Passthrough not working HD60x Dual PC Streaming

So I am trying to use the passthrough feature with dual pc streaming, but obs is picking up a signal as if its an extended display (2nd monitor) instead of passing through whats on my gaming pc (1st Monitor). I have my HDMI cable connected from GPU to HDMI In (capture card), USB to streaming PC, HDMI Out (capture card) to Main Monitor (1st Monitor, Zowie XL2540k) and obs is still outputting the 2nd monitor. I had fps issues with just using only hdmi in and cloning the display, and thats why I'm trying to get passthrough to work.

Ok so that means you still have another monitor connected to your graphics card. Either disconnect it, or set the capture card as the Main Display in Windows Display Settings

If I set the Capture Card as the main display how much latency/delay is there? or is there no delay? Since I am going to stream CS2

For the passthrough, none, that’s the point of the passthrough If you’re trying to ply from obs, that will be a bad time

oh no no not thru obs dear lord my soul LOOL. Alright i'll set it as Main display. Thank you so much!! Just to make sure it doesnt matter what HDMI cable I use for HDMI out to main monitor? Like it doesnt need to be 2.0 or 2.1

You need a HDMI 2.0 cable both from the gpu to cap card and cap card to monitor yes, of course it matters

I just got a HDMI 2.0 cable and plugged into my monitor 👍 This will be my final question so on Elgato 4k Capture Utility for EDID do i set it as Display or Merged. Can't do eternal since HDMI out is feeding my monitor (and shows black screen).
