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.

Elgato HD60 X

9 / 10 Expert Rating

The best capture card for most console streamers — reliable 1080p60 capture with 4K60 HDR passthrough in a simple USB-C package.
