Had the Elgato equivalent, and it only gave me issues. This solved all of them. Top tier Produc
I’m so incredibly happy that I gave this card a shot. Like most people I was brainwashed into assuming that Elgato is the better product; I guess because they’re a bigger company. However never once did the Elgato work correctly for me. It was a mess of micro stutters no matter what I tried.
Avermedia solved all my issues. The card just worked; and it gave me the butter smooth 60 fps that all streamers want to achieve. Not only was it smoother, but also the colors looked better as well. Much more pop and saturation. I honestly have been so happy since ditching Elgato and giving Avermedia a shot.
For my particular pc configuration this card was a game changer.
Funktioniert Supe
Kann sie nur empfehlen im Gegensatz zur Elgato 4K 60 Pro deren Software nur das ntigste bietet hat man hier einige Mglichkeiten mehr und auch das schnere Fenster Layout spricht dafr zudem ist die Beleuchtung der Capture Card selber ein netter Bonus.
Qualidade
Muito feliz com esse produto, assistam o UNBOXING no canal Canelinha.
Great latency and video quality. Handles 1080i60 and 4k60p and everything in between.
I bought this to be backward compatible with my Panasonic GH2 which outputs 1080i60 and forward compatible with a new camera which outputs 4k60. At first this card did not handle 1080i60 correctly. It was blending both fields of the interlaced video together making it impossible to properly deinterlace in post.
I contacted customer support about this issue and it took quite a few e-mails to get to the correct person, but eventually their engineers wrote a custom driver and fixed the interlaced video issues. I’m very happy with the support they provided. If you have issues with your card, be patient with the customer support people and they will be able to fix your problem.
Spitzenproduk
Das ist ein Spitzenprodukt- leuchtet auch schn und die Software dazu ist auch ausgezeichnet!
Macht was es soll!
Habe mir die LG4K gekauft um Switch und PS5 gameplay fr YouTube aufzunehmen und alles funktioniert perfekt, genau wie beschrieben.
Eingebaut, Software und Treiber installiert und alles luft rund und perfekt.
Super!
Using the Is It Snappy iPhone app, I measured the added preview window latency using this capture card vs using a direct connection to the monitor, and it only added about 1 60hz frame. Roughly 16ms. This is good enough to play most games right in the preview window.
The video quality is great too.
I have only used it for a few days, but I have had zero reliability problems. It just works.
Edit: I’ve now tested this with a time sleuth latency tester on an LG OLED G1 running at 4k/120. Signal and capture format both set to 1080p60. I got a consistent 18.3 ms of total lag.
Works and looks great!
This thing was about as plug and play as you can get. No real hassle, and the video quality looks great.
Couple people I know went with the El Gato HD 60 and my streams 100% have a better quality then theirs.
This thing really is among the best for game capturing and it won't break the bank!!! The only complaints I have is that if you plan to use the bundled in software instead of something like OBS then you're mileage may vary cause for me, it takes an eternity to boot up and I only really needed to use the software when I had an issue getting the card to play nice with my HDMI splitter.

Like the only card on the market that supports 7.1/5.1 passthrough! It'll downmix to stereo for the actual stream capture, but passthrough is 1:1 perfect.

Before this card I had an internal Elgato HD 60 card. Aver media's internal card is so much better as well as the ReCentral software that it comes with. I highly recommend this card.

Excelente fácil de montar 👍
Lo primero un producto excelente fcil de montar ay qu instalar los driver juegos en un pc los us dual pc y puedo jugar 240Hz y captura perfectamente captura 4k y HDR Pass-Through el precio un poco cara pero vale la pena esa compra
It was plug and play. It did exactly what I needed for it to go. I found that installing it was easy, finding the drivers was also easy, using the drivers and solving issues was also easy. I haven't had to get in touch with support so I can't talk about that, but it's so much easier to use than Elgato products and I didn't have issues with sound from the stream pc to the game pc, etc. It worked like a charm and the quality was amazing.

Just makes life much easier being able to play games in HDR with a good SDR tone mapping after adjusting a bit based on your personal hdr settings. High refresh passthrough is just incredible. Upgraded from elgato hd60pro and the input delay is a lot better.

Una muy buena inversio
La calidad del producto y la la calidad de imagen son muy buenas
Zufriede
Gute Gamecard mit 4k. Der Einbau und die Installation sind einfach gewesen. Die RGB Beleuchtung knnte mehr Auswahl bieten. Der Lichtlauf ist zu grob , es gibt nur den Traum Modus wo der Lichtlauf Smooth ist, aber es fehlen bei dem Modus ein paar Farben. Die beigelegte Powerdirector 15 Software ist zu alt und fr mich nutzlos, lieber die aktuelle Software kaufen.
Aber das wichtigste ist das es in guter Qualitt funktioniert und das tut es.
Befürchtungen nicht eingetroffe
Nachdem ich ber eine Woche auf den Versand gewartet hatte, habe ich die Bestellung hier storniert und hatte zwei Tage spter die Sendung von einem anderen Seller im Kasten. Warum liefert Amazon diese Karte nicht rechtzeitig? Egal.
Es gibt sehr viele unterschiedliche Meinungen und Erfahrungen zu dieser Karte. Daher hatte ich mit groen Vorbehalten auf den Test im PC gewartet. Nun, nach allen wichtigen Tests, kann ich sagen, dass man hier fr einen guten Preis eine sehr gute Karte bekommt. Allerdings muss ich diese Aussage mit einer starken Einschrnkung versehen: Die Software AVerMedia RECentral 4 ist einfach nur das Letzte! Die Einstellmglichkeiten von RECentral sind fr eine Capture-Card berhaupt total rmlich. Ich wei, dass es gute und schlechte Programmierer gibt und dass die schlechten meistens auch die selbstbewusstesten sind, aber diese Software ist wirklich beispielhaft schlecht. Trotz ALLER Aktualisierungen einschlielich Nvidia-Treiber und das Ganze auf einem aktuellen Board mit einem Ryzen 7 3700X: RECentral luft nicht. Sobald ich auf Aufnahme klickte, kam nach einiger Zeit Herumrdeln, dass eine andere Anwendung die Karte angeblich gerade benutzen wrde und diese erst zu schlieen wre. Whaaaat? Der einzige, der hier die Karte benutzen will, bin ich. Aber diese “Software” war noch nicht zufrieden, sondern man kann den einmal begonnenen Aufnahmemodus nicht mehr stoppen. Die CPU luft derweil auf Hochtouren. Klasse! Man muss diesen rgerlichen Murks erst zwingend mit dem Task-Manager abschieen, dann ist Ruhe.
Also OBS installiert und siehe da, die Capture-Karte arbeitet wirklich ausgezeichnet. Wie geschmiert sogar. Die Aufnahmen lassen sich bis ins Kleinste kalibrieren und die Bildqualitt lsst keine Wnsche offen. Einen warmen Dank dafr an OBS. Fr AverMedia ist das freilich echt peinlich. Na gut, wenigstens luft der Original-Treiber und der PC friert beim Starten nicht ein – ist doch auch schon was. Wrde die Karte genauso viel kosten wie die Elgato 4K60 Pro, bekme sie nur einen Stern.
After getting rid of my Elgato Cam Link 4k I went with the Big dog Avermedia 4k and I have not been disappointed. 1-2-3 plug and play and we are done. works great looks great and the color LED looks nice as well.

