. The 4K Pro goes internal (PCIe card) and supports 8K passthrough while recording 4K — it's basically for people with dual-PC streaming setups who want absolutely zero compromises.
