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.

Elgato 4K Pro

10 / 10 Expert Rating

The flagship internal card for professional streamers — 8K60 passthrough, multi-app support, and rock-solid 4K60 HDR capture at a premium price.