So easy to install, & works great!
I’d heard some horror stories from Elgato users that they had to jump through hoops and spend hours just to get the thing to connect, so I decided to go for something a bit easier. It was very easy to install – just slot it straight into the motherboard, connect, download the appropriate driver from the website and boom! It connects as a Video source with its own audio to OBS so it’s great for streaming, and I haven’t noticed any frame drops at all!
Ottima per lo streaming, prodotto completo peccato per qualche bug di troppo
Devo dire che come prodotto mi ha davvero convinto, funzionale, facile da usare, flessibile..supporta l’acquisizione video fino a 4K hdr 60hz cio quasi il massimo raggiungibile, software intuitivo e gi pronto, che tra l’altro acquisisce i video in h.265 (per l’hdr), peccato per l’acquisizione dell’audio non sempre a livello di quella video ma tutto sommato pi che discreta e per qualche bug di troppo dell’app rec central che attivando l’hdr si bloccava, probabilmente poich la mia scheda video (rx 6700 xt) non ancora supportata.
Non un prodotto professionale e si vede, ma per il live streaming davvero ottima.
Eccellente
Facile da montare e da configurare, la qualit video ottima.
Possibilit di utilizzarla per un double setup pc.
A mio parere meglio di altri brand che vendono prodotti simili.
It’s one of the few capture cards able to capture 4K60 HDR video. The official capture software is superior to Elgato’s, both in smoothness and ease to use. The only reason I give it a 4-star is because the passthrough isn’t completely “LAG-FREE”; play any rhythm game and you’ll notice it (the latency is even greater than the Wii U gamepad’s wireless connection). But overall, as long as you can bear a very small passthrough latency, this won’t disappoint you.

Ich habe mir die Avermedia Live Gamer 4k fr meine PS5 bestellt, um auf Youtube Gameplay zu streamen.
Vorher hatte ich die Elgato 4k60 Pro getestet, die funktionierte aber nicht mit meiner PS5.
Whrend des streamens kam es stndig zum Bildsignalverlust fr einen kurzen Moment.
Die Avermedia Karte funktioniert hingegen einwandfrei und ohne Mngel mit der Playstation 5 und OBS Streamlabs.
Klare Kaufempfehlung von mir!
Works Real Good. HW Reqs are a little steep
gotta have windows 10, gotta have an i5 or better, gotta have a gtx 1600 or better, gotta have 8gb of ram or better… for the higher quality capture resolutions anyway.
has worked flawless since i got it so far though. does what it says. RECentral has been stable and everything. can’t complain.
Zero issues, unlike with the Elgato 4k60 Pro
I’ve had no issues with this card, and I have two of them in my streaming/recording rig. One’s for recording a cloned HDMI 1440p120hz SDR signal coming from my gaming PC, and the other card is for recording the 2160p60hz HDR signal coming from an HDMI switch where a PS5 and Xbox One X are connected.
The reason I have two cards is because there aren’t any switches I know of that can handle 1440p@120hz.
The Elgato 4k60 Pro has given me nothing but issues, which includes randomly not achieving a signal, the left side of the display signal flickering, and frame drops. I was able to temporarily alleviate those issues by restarting the machine, but they always come back.
Que hace su trabajo perfectamente
Excelente artculo, lo volvera a comprar, calidad perfecta, y calidad profesional.
No puedo decir nada malo de este artculo, que es un poco caro, bueno, la calidad de paga.
Great buy!
-Good value.
-Easy to install (make sure its in a x16 slot)
-Avermedia app does all the driver and stuff for you so download it
-seemlessly worked with obs and slobs
-ps4 pro 4k footage as is, no lag no downgrade,best piece of hardware.
Experimental, yet versatile
Okay here we go.
I upgraded from my Elgato 60, mainly in order to capture hdr from my PC. Than, while I was ordering this, Nvidia launched a firmware update allowing hdr recording support. Although, this was purely for recording gameplay only (no webcam, no othet elements), and streaming was still out of the question, not to mention the video you get was not nearly hdr10.
So, with all that said, once I got my hands on this fun device, I realized how unoptimized HDR recording codec was by nature. While many people may argue that capture cards are not the future of pc game streaming, I still think owning this device allows a lot of options unavailable otherwise. The tone-mapping feature that does its best to record hdr as sdr with little quality drops is good at vibrant hues, but saturation can be questionable at times. While I think there are better cheaper avenues to record HDR PC Games, I think this item is a must have for people experimenting with HDR streaming, and an easy but for people with 2 PC.
I did avoid answering technical questions because I don’t think I’m capable of doing so, but I can say that the wide screen support (2560 x1080 for me) is quite adaptive. I was able to play a game without widescreen support (SEKIRO) on a widescreen monitor, while rescaling the image to 1920 x 1080 on the capture card without any external software (HDR 60FPS). Very impressive. It’s not a plug and play card if you plan to record PC so do t expect any miracles without trying. Learning what it’s capable of doing can be fun, but probably frustrating for most people.
And for those wondering, mounting this card on the pcle x8 slot created no delay or lag for my system, and did not interfere with my gpu performance, also mounted on pcle x8.
Da ich schon eine elgato 4k60 Pro hatte (Revision 1 und 2) und mit beiden probleme hatte meinen 240 Hz monitor mit passtrough zu betreiben, kann ich hier wohl ein sehr gutes Review abgeben.
Bei der Elgato 4k60 Pro Mk.1 war immer das problem, dass sich die einstellungen der 4k Capture Utility und somit auch die eingestellten settings nicht bei jedem PC start (Dual PC Setup) abgespeichert haben.
Bei der Mk.2 war das problem noch grer, da die Capture Card jedes mal die settings zurck gesetzt hat.
Nach langem weigern habe ich mich dazu entschieden die Avermedia Live Gamer (Pro? bin mir gerade nicht sicher wie der name ist) zu kaufen und zack, es gibt kein problem. Firmware/Software auf dem zweit PC installieren und einmal die Einstellungen machen und das ding funktioniert ohne probleme.
Einziges manko ist, dass die karte wenn mehrere Bildschirme angeschlossen sind nicht das BIOS anzeigt, sondern das dieses auf dem zweit Bildschirm angezeigt wird.
Das ist aber meckern auf hohem Niveau und ist fr den alltglichen Betrieb komplett irrelevant, es sei denn man mchte ein video machen in dem man das bios zeigt, wobei es da ja die mglichkeit gibt nur einen Bildschirm anzuschlieen.
Alles in allem bin ich von der Qualitt und Funktionalitt berzeugt.
DCHP Lsst sich deaktivieren.
XRGB/4:4:4 Support in OBS.
240 Hz ohne jegliches meckern.
Kein spontanes resetten der settings.
RGB Beleuchtung fr 10% mehr Performance (Kleiner witz am Rande)
Einfaches setup der software. (Sollte fr jeden dulli verstndlich sein)
Wird dank integrierten heatsink nicht so warm wie die Konkurrenz und sollte daher auch lnger halten.
Sobald es irgendwann finanzierbar ist auf 1440p240hz oder noch hher zu gehen und eine neue Capture Karte von Avermedia auf dem markt ist, werde ich mir diese definitiv wieder holen.
Top.
Una maravilla de capturadora
Estuve usando una avermedia LGP Lite por aos, y la verdad es que grababa gameplays genial, de forma muy muy sencilla.
Pero con la PS5 se me qued pequea, debido a la ausencia de 4K. Fue entonces cuando me embarqu en la bsqueda de una capturadora 4K. Sin duda alguna recomiendo usar capturadoras de PCi, de las de conectar dentro del pc. Prob la avermedia 4k que parece un toblerone, iba bien pero daba algn q otro problema. Prob la HD60+ de elgato y sin duda fue la peor: problemas por todos lados, una pesadilla.
Con esta por fin puedo jugar, grabar o transmitir de forma super sencilla, y lo mejor es q es conectar y empezar a grabar. Sin problemas de configuracin ni nada, como debe ser.
Si buscas una buena capturadora, te aconsejo esta encarecidamente.
After trying numerous Elgato products, this one was the one that works best! Love it.

