Verdict

AVerMedia Live Gamer Extreme 3

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A sensible mid-tier AVerMedia pick if 4K30 recording with 4K60 HDR passthrough covers your needs.

Elgato Game Capture Neo

6 / 10 Expert Rating

The cheapest legitimate entry into Elgato's ecosystem, reasonable only if you're certain you'll never need 4K passthrough.
