Not having to bounce around to a different space where the consoles are. I really only have to interact with one device and that's my PC. It's coming through Windows so I can basically treat it like it's a PC game. I am not digging around behind my desk and yanking wires to plug in a console every time I want to play on them.Ĥ.) It's honestly super convenient because I don't have to look at separate sources and whatnot to play my games. Update drivers with the largest database available. "Why not just plug the consoles into one of the 3 monitors you've got?" Well, all 3 monitors only have 1 output so there's no free ports available.

Safe to assume that if I'm gaming, I'm in a Discord call with at least 1 of my friends.Ģ.) I wanted a combined audio source from my PC and my consoles.ģ.) I also stream my games through Discord to my friends pretty frequently. All were completely playable as if I'm playing connected directly to an output source.Įxplanation as to why I use this setup and not direct display output:ġ.) I am pretty much always in a Discord call when I'm gaming. The games I tried were Mario Kart 8: Deluxe, Super Mario 3D All Stars, Ninjala. I did a little test on my Switch to see if I could tell a difference between direct display output to the TV in the living room vs my capture card into my gaming rig. I wouldn't have been able to finish any of these games if it has as bad of input latency as people make a fuss about. Was just fine without any issues whatsoever. No issues and I never struggles with any quick time events.
I finished Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, Infamous Second Son, The Last of Us 1 and 2, and one of the Spiderman games. I have my PS4 Pro and my Nintendo Switch connected to an HDMI switch that then goes into the HD60s.
I've been using my Elgato HD60s to play my console games though my 3 monitor gaming PC setup and from what I can tell, I can't really tell a difference from playing through my HD60s vs directly into a monitor.
