Verdict

AVerMedia Live Gamer Duo

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely useful dual-input card for anyone layering a face cam over console footage, wasted money if you only need one channel.

Elgato 4K S

9 / 10 Expert Rating

The most portable way to get genuine 4K60 capture — ideal for laptop and iPad streamers, especially on a 1440p high-refresh monitor.
