[SOLVED] Will my motherboard work with elgato 4K 60 pro mk2?

[Chrisse123]

Hi! I was wondering if my motherboard, the b85-g43 gaming will work with the elgato 4K 60 pro mk2? To my understanding it will work, but I’m not a pc expert and not 100% sure.

Here is the link to the motherboard

And here is the link to the elgato specifications:

The card should drop into your PCIe 2.0 x16 slot(PCI_E4 labelled on your motherboard). I'm concerned about the rest of your specs in your build. To answer your question, the card will drop in but whether it can capture content at 4K without an issue is entirely up to the specs of your rig.

Thank you for your answer! Yes I’m aware I’m probably not able to record in 4K, but that’s not what I’m going to do!
