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.
Magewell Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus
8 / 10 Expert Rating
Professional-grade internal capture built for broadcast production, overkill and overpriced for anyone outside that world.
