Everything works had it for about like 2 years nd I still use it with heavy use. The only that suck about it is that you have to use a 3.0 usb port or else it records at 1080p 30fps. with the usb 3.0 works amazing

I used to have the old Elgato GameCapture HD. It had terrible latency; this was back around 7-ish years ago. Since then, I have been using internal capture cards. I decided to pick this external capture card on the off chance that I may stumble upon a dual PC setup down the road. I am amazed on the quality of these new external capture cards as they are just about as good if not equal to their internal counterpart. The setup is exactly the same as they have always been but with now zero latency and video quality that exceeds my expectations. I mainly use it for gaming streaming, but the recording quality is also amazing. The build on this one doesn't feel really sturdy mainly plastic but if you are not moving it around and just keep it one spot it should be fine. I am truly impressed.

If you know someone who has used a capture card before, ask them for help if it is your first time! This product is great but it was so challenging to set up. The instructions are not clear and there are not a lot of tutorial videos to assist you. Once my friend who often streams helped me, it has been so nice and easy to use. I bought this so I can stream my switch on discord and it has great quality. After the initial set up, it is pretty easy to to use.

Awesome Capture Card! Easy to set up and the quality is amazing. I experienced little to no lag while streaming. Definitely the best choice to get that's under $100.

This review is for the AVerMedia GC551G2 Live Gamer Extreme 3. Update: The audio line-in has an "internal electronics pitch" noise floor, it's subtle, but it's there. See the screenshot, and that's with no audio coming in. Actually, I pulled the cable from the source and it's still there. This noise goes away when disconnecting the line-in and only using the HDMI. No!, my cables are not the problem. I may end up returning it, still have a few days to decide. Original review: Works great for retro setups! (with the help of a VGA to HDMI converter). I have great results capturing my retro PC VGA output with the following setup: PC VGA output to a Gefen VGA to HDMI Scaler, from the Scaler to the Avermedia and then to my laptop with the USB C cable. No problems using it with OBS Studio. The AverMedia has a Line-in to capture the audio from the PC. It has no synch issues at all. I returned one of those $30 "no name" capture devices because it had poor audio quality and a lot of pops anc click noises! The AverMedia is worth the extra $$!

Muchos prefieren elgato pero avermedia siempre me a funcionado correctamente y sin ser tan cara

The software that goes with it is exclusive to Windows, making this device very cumbersome to use. It's also very slow, unstable. Most of the time it doesn't even work. Not only that, but it's the only way to get the maximum quality out of it. The device itself is hard to configure with OBS Studio and it doesn't come with a configuration that you can directly use in other recording software to instantly get the max quality. If they made a software for Linux that allows you to instantly record at max quality without crashing all the time, it would be 5/5, but right now it's very cumbersome.

ممتازه جدا ولا فيها تاخير وجودتها حلوه بس مافيها فور كي فقط الحد حقها ١٠٨٠ اتش دي....فيها مشكله بسيطه لو انك تبي تبث وتصور دايم ترا مراح تقدر تفصلها عن السوني ٥ يعني بتضطر تشغل الكمبيوتر عشان تشغل السوني.. الباقي ١٠٠٪

Sfortunatamente la confezione è arrivata danneggiata. Il dispositivo di per sé funzionava bene con Recentral arrivando a 4K'30. Invece su Obs mi dava il problema di "not supported" se salivo sopra i 1080p60 (idem streamlabs). Ho fatto il reso dopo diversi tentativi. Soddisfatto invece dell'assistenza di Avermedia nel cercare di aiutarmi a risolvere le problematiche.

Works like a charm for 1440p 60fps recording. Plug and play on obs no external software required
