AVerMedia Live Gamer HD 2
6 / 10 Expert Rating
Solid, no-frills 1080p60 capture for buyers who genuinely don't need 4K passthrough.
AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra 2.1
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely useful onboard-encoder pick for single-PC streamers doing HDR console capture, though it costs more than AVerMedia's simpler externals.