It's working extremely fine for my PS4 and OnePlus 8 pro. A bit of hiccups during setup but at last I'm manage to set everything up. Great product with reasonable price

UPDATED: 20 August 2020 (one more 20 and we have a cop drama)
Pro Tip, do NOT install the Windows Insider Preview builds. You WILL very likely have issues with capture cards, video input devices, and some multi-threaded applications (like OBS/Streamlabs OBS)
I had to fully reinstall windows using the Media Creation tool, and set up a thumb drive, and then reinstalled fresh.
As soon as Windows finished reinstalling fresh, I installed Streamlabs OBS and OBS Studio, Avermedia’s setup software, drivers, RECCentral, and bam, everything works.
OBS and SLOBS both have a “canvas” screen size which defaults to your stream PC’s screen res.
PS, if you’re trying to set up 4K in OBS/SLOBS make sure you type in the custom resolution. (e.g. 3840×2160) in the Base and Output areas of the Video page in the Settings.
______________________________________
So, this thing did not want to be detected by my ASROCK Taichi x99 mobo. I slapped it into an Aorus TRX40 Master and it was detected immediately. I moved it back to the ASROCK board and boom instantly detected suddenly. Neat. So that killed most of my evening.
The next day I spent much of the day trying to get OBS to detect and run the card. Every time I made even the slightest adjustment to any of my video input devices, they all froze immediately. OBS Studio and Streamlabs OBS (SLOBS) both had the same issues with video input devices, which PROBABLY have nothing to do with the Avermedia hardware.
I loaded up my old XSPLIT account, installed XSPLIT, added the Avermedia Live Gamer 4K and it worked flawlessly. Set it to 4K for recording and streaming, 6000 bitrate (averages 3500 though) and boom, instantly worked, flawless streaming and recording.
So I would give this 5 stars, except I’m STILL waiting to hear back from their support staff, and it’s been over 24 hours since I filled out a ticket and left a VM.
Soon as I hear back with some troubleshooting with OBS I’ll update the review.
I would rather use OBS considering most of my scenes / profiles are set up there, not to mention most of my Stream Deck actions are there as well, etc.
Work as advertised. Took out of the box, plugged it, and no hassle at all. Easy to use.

Seamless to Setup
I am someone who has been using extrnal capture cards for awhile, but I always seemed to have some nagging issues with those. Now this could be because I was on an older computer at the time, but even after buying a brand new rig, I still seemed to have issues. So I decided to get good and try out an internal capture card for a change. I installed the card with no issues and hooked everything up. On power, I was greeted with a the card blinking red which was a sign of some kind of hardware failure. After going their website, I found the latest drivers. Once the drivers finished installing, the capture card lit up and starting rotating colors which was a positive sign.
At that point it was like flipping a switch. Everything lit up and I immediately went into streamlabs to test out. It was absolutely perfect. So I am writing this review about 24 hours after receiving. I’ll update should anything go south, but so far this has been smoother than any experience with a capture card I have had in general. I am always nervous about installing internal devices as there is 101 things that can go wrong and I feared the worse. Capture freezes, hardware failure, some silly windows update, anti-virus, some other application preventing the device from working, etc.
Glad to see I can relax and enjoy streaming again.
This was so simple
I didn’t believe some of the other reviews, that it just works, but it does. I have a 21:9 gaming monitor, and I spent two weeks fighting with getting the elgato 4kpro60 to reliably work and it never did. I ordered this, and the hardest part was waiting for it to arrive. Once it got here, I put it in, plugged up the in and out hdmi cables, and boom, 21:9 no problem. 60fps, yea that’s there to.
If you’re doing anything at a high resolution, do yourself a favor, and check out this card!

