The Elgato Game Capture 4K60 S+ requires an SD card that meets certain minimum specifications in order to properly record and store your gameplay footage.
Elgato advises utilizing SD cards with a write speed rating of at least V30 (Video Class 30) or UHS-3 (Ultra High Speed Class 3) or higher.
Meeting these recommendations gives you the ability to record your footage with the maximum supported recording bit rate of 200 Mbps (Megabit per second) or 25 MB/s (Megabyte per second).
It’s worth noting that using an SD card that does not meet these minimum specifications could result in dropped frames, corrupted recordings, or other issues with your captured gameplay footage. So, it’s important to make sure you choose a high-quality SD card that meets the recommended specifications to ensure the best possible recording experience.
