Manufacturer description

The Elgato Game Capture HD is an external USB 2.0 recorder that sits between your Xbox or PlayStation and your TV, capturing gameplay at full 1080p (1920x1080) to a Mac or PC. Advanced hardware H.264 encoding happens on the device itself, so your computer is not stuck transcoding while you play. Lag-free HDMI pass-through sends the signal straight through to the TV, so what you see on screen is what you would see with the capture box out of the chain. Flashback Recording is the standout feature: the buffer runs continuously, letting you scrub backward and save a clutch moment you never hit…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored RICLBE Elgato Game Capture HD using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the streaming gear category. RICLBE's streaming gear lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for streaming gear of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What resolution does the Elgato Game Capture HD record at?

It captures unlimited full HD 1080p at 1920x1080 using hardware H.264 encoding built into the device, so the encoding load stays off your computer.

Does it work with both Mac and PC?

Yes. The Elgato Game Capture HD connects to a Mac or PC over USB 2.0 and records Xbox or PlayStation gameplay to either platform.

Will the capture box add lag to my TV picture?

No. It offers lag-free HDMI pass-through, sending the console signal on to your TV so you play on the unaltered feed while recording.

Can I stream to Twitch without buying separate encoder software?

Yes. Live streaming to YouTube and Twitch is built in, and one-click sharing posts finished captures to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

What is Flashback Recording and why does it matter?

Flashback Recording captures retroactively, so you can scroll back and save a play you did not press record for. It is one reason buyers value this feature.
