is there ANY way i can syphon the Elgato hd60 on my mac?
i'm simply done with display capture, having "elgato software" open all the time costs unnecessary CPU usage.

isn't there some workaround? maybe a way to not have "elgato software" open all the time?
is there a driver out there that i'm not aware of?

so far i've tried;
Wirecast: which can't syphon
Camtwist: similar to display capture (not what i'm looking for)
Parallels desktop + obs: this takes waaaaaay to much cpu
Elgato HD: the stream command is super broken, seems like the cpu usage just goes ham whenever i turn it on (ugh i guess i don't need to convince you guys why this software is bad)

the problem i'm having is that there's Lag whenever i stream even tho i'm hardwired.
so i ask of you again... is there ANY way i can syphon the Elgato hd60 on my mac, in obs? (please say yes :)

Nope. There's nothing you can do. I would recommend trying to return the Elgato and picking up something like the USB3 magewell card that works well with OBS on macOS.
