What customers say about "Key Specs"

AVerMedia Live Gamer HD

You can stream and/or record in very high quality very easy with this card and software. From gaming to video tutorials this card is fantastic.
If you want to capture easily, quickly and in a great quality this is the card for you!
Records flawlessly without harming game performance and produces very nice sharp/crisp video right out of the card.
So happy to find out it can record skype so now i can play multiplayer games with my friends and record everything including me and my skype friends convocation :)
If you want a capture card for either console or PC, this is perfect! At the hit of the button, you can record straight to the hard drive up to 1080p 30fps or use it to stream using OBS or XSplit.

Elgato HD60 Pro Game Capture Card

Card work as expected and rated. I don't use much of its software for streaming so can't really say anything but capturing screen for two pc setup works fine.
The device is easy to set up and is very robust and does not feel cheap.
I've had problems with external capture devices in the past. This device gives me NO issues at all. It does exactly what it should, and the installation procedure is the easiest I've seen.
I use this to capture my Original Xbox One and my Nintendo Switch, which is does perfectly with minimal latency, less than 5 frames by my estimates.
All the information I needed was on the Elgato website and installation was fairly easy.

What customers say about "Features"

AVerMedia Live Gamer HD

I love this thing. Easy to install and set-up, took lees then 20 minutes to open box, open PC slot in and install the software.
I very much like the hot button, it's no small task to find an keyboard key you never use in anything you do, but with the hot button you don't need to work out.
I definitely recommend this capture card to anyone looking for something that doesn't take up any extra place and/or offer little to no latency.
The card was easy to place into my tower, and it works like a charm!
I have been using it with XSplit and any minor issue that has arose, has been solved with a simple source refresh.

Elgato HD60 Pro Game Capture Card

Sufficiently low delay to be able to play games through the capture stream rather than needing a second display. We have used it for clear capture from ps4, wiiu, switch, mini nes with no problems.
I use this to capture my Original Xbox One and my Nintendo Switch, which is does perfectly with minimal latency, less than 5 frames by my estimates.
The free software that comes with the Elgato HD60 Pro is perfect and makes streaming simple as all sound is directly transferred over!
Recording is instant, when pressing the record button, it records instantly without delay (unlike the Avermedia HD2).
Very difficult to install and get working without getting the message (no device found error).