I’ve had this card for a year+ now. This is the best card to future proof your content creation goals. Streaming, video capture, game capture. This card works like a charm with no issues. 144hz 1440p pass-through or the 240hz 1080p pass through work like a charm. This is an easy plug and play devices with drivers installation. One thing I would say is that I wish it could also capture audio at the same time. Which it can’t, but there are other solutions to get around that.
I recommend anyone who wants to use this to capture high quality streams/video to buy this. They beat Elgato to the punch on this one for sure.
Einfach Perfefk
Endlich ist es mglich ein 2-PC Setup zu betreiben, bei dem ohne Performance Verlust und ohne Beeintrchtigung des 2560x1440x144 Hz Gaming Monitors das gleiche Bild an den 2. PC abgegeben werden kann zur Lokalen Aufnahme oder Verwendung in OBS als Live-Stream.
Diese Capture Card ist der Wahnsinn fr jeden, der gerne auf seinem Gaming Rechner mit hohen Bildwiederholraten spielen mchte und dennoch das Videomaterial an den Zweit-PC snden.
Great card for the price. No issues at all streaming to twitch

Prestazioni allo stato PURO!
Ho atteso qualche mesetto per valutarne le qualit. Inizio dalla fine … 10 e lode! Un prodotto veramente valido che ti offre l’alta qualit del video ( fino a 4K ) reale . Il mio utilizzo per lo streaming a 2K a 144Hz, ma supporta anche full hd a 240Hz e 4K a 60Hz. L’installazione e la configurazione sono state facilissime. Il prodotto anche bello da vedere se hai il case con finestra laterale. il prodotto ha pertanto soddisfatto le mie aspettative.
Live Gamer 4K does exactly that, product works great once I found the Driver. But I did have a curiosity which I don’t quite understand. They threw in a media editor which doesn’t support 4K. (Just baffled, it is like a grown adult bought a motor bike and they threw in a kid helmet) Either way appreciated and everything works great. Looking forward to the next generation. Thanks agai

Excelente capturadora
Captura con excelente calidad y es muy fcil de instalar. Esta es la versin pci express, prefiero que sea as para no tener mas trastos y asi se refrigera mejor con la ventilacin del pc. El software me ha encantado, es muy fcil de usar, hay que descargarlo, dentro no hay ningun cd. Puede capturar a traves de HDMI y puede capturar la pantalla del PC y aadirle la webcam y alguna foto, tipo el OBS. Me ha gustado mucho en general todo.
FYI – I bought this for 180 in Feb 2020)
For a 2PC stream/capture set up, this is great. Pretty much the Elagto 4k60 Pro Mk2’s competitor.
Before going further, remember that it is YOUR reponsibility to check your PC can run this. You’ll need a mid-tier PC to be able to encode decently anyway – don’t expect to run this on any old thing. It is a PCIE card, and you’ll need a free x16 or x4 slot on your motherboard.
Installation:
Pretty easy – Mine slotted into the x16 slot on my motherboard just fine, but it was a tight squeeze under my GPU! Then you just fasten it to the exterior of your case.
Connect your PC/Console/Video device to the left slot, and use the optional pass-through to connect to your display if needed (this is mainly for consoles or monitors without DisplayPort). (I connect my gaming PC to my monitor via DP, and to the capture card via HDMI, so I don’t use the passthrough slot.) Set your Windows/NVIDIA control panel to duplicate you display to the capture card. Then you just download the software form Avermedia’s site. Use the ReCentral software to program the RGB as well as the encoding settings. You can then use ReCentral or other software such as OBS, to capture gameplay.
Functionality
Modes: 4k up to 60Hz, 1440p up to 144Hz, 1080p up to 240Hz. You can record at 60fps whilst playing at up to 240!
Supports HDR if you use that
Can go way over 100k bitrate if you want (though.. why?!)
RGB lighting can be changed in ReCental, but it seems like an afterthought – it’s not really customisable – can’t even just change it to a solid colour. Just off, or cycling through colours.
Quality
It does take a bit of tweaking to get the performance just right.
Recording 144fps gameplay is taxing, so most systems will struggle with the bitrates required. Best to stick to 60 anyway, as YouTube/other stereaming sites can’t support over 60fps (unless you do some fancy manipualtion)
Quality is very good – colours look nice (and you can adjust these if needed)
Performance is smooth – no frame drops when I used reasonable encoder settings.
Comapred to NDI (the no capture card 2 PC method), it is better, but don’t expect a monumental change. NDI actually holds up very well, and if you’re happy with that, then don’t bother with the 180 on this!
See this video to see the capture card in action, and comapred to NDI at 1440p60: search “NDI vs Capture Card. How it looks in 4 Games” — Change the quality to the max your device will support! —
Overall, I do recommend this product, but WAIT FOR A GOOD DEAL! I wouldn’t have paid more than the 180 I did, especially when NDI is a viable alternative. Feel free to comment any questions!
Only works in powerful DESKTOP PC
This is one of the best 4K capture cards on the market at the moment. Just know that it doesn’t use USB and instead plugs into a PCIe slot on your desktop PC’s motherboard. You will also need a powerful CPU and GPU to encode 4K.
bought this product to help aleviate the need for using cloning/mirroring of main display for my 2 pc streaming setup, had in issue with EDID between my monitor and the capture card but after a brief conversation on /r/avermedia the rnd and tech support team immediatley started working on a custom driver for me to solve the issue and we did solve it, so now im running raw 144hz in and out of the capture card no screen tearing no visual anomalys whatsoever and no need to clone displays or use 2 instances of obs, i highly recommend this card to anybody trying to get a 144Hz 2 pc streaming setup going with no hassle or fidling around with windows scaling or refresh rate locking in certain games thats caused from cloning your displays!!!

Easy 1080p 240 pass through, used for a Dual PC stream on twitch and works flawlessly once you have your audio configured properly and if you know what your doing its almost plug and play after you set up your drivers.

Well
Well.. Good product nice to 4k streaming
But my content is poor…
I wanna debut youtube
But now just only 10… Haha
WOrks perfectly was pretty much plug and play for me. Interface was fine for their given software and no problem at all using obs.

