Elgato 4K Pro
A pro-tier internal capture card on PCIe, doing 4K60 capture with 8K60 HDMI 2.1 passthrough for flagship rigs. It's a specialized desktop solution rather than a do-everything card. It's for builders who want internal capture and high-resolution passthrough; laptop users should skip it outright, since the PCIe interface requires a desktop with a free slot.
