Verdict
AGPTEK USB 3.0 HDMI Video Capture Card
3 / 10 Expert Rating
A rock-bottom budget clone.
AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra 2.1

A genuinely strong 4K60-capture, 4K144-passthrough card let down only by marketing copy that leads with the passthrough number — read the fine print, and it holds up well against pricier internal alternatives.