This is the only card you need to concern yourself with
I tried all video cards and even the ripsaw hd by razer. I had countless problems wit the razer ripsaw. It would never pick up my 4k resolution.
So I returned it and used the refund to buy this card and I do not regret my decision at all.
Just plop it into a pci slot (i did a x16 one), install the drivers, and you can set it up with streamlabs or the avermedia software.
What I love is that I can game on my computer screen with my consoles with absolutely no lag.
If you’re buying this card now then you are preparing for the future. This card will most certainly support the xbox next and playstation 5.
Streaming in 4k isa kind of hard to do but when Twitch or Youtube catch up this card will be able to dole it out.
Another cool plus is that your computer will become a colorful showcase via the extra RGB.
NOTE! Do not fret if the card keeps blinking red, just install the drivers!
Working perfectly, lacking windows insider support.
Had some teething problems with this card due to incompatibility with Microsoft newer insider builds. Noting that this is one their end rather than AverMedias’, upon working with their tech support and engineers we fixed this issue and the card runs perfectly fine on the latest stable build of Win 10.
Perfect quality and sound following this fix, well worth the cost and very much gives even the 4k60pro form Elgato a run for its money.
Definitely recommended.
Best out there
Simple to install – Just download the software and plug the card in. Works perfectly with OBS, as well as their own recording software. Most capture cards i’ve seen have a noticeable delay – output has no noticeable delay, compared to directly plugging it into the TV
As a person who wants to stream video game consoles in the highest quality with the least amount of lag... the AVerMedia Live Gamer 4K HDR 60 FPS is simply the best. Amazon Prime also offered the best price. Other brands just cant come close.

Preis / Leistung unschlagba
Habe die AverMedia Live Gamer 4K in meinem Streaming-Pc im Einsatz und bin bis jetzt voll zufrieden. Alles luft super flssig in einer sehr guten Bildqualitt.
Meiner Meinung nach ist die AverMedia Live Gamer 4K in Sachen Preis / Leistung um ein vieles besser als das Konkurrenzprodukt von Elgato.
great capture card and it comes with its own software
great capture card and it comes with its own software
Xbox One X and 4k
Pros:
– Cheaper and more reliable than my Elgato HD60S for recognizing the stream wtihout needing restart.
– Works well, simple to use and install
Cons:
– Does not present itself as a 4k capable device to the xbox, so unable to use card standalone without 4k capable device behind it
– Not a lot of community support topics out there yet revolving around xbox streaming with this device ye
It does what I bought it for and after working out a few bugs getting the program to install and work without crashing, it finally works flawlessly and works great. The beta update to the program for whatever reason makes it not work for me so I stuck with the previous stable version. I do wish there was more than one input on it for multiple sources but this does the job for what I’m doing for now. The interface could use a little tweaking to make it more user friendly but it’s not bad the way it is. I think the new release changes some of that but like I said, the beta version doesn’t work for me so I’ll have to wait until there is a new stable version before I can see.

Best card for the price range. Captures pure 4k60p HDR or non-HDR footage. Also can capture 1080p240, 1080p144, 1440p144, etc at INSANE bitrate quality. Works will all third part software and included software isn’t bad either. Highly recommended for the professional streamer who wants professional looking streams and recordings. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Full HD 60fps aufnehmen und WQHD 120fps zocken!
Ich bin Hobbymig YouTuber und habe lange nach einer Mglichkeit gesucht, vernnftig in hheren Auflsungen und mit hherer Bildwiederholungsrate spielen zu knnen und das ganze in Full HD 60fps aufzunehmen/ zu streamen.
Sobald man mit mehr als 60 FPS spielen mchte, stt man nmlich auf eine ganze Menge an Problemen. Die Lsung fr mein Problem ist jetzt letzen endes ein 2 PC setup, mit der AverMedia GC573 Live Gamer 4K. Jetzt klappt alles perfekt. Ich habe im laufe der Zeit auch einige Elgato Produkte getestet, aber selbst die Elgato 4K 60 Pro kann nicht das selbe leisten, was die wesentlich gnstigere AverMedia kann.
Getestet habe ich bislang Konsolen der neusten Gerneartion in Full HD @ 60 und PC Gameplay in WQHD @ 120Hz aufzunehmen. Mit 4K @ 60Hz habe ich noch keine Erfahrung gemacht.
WORKS GREAT WITH 240HZ DISPLAYS AND A HDMI 2.0 MONITOR
If your trying to stream or record at 240hz AND have a HDMI 2.0 your in for a treat! DO NOT get the Elgato capture cards if you want to capture 240hz as the Elgato cards cause major screen tearing at high HZ. THE ONLY thing you must do to make sure its working is have it plugged into a modern PCI-E slot which is compatible and download the software ( to get the capture card recognised by my streaming PC i also had to manually download drivers from their website which had me worried to begin with haha)
Gekauft nachdem die elgato hd60 pro gescheitert ist. Siehe meine sehr ausfhrliche Rezension bei elgato (dort mit einem Stern bewertet).
Zu der capture Card:
Geliefert wurden die capture Card, hdmi 2.0 Kabel, ein serial-Key fr das Videobearbeitungsprogramm ( kostet normalerweise um die 50 Euro) , kleine Bedienungsanleitung.
Folgendes Sehr wichtig!!! Steht nirgends und auch nicht in diversen inkompletten Tutorials im netz (fr Dual pc).
Die elgato hd60 pro kann nur 2 k , das heit das euer Gaming Monitor auf 2 k ebenfalls begrenzt wird beim zocken!!!!! Ich habe 3 k Monitor und mchte selbstverstndlich mit 3 k Auflsung spielen. Das geht mit elgato 60hd pro nicht.
Die avermedia 4K capture Card kann das aber sehr wohl, und zwar 2k mit bis zu 240 hz, 3k mit 144 hz und 4K mit 60 hz. Die Leute im netz und Tutorials sagten immer (ja man muss sich im netz fortbilden, da es gar keine brauchbare Anleitung vom Hersteller gibt) : wofr brauchst du eine 4K capture Card wenn du nur mit 720p streamen willst? Ja weil dein Gaming Monitor kastriert wird auf 2 k beim zocken!!!!! Deshalb!
Ich habe 2 pc’s.
Gaming und Streaming versteht sich.
Eingebaut in Streaming pc. Hdmi Kabel in die grafikkarte und von dort in hdmi in Anschluss der capture Card. Aus der Grafikkarte im Gaming pc ein Display Port Kabel zum Gaming Monitor. So , Hardware ist schon angeschlossen. Installieren des Treiber (von der Homepage der avermedia) auf dem Streaming pc. Dann Streaming pc Neustart .
Dann am Gaming pc Nvidia Steuerung auf, hier auf mehrere Anzeigen einrichten gehen.
Dann Gaming Monitor und die capture Card klonen (bitte im netz schauen wie es geht, ist nicht schwer). Dann eine Auflsung einstellen, diese in meinem Fall 3k 144 hz. Und schon kommt das Bild auf dem Streaming Monitor in der capture Card Software. Ich habe jedoch obs Studio auf dem Streaming pc installiert. Dann die capture Card als Aufnahmegert/Quelle auswhlen. Ihr startet dann immer nur das OBS. Die Software des avermedia NICHT noch mal dazu! Nur obs. Dann wollte ich das der Sound vom Gaming pc ( Team speak, Mikrofon und gamesound) zum Streaming pc bzw obs ankommt. Dies ist tricky, weil Windows nur eine Audiospur weiterleitet, man kann natrlich noch Mikrofon durch die abhrfunktion implementieren, aber in diesem Fall begleitet euch ein stndiges krasses rauschen weil Mikro permanent auf on ist. Teamspeak wre dann auch nicht dabei. Also keine Lsung. Dann die Variante mit: alles auf Streaming pc installieren und gameplay abhren produziert ein Sound Delay beim zocken!! Geht gar nicht!!
So, meine Lsung war:
Audio Programm als Freeware : voicemeeter Potato auf BEIDEN pc’s installieren! Auf Gaming pc dann die 3x Audiospuren zu einem digitalen Kabel zusammenfhren (videoanleitung, zumindest teilweise gibts im netz) und dann das fr Windows jetzt als einzige Audiospur erkannte virtuelle Kabel am Streaming pc abgreifen ( in obs und in soundeinstellungen des Windows auswhlen). Das funktioniert perfekt. Ich habe es auch ber Klinke und Audio Kabel von pc zu pc versucht: ein krasses knarzen und Rauschen, da analoge Verbindung und man einen entstrer braucht. Mischpult kaufen usw alles unntige Geldverschwendung.
Habe die Karte paar Tage, bisher gar KEINE Probleme damit. Nicht mal die angeblich instabile Software.
Das alles steht nirgendwo erklrt, das ist die Essenz von mehreren Tagen Recherche noch vor dem Kauf der capture Karten (erst die elgato und dann die avermedia, wobei nur die letzte wirklich so funktioniert dass man es wirklich nutzen kann).
Vielleicht bringt es euch was.

