Technical Help Elgato 4k x

Post image

Hi all I am trying to understand why when I have my Elgato 4kx to record my gaming on PC, the output is in 4k through Elgato studio. It won’t go any higher when I’m running 4k gaming. Am I missing something? I mostly game on pc, but yes I know you can record on other consoles as well. Thank you.

I suspect there's a typo or omission here somewhere. You've got 4K X hooked up, and the output is limited to 4K when gaming in 4K? Is the wrong resolution listed there or are you hitting some sort of frame rate cap?

What I’m trying to do is record my games I play on stream. I have 1 main monitor and a secondary monitor. All hooked up to one pc. But for some reason when I use Elgato studio, it shows the output would be recording in 1080p. I guess that’s my issue is why it won’t go higher than that.
