Note that it can't capture 4k144HDR, those numbers are maxes of what it can capture but not all at once. Quoting the website for HDR capture the max frame rates and resolutions are: "up to: 4K30 / 1440p60 /1080P120 HDR"

I have never used this or exactly know what this is but I am guessing this can record from other hardware with HDMI output, for example, Playstation, camera, graphics card etc. Difference- 1. As I mentioned previously, 2. OBS requires system resources which may slow down your PC. With this one, the processing is being done by itself and not the source hardware. Someone, please correct me if I am wrong.

Latency is low but audio is stereo.
Avermedia live gamer ultra 2.1 can do 5.1 audio.

I bought one of these a month ago for screen capturing my PC and Android TV gameplay, and I know for sure the "Up to 4K at 144* frames per second" spec is misleading: The capture card will max out to 60FPS at 4K resolution and to 144FPS at 1440p resolution. It does indeed work really well w/ OBS. However, the device does favor NVIDIA GPU encoding.
Just realized my comment is in reference to the "Elgato HD60 X" that I purchased from Amazon which I had confused w/ the "Elgato 4K X 4K144" which is being advertised in the OP, my mistake.

It'll capture 4k144 in SDR. 4k30 is for HDR
Hmm… If that's so, it's an incomplete explanation. Not your fault, but they're leaving something out. Probably, when they capture at 4K144, they reduce the chroma to 4:2:0.

HDR adds 25% overhead, because it typically means you're capturing 10-bit color instead of 8-bit (10/8 = 1.25). If it can capture 4K144 SDR, it should easily be able to capture 4K60 HDR and even 4K100 HDR. (100 * 1.25 =125). So their SDR figure is probably using chroma subsampling, most likely 4:2:0, which cuts bandwidth in half. This adds up, because if you cut the 4K144 in half with 4:2:0, now it's the same bandwidth as 4K72. if we take our 4K60 * 1.25, we get 4K75, which is roughly the same.

Manufacturers should be honest about these things and not leave us guessing.

For capturing video games, you don't need to strip HDCP. PlayStation and Xbox don't turn on HDCP for games, only for playing protected video content (movies).
