I currently use an internal AVerMedia 4K HDR capture card (GC573) in my main setup, but I wanted something more versatile for when I am on my laptop or away from my primary computer, and this capture card has worked perfectly for that purpose.Setup was truly plug and play. I tested it with Streamlabs OBS and XSplit, and both worked right out of the box without any issues, (make sure to check for updates though). The low latency makes it great for real time gameplay streaming, and the 4K60 HDR pass-through ensures that I can still enjoy high quality visuals while capturing at 1080p or 4K. It connects to the computer via USBC C to the device, but the other male end of the connector is USB A, so it should be easily compatible with many different machines.While I don't take advantage of it personally, I appreciate the ultra-wide screen support, which is a great bonus for certain games. In terms of quality, AVerMedia is top notch, and if you don't know the brand, you can trust that they make excellent products that last. The output on YouTube or Twitch streams, and local recordings is fantastic.The compatibility across different devices makes this an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a reliable capture card that just works.

I am not at all surprised by the value or functionality or video quality of this AverMedia Live Gamer Ultra S. I routinely use AverMedia products in two differing work environments, both of those using the captures to get video from cameras to computers for streaming.In this case, I wanted to connect a gaming PC to a streaming PC to take the strain of streaming away from the gaming PC so it can focus on smooth gameplay and playback.Using the AverMedia Ultra S, I get zero lag, full responsiveness and color and picture accuracy. The gaming PC is operating at a higher video resolution than the streaming one, and the AverMedia has no issues at all converting what I need from the first machine to the second, with no loss in quality whatsoever.I have not seen any high heat levels from the device, or any stuttering of any kind. One thing I really like about AverMedia's capture devices, including the Ultra S, is the light on the front of the device that tells you immediately if the capture is working successfully, if you are streaming, or if there is a connectivity issue. You know right away if something isn't plugged in, or similar. Easy, peasy.Since it's not always apparent to people, here are some very quick instructions if you just want to stream from one PC to another:Connect the included HDMI from your (1)gaming pc to the HDMI IN on the AverMedia Live Gamer Ultra S.Connect the USB-C to USB-A from the AverMedia's USB-C connection to your (2)streaming pc.If you'd like a separate monitor for what the AverMedia is capturing, there's an additional HDMI OUT you can send to a monitor.On the streaming PC, if the AverMedia is showing a solid blue light, you should find the AverMedia waiting to be used in your streaming software if you choose Video Capture Device. It's really that easy. I was streaming inside of a couple of minutes with this Ultra S.This is now the FIFTH AverMedia I will be routinely using, so glad this one belongs to ME!There are tons of other options on the market, but AverMedia is the top of the line in the business, super dependable, and easy to use in every way. Worth every penny it costs, and every moment you spend setting it up.

I have tried around five different low-end no-name or random-name capture cards ranging from the $40 to $140 range using OBS, all claiming to be at least 4k@30Hz capable. Of those I found three that can reliably record 4K@30 from a variety of sources but not always with more than 2 channel sound. All except one of those came in generic no-name boxes with minimal instructions and specs.This AVerMedia card is certainly the best- and most legitimate-looking low-cost device that I have tried to date, and it is made in Taiwan. I have been testing this for several weeks now and it has been working reliably with OBS, or I should say at least the capture device has not been the weak link in the chain. I have hardly been pushing the limits of this card to its limit as I do not have the means to do so, but I have been able to record 4K@60 Hz with 5.1 audio, and that is the upper extent of my needs.I have on occasion had some periodic stuttering that appears to be a problem with OBS or its or my settings and not any issue with the card because all my cards seem to do exactly the same thing under the same settings. There is a great deal of discussion all over on this very same problem, but I have yet to find one of the many "definitive" solutions that fixes it in all cases.One of the things that really impressed me about this capture device (other than the reliable operation) over the others is that the package has all of the capabilities and specs printed on the outside, as would any other piece of legitimate retail hardware like a graphics card or motherboard. And the device has CE, FCC, VCCI, and other certification markings on the underside label that I have actually never seen on the class of devices that I have been purchasing thus far.Unlike some of the sketchy no-name capture devices, this does not bypass HDCP protection, and the yellow box label asks you to please not use HDMI splitters to defeat the protection. Overall this looks like a solid and legit product that I would probably trust to perform as stated. If I ran into problems pushing it to the specified limits I might be more immediately inclined to suspect that the fault was at my end rather than with the device.
