More Information about Supported Graphic Cards - Mac Only
The following information is for the Mac only.
For maximum performance, Elgato Game Capture HD60 S requires that your Mac have a dedicated GPU.
Both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs are supported.
Macs with only an Intel integrated GPU are not supported as most of them won't be able to process
hardware video encoding and video compositing at the same time (a dedicated GPU is required for
video compositing in most cases).
Important notes:
You may try using a Mac with no dedicated GPU with Elgato Game Capture HD60 S but in this case you
will probably not be able to record or stream in 1080p60 without loosing frames. If this is the case, you
will need to reduce the frame rate (30 fps) and/or the resolution (720p) and/or eventually the value of
the quality parameter.
You can find a list of Macs able to encode in 1080p60 in real-time at the end of this FAQ: Elgato Game

More Information about Total Installed RAM
To use the basic functionality of Elgato Game Capture HD software with Elgato Game Capture HD60 S,
including video capture and editing, your total amount of installed RAM needs to be 4GB or higher.
If you have less than 4GB of installed RAM, then there will be various problems that will not be solvable,
such as incorrect playback or capture. Such a low amount of RAM is not supported in any way. The only
remedy would be to install more RAM.
