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.
