AVerMedia Live Gamer HD 2-PCIe Internal Game Capture Card, Record and Stream in 1080p 60 with Multi-Card Support, Low-Latency Pass-Through on Xbox series x/s, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Windows 10 (GC570)

I purchased multiple products to attempt to capture my Cannon Camera for livestreaming. The internal cards I bought from another company required PCIe slots a I do not have accessible. This one did with the 1x slot. I also tried a USB link device that I constantly had to reconnect to use.This one, I took it out of the box, opened my PC case, and popped this card into the open 1x slot, plugged in my camera, and viola! it worked perfectly from the get go. I was even able to have some fun and feed the passthrough into my USB capture link thing and make TWO MEs!!! LOLGreat product so far, will update if that changes. Worth the $$ especially on sale. Used to capture a Nintendo Switch AND a second PC with perfect results each time.

This is a pretty good capture card that does what it says. It also only takes up one PCIe slot and is very easy to install. It's also very easy to set up in OBS and get working on Windows 10 without installing any additional drivers.However, on Linux, this device simply does not work correctly (and I use Arch Linux as a daily driver). OBS recognizes it, but once you try to configure it to something besides 640x480, it stops working and requires a reboot.I'm not knocking off any stars since it never *claimed* to support Linux, but it's worth noting that, if you're a Tux fan, you should steer clear of this.

I have been using this capture card for my streaming channel and once i got it set up and figured out it has been great. there was some difficulty on my end most likely from this being my first capture card and not knowing how to set it up to work with the streaming software that I use at that time but now that I have figured that out it performs great every time with no issue. have been using it for almost a year now and would absolutely recommend this card to someone looking to stream or record gaming content.ease of installation 5/5ease of set up 3.5/5quality 5/5dependability 5/5

New Update*: Initiated a return on this item as it cannot fit the needs of my expectations. This capture card apparently does not allow you to game at 1440p and record at 1080p. This is not the companies or products fault. It has more to do with my lack of knowledge on streaming/capturing. If you are new to streaming/recording and you have a 1440p monitor or higher this will not work for you. Gaming will be forced at 1080 unless you disconnect the card. Purchase a card that does 1440p and up to fit your needs. For 1080p this card worked just fine and as such my original review remains the same.Updated Review: So far it works. I tried using RecCenter4 which is the software for it as well as OBS third party software and both seem to work just fine. I can't really provide technical details since I don't know what im doing in relation to streaming or recording. Recorded a few 1080p game play vids that ran pretty smoothly and did not affect my game play during the recording session. Also liked the features RecCenter 4 provides just need to learn how to use it more efficiently. Overall: The install is very easy, plug the card in, connect the HDMI cord and you're all set. Very little if any impact to game play while capturing recorded video. Hopefully the card lasts long.Original review: I cant really review it since I think mines was DOA. Tried three different pcie slots and the card would not power on. Tried on another pc and it caused a system crash.My system specs:Windows 10Ryzen 7 3700xAsrock b550 phantom gaming 4Gtx 1080 g132gb ddr4

Does this work? Sure does. Have used it with a Switch and a Wii (using an HDMI converter) so far and it handles both just fine.Does this work seamlessly? Probably not unless you're using their software to stream. Their provided software(RECentral, I think it's called) seems to be a required install to capture it as a source in other applications, so much like getting anything working in OBS, you'll probably have to tinker with it a bit to get the configuration working the way you want. I had to install that and then run it to get the card to work at all in OBS. Installing it I can understand, because it probably added some driver/library needed. I don't know why I had to actually run their software once to make the card available to capture from OBS Studio, but whatever. Just worth noting that that's a step to take.Am I happy with it? Absolutely. I wish it had some kind of analog video input so I could more easily capture ancient hardware outputs (e.g., my NES,) but that's a minor gripe and I imagine not a popular enough feature to include in a modern capture card.

The only capture card that anyone should buy. I opted for the elgato hd60 pro prior to this -- it suffered from constant sound problems and an inability to function properly outside of its own software (i.e. in OBS). The ALGHD2 has had no issues.