Kurze Anmerkung, da ich normalerweise nicht so lange Rezensionen schreibe: wenn Ihnen der ausfhrliche Test hilft Ihre Kaufentscheidung zu treffen bzw. zu berdenken wrde ich mich ber einen Klick auf “ntzlich” freuen. So bekomme ich ein direktes Feedback und kann entscheiden, ob der Zeitaufwand fr so lange Rezensionen wirklich sinnvoll ist. Vielen lieben Dank.
La qualité d'image est très belle

Upgraded from elgato hd pro. I’ve had so many less issues with this thing. And also the color seems to be more accurate without having to mess with color correction. Super low latency and easy to install and get running.

It was easy to install and use with a third party program, now it does some with software that you can use but i decided not to use but all in all if you stream, GET IT!!

As a long time user of elgato capture products since the very first game capture unit I decided to start looking elsewhere as without fail and after almost every update I’d run into issues with audio skipping and choppy frame rates in both capture mode and streaming. The AverMedia Live Gamer 4K is a godsend! So far I’ve had NO issues, software is much easier to use than elgato’s and it also works well with the Streamlabs version of OBS. No audio skipping and passthrough for gameplay is perfect! I highly recommend!
Works great, Fair price.
Worked great with a simple set up. The software leaves a little to be desired but gets the job done.
Works great and the RGB is a nice touch.
I realize that this is an HDMI capture card, so it kinda goes without saying that you can’t capture a lot of retro game systems, but if you are using an OSSC, be aware that you may have some issues getting it to work with this card. I typically use 5x scaling on the OSSC, but that doesn’t seem to be compatible with this card. Maybe I could get it to work, but the Elgato HD60 Pro already works perfectly with it, so if the OSSC is your main concern, get that instead. I’d bet this card works fine with the Framemeister, though.
Having said that, for everything modern, this capture card is fantastic. My primary interest in this card was to allow me to play PS4 Pro games on my TV in 4K HDR with surround sound while still streaming at 720p SDR with stereo sound. The HD60 Pro I was using not only required me to switch to 1080p SDR, but it also doesn’t downmix the surround sound, so the capture just sounds wrong. The center channel was completely missing, so viewers wouldn’t get dialog or a lot of other critical sounds. No more! The Avermedia takes the 4K HDR input and converts it into a 4K SDR signal as well as downmixing the surround audio into stereo. All I have to do is downscale it to 720p in OBS and it’s good to go! Easy setup, no hassle to use, and the quality is excellent. The OSSC incompatibilities are my only gripe with this card, but I still have the Elgato for that, so whatever.
I love this capture card. I use it to capture my PS4 gameplay on my gaming/streaming rig, and it works like a dream. It takes a little setup to get working, but once you get it working it works amazingly. The picture clarity is fantastic, and there is no delay at all from the output to OBS or AVER Media (the program that comes with it). I definitely recommend this capture card for anyone interested in streaming!

