Verdict
AVerMedia Live Streamer Ultra HD
6 / 10 Expert Rating
A budget-friendly entry point into internal PCIe capture with real 4K30 recording and stronger HDR/VRR passthrough, but its lack of independent long-term review coverage and 4K30 (not 4K60) capture ceiling limit it to a specific slower-content niche.
Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2
7 / 10 Expert Rating
Still a genuinely strong 4K60 HDR10 card if found discounted, though the 4K X and 4K Pro have since taken its place for good reasons.
