Verdict

AVerMedia Streamer Ultra

5 / 10 Expert Rating

A plausible budget pick for live-commerce streamers who don't need more than 4K30 capture, but it's untested by independent reviewers and clearly the junior sibling to the GC535.

Elgato Game Capture HD60

5 / 10 Expert Rating

A dated, discontinued 1080p60 box with real passthrough lag.