Klasse Grabbing-Karte mit einer kleinen Macke
Dieser interne Video-Grabber ist klasse, vor allem fr Spieler. Inhalte von Xbox One und Playstation 4 lassen sich in Echtzeit und bester Qualitt aufnehmen – in 4K und HDR. Die Latenz ist dabei so gering, dass man viele Spiele sogar auf dem Aufnahmebildschirm spielen kann. Besser ist natrlich noch immer, das durchgeschliffene Bild am TV zu nutzen. Schade nur, dass die mitgelieferte Software etwas sprlich ausfllt. Das Aufnahmetool ist schon ok, aber das mitgelieferte Schnittprogramm ist ein Witz! WIll man dort HDR-Inhalte importieren, so soll man eine Extra-Lizenz von 70 Euro oder ein Abo bezahlen. Na herzlichen Dank!
Exceeded my expectations!
The included software from Cyberlink is an excellent extra and compatible with my video editing.
Do not hesitate to buy. Best regards, Steve (Retired Military Veteran)
Optimales Highend Produkt für den Consumer Bereich
Alles was nicht im Bereich TV Studio war mit 4K, 60Hz und HDR war die AverMedia Karte.
Die Einrichtung ist einfach, auch wenn man nach der Software selbst googeln muss.
Nach der Einrichtung ist sie mit jeglicher gngier Streaming / Capture Software nutzbar. Lediglich die Software braucht hier Feintuning, da viele nicht auf diese Leistung ausgelegt sind.
Wer zwei Grafikkarten betreibt, wird hier sein Mainboard an die Grenzen bringen, daher kann es unter voller Last zum stottern kommen. Allerdings muss man dazu alle drei Gerte parallel auslasten.
Die Dezente Beleuchtung ist auch abschaltbar.
Einziges wirkliches Manko, ist das man die HDCP Funktion der dazugehrigen ReStream Software manuell umschalten muss.

Muy buena calidad. 100% compatible con el OSSC
De las mejores capturadoras que hay en el mercado a este precio, lo unico negativo que le puedo sacar es que solo puedas elegir h.264 o h.265 como formato, ya que aunque la calidad de imagen es muy buena, se pueden observar algunos artefactos si nos paramos a mirarla minuciosamente, aunque nada que pueda notarse en mitad de un stream, o con la compresion posterior que ofrecen paginas como youtube. Si te interesa una capturadora para usar con el OSSC, esta es la mas compatible que vas a encontrar. Muy recomendable.
Works amazingly with OBS & threadripper for my stream. Make sure you download capture card utility program to change refresh rate of the card to match your setup.

Same Features as Elgato $100 Less
Generally I do not write reviews for most things I buy on Amazon…but when I have a really positive experience I will take the time to do so because I want others to know that this is a safe product to purchase and I personally have had a great experience with it.
First, I have used an Elgato HD60 Pro for a few years and they make a great product. Its always worked perfectly so long as I game on a 1080P monitor. My one issue though has been that this card could not deal with my 1440P/144Hz monitor making it difficult to stream without making compromises. When the 4K cards started showing up on the market I was sure that Elgato would come to the rescue and of course they did. At $400 its probably worth it. BUT then I ran into this gem. The Avermedia LiveGamer 4K at $299! I have had an Avermedia card in the past that I returned for poor performance so I was a little nervous about picking up this card. But for $100 off I figured I could always return it if it didn’t perform well. I’m so glad I made this decision.
The LiveGamer 4K works perfectly and I can finally have lag free 1440P 144Hz gaming while dumping all of the output to my streaming PC and right through the game capture. The LiveGamer 4K handles everything perfectly, doesn’t get overly warm, and just works. I didn’t even install anything but the drivers for the card (apparently you used to have to install their software to get the drivers but it is now available as a separate driver only download). I just dont see a reason to spend an extra $100 for the Elgato…at least in my setup.
The LiveGamer 4K came well packaged, and included the HDMI 2.0 cable that I needed….though if your gaming PC and your streaming PC are far apart you’ll need to make sure to pick up a longer one that meets that specification. The card was extremely simple to install and the drivers were easily available on Avermedia’s site. I was up and running in no more than 5 minutes. There are no “settings” to make. Just pop open OBS or whatever you’re using and it just shows up as a video capture device. On the Gaming PC I simply went into NVidia Control Panel and made sure the capture card showed 2560×1440 @ 144Hz and duplicated from the main display….that was literally it.
So if you’re in my situation looking for a way to send your gaming PC video to your streaming/recording PC at full resolution and frame-rate then this card will do the trick.
Die Kiste wird nicht geschont. Durchgehender Betrieb mit einem 3840×1080 Ultrawide, dazu sind stndige Umschaltereien auf 1080p und andere Gerte (PS4, Switch). Bisher nie abgestrzt, oder sonstige Probleme bereitet. von 144hz 1080p auf 120hz 1080p auf 2160p 60hz, keine Probleme. Software wird nicht genutzt, OBS kommt soweit klar.
I stream on Mixer and Twitch, I used to use the Elgato usb 3.0 unit and wanted to upgrade so I could get a 4k picture this was cheaper than the 4k Elgato unit. Best value right here with the AverMedia

A capture card in 2019
I bought a custom made PC and this is my first PCIE capture card.
The software looks dated but very functional. It captures your video with the game’s audio track, and your voice is saved in a separate track. The latency for the PCIE card is barely noticeable; it’s like playing 4K games on a cheap 4K TV — latency becomes visible when you’re playing some rhythm games. The good news is that you can pass-thru 4k/60/HDR to a display or TV.
By the way, it’s my first time installing something to a PC (I’m a Mac person) and the installation is very easy. I didn’t read any instructions or manuals, just put it in the right slot, download the driver/software and you’re ready to go.
My GF got me one of these from another retailer,
First of all its amazing, Ive been playing about with it today capturing my daughters switch. It works with OBS and RecCentral 4. before I figured out what i was doing i was playing it through obs, no lag at all, same with the Avermedia Rec software. Really easy to instal. I installed mine in a Ryzen 1800x x370 Gigabyte Gaming 5 motherboard. No droped frames and the Cpu was sitting at 3.4% no dropped frames really really impressed cant wait to hook it upto my ps4 pro.
Neat card, easy to install and both XSplit and OBS picked it up as a video source immediately. I can’t compare it to the Elgato 4K but I found the initial software setup of this LG4K a little more fickle than the elgato HD60 pro.
The good:
Fab capture image quality
Easy to install
Played nice with all existing capture software I had
The -1 star things:
Its all software related, the capture card itself is 5*
Was a bit flaky until I applied the firmware update, this was prompted during install but failed half way through. I assume because the installer tried to access the card during update. After reboot and looking for the updater, I was able to run it again as administrator and it worked fine.
The RGB lighting seems weird, the only options I can see is 3 different patterns, I don’t see where to set a solid colour and so I don’t understand the logic of even having it. I’m sure it will come in a software update.
It’s too quick to complain about “no signal”, when the graphic card is changing resolutions, or indeed just initialising DirectX. They should just pause the last good frame or black screen for 2 seconds and then go “no signal”. It’s really annoying during streams, I have one game that does it 4 times just going from menu to main game. The Elgato HD60 Pro never does it once by comparison.
These are purely software issues, they are clearly proud of their device and want it to be the most important thing. AverMedia just have to remember they are part of an ecosystem and need to think more like an end user.
Use it for game capture.Dose not work on gigabyte motherboard will not boot or use it's keys to start recording, and stoping when you do cabling after starting without card!

