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.

Roland VC-1-DL

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely useful multi-format converter for legacy AV environments, far more niche and pricier than a typical gaming capture card.
