Both of these can pass through 4K 120Hz and 4K 144Hz for next-gen consoles and displays, but understanding their limitations and benefits is not an easy task. Here's my Elgato 4K X review and Elgato 4K Pro review, plus Elgato 4K X vs 4K Pro battle. NOTE: Elgato Capture JUST updated the day this review goes live to support direct 4K60 capture from 4K X and Facecam Pro. W00T!