Purchased this unit because it has 4K60 pass-through that I needed for both my console and PC depending on which one I'm using to stream with. The RECental software that you can download is.... alright. I chose to use Streamlabs OBS though and haven't looked back. I give it a 4/5 due to the RECentral software. I stream 1080p60 to Facebook and Twitch with an i7 7700k and I see around 6-18% CPU load. Those with newer Ryzen and 8th gen+ Intel multi-core processors should be able to play/stream at the same time on the PC and easily stream if using just a console. I recommend this product over the El Gato due to simple plug and play and access to reputable streaming services while saving a considerable amount of money.

Super pleased with this capture card. Virtually no set up, just install the card, download software and go. Made my dual PC stream set up a breeze. I would say this a better alternative to the Elgato 4k/60 in every aspec

I like to start off by saying this is an amazing piece of hardware and I can't be more pleased with the performance of this monster lol. I never thought I'd see the day where you can stream and record 4K(smoothly), not to mention being able to accomplish this using the HDR Feature as well. I am very happy about this product and would recommend this to ANYBODY who needs a solid 4k capture card and Avermedia is the best I've seen yet! Elgato 4k capture card is ok also, but nothing compares to this bad boy here!

After using this for about a month, I have gained a bit of insight about the difference of the Elgato 4kpro and the Avermedia GC573 Live Gamer 4k. One major difference is there are LESS dropped frames. The captured video within both the Avermedia software AND OBS have been buttery smooth compared to the Elgato.
Great capture device however it does have issues with HDCP sometimes and I have reset my Xbox and PC. Virtually zero lag since it’s a PCI capture device. I would recommend a 4TB or higher HDD. Even in 1080p recording the files are quite large.
Es increble lo que ofrece por este precio. Tena la tarjeta de Elgato 4K con HDR que vale 400, y me daba mil problemas, y es que no puede mantener una conexin HDR constante. Para colmo esa tarjeta no sabe manejar bien el color SDR, as que cualquier juego se te ver FATAL en el streaming.
La de Avermedia mantiene constantemente la conexin, simplemente FUNCIONA, adems que no requiere configuracin prvia alguna, y su SDR (HDR filtrado para el streaming) es sublime y se ve mejor que el juego original, incluso.
El precio es lo que remata, y por eso la recomiendo a esos streamers que quieran jugar a 4K HDR y stremear a la vez; funciona, no da problemas y es el mejor precio.
can be used in x16 slots
Bought this thinking it was strictly for x4 pci slots. However you may use it on a x16 slot but make sure your motherboard supports x4 speeds on x16 slots.
Other then that this is a great capture card, works for me without drivers, captures 4k60 in OBS, and even has RGB, what else could you ask for?
I just installed the driver + RECentral, restarted the PC and it worked right away, great stuff! I can record 4K60 and 1080p240 totally fine with an i7 8700 and a GTX 1080 ti (Worked totally fine on recording Consoles and separate computers, just make sure that what you want to record supports HDMI 2.0 for 4K60), RECentral does the job just fine now (I used to hate it back when I first got my Live Gamer Extreme with RECentral 2)

If you're a streamer using a 4k monitor or tv. Or a YouTube content creator, buy this! The quality of video was so much better than my old elgato hd60. Its worth it and best 4k card on the market!

Working perfectly so far. I did have a problem with it capturing my wide screen video input (I was running my games at 2560x1080 since I have a widescreen gaming monitor), but come to find out it was a problem with my NVidia Graphic Card drivers. Once I rolled the drivers back to one version previous to the newest, it captured perfectly.

Handles up to 4k, I use 1440p and at 60fps sometimes it feels a little laggy in OBS while streaming, but no one watching notices so all good. I'd love it if the RGB was off always sometimes it forgets its settings.

I bought this capture card because I started Twitch streaming full time. The problem I had was I game at 1440p 144hz but I wanted to stream at 720p 60fps. I had the choice of this card or the Elgato. Since this card was $100 cheaper than the Elgato, I thought I’d give it a try.
After installing the card, then installing the driver from AverMedia’s website, I hooked up the 1440p monitor to the displayport then ran an HDMI 2.1 from the video card to the Live Gamer 4k in my streaming PC. I went into display settings and mirrored monitor 1 (1440p) to monitor 2 (AverMedia card).
Thats it. It works perfectly. In OBS I chose the AverMedia card as the video source, and it immediately picked it up.
This thing is great since it lets me play at 1440p 144hz, but still stream at a resolution and frame rate that many people can view.
Check out the quality for yourself. I stream Mon-Thur 11am-5pm EST at twitch.tv/kj_wicked
Installed it, downloaded drivers/software. Works like a charm with StreamLabs OBS and sound works coming through OBS from gaming rig. Stream box is Ryzen 7 1800, with amd r9 390 and I have no problems with it.

Please do not let the other reviews fool you. They have bought the lower end capture cards and does not indicate the true picture (no pun intended). This is my first review of anything I have ever bought on amazon and I have to say, it is worth it. This capture card is easily the best capture card on the market and it’s almost 100 cheaper than the competition.
The quality of the capture is crisp, vivid, and smooth. You are able to use ReCentral or any other third party capture software that supports directshow. I cannot recommend this enough.
Easy to set up and easy to capture.
Life saver really.
Pros:
Simple setup, it is not plug and play but it’s easy to install with their Recentral software. The loop through pass through is great for up to 240hz HDMI 2.0 1080p. I am personally using this for my high refresh rate monitor because it’s just wiser to free up all those frames through a capture rig and keep your gaming rig focused on gaming.
The RGB feature is nice but could use a little tweaking to work with aura mode for motherboards that run in sync with graphics cards.
Price: this is the best/cheapest reasonable capture card on the market for 4K/60 1440/144 1080/240. You cant beat this. It’s litterally beating the Elgato and Elgato has nothing but issues.
Cons: The RGB needs tweaking. Maybe some software update where it syncs up with your motherboards color modes and gpus. But that’s just a cosmetic issue.

High quality 4k hdr videos and any resolution and framerate under that. This card can literally pretty much do it all.
