Verdict

AVerMedia Live Gamer 4K

6 / 10 Expert Rating

Still a capable 4K PCIe capture card if you can find it cheap and don't need HDR, otherwise the GC575 replaced it for good reason.

8 / 10 Expert Rating

An excellent low-profile SDI/HDMI capture card for DaVinci Resolve editors, entirely wrong for gaming capture.
