There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The Live Gamer Duo is unique from previous entries in that it offers 2 HDMI inputs instead of the single input found on most cards. Now, I know that after this product came out, Elgato released the Camlink Pro, which allows four inputs, but at the time, this was the best way to get multiple inputs, which has become a must for modern livestreams now that DSLR and mirrorless cameras have become the go-to instead of webcams.
There are limitations to be aware of right away, the most disappointing for most creators is that neither input is capable of recording above 1080p60. HDMI 1 can pass through 4kp60 with HDR, but you can't record it. HDMI 2 is limited even more, only allowing up to 1080p60, although given current streaming standards, this isn't as big of a deal as some would make it out to be. It's still worth noting those limitations, as if you need the 4k recording, the Camlink Pro is probably the better route to go.
Those limitations aside, for streaming, they're mostly irrelevant as most people attempting to stream will max out at 1080p60 anyway regardless of what they're doing. And frankly, the card does handle both inputs with ease. I've done a few streams now where I've utilized both inputs and it has performed exactly as I've needed it to. If recording is the main thing you're doing and 4k matters, again, you'll want to consider other options. Or you can do what I was able to do with my current build, and have a Live Gamer 4k in the system at the same time as the Duo (yes, it works). But that isn't always going to be possible unless you have a lot of PCI-e lanes to work with.
In terms of setup, AVerMedia's products continue to be very easy. Insert it into a PCI-e slot, power on your system, and install the driver from their website and you should be good to go. You don't need to run their software, although it is required if you want to change the RGB lighting on the front of the card. Beyond that, it should be detected by your preferred streaming software without issue. This product, like the Live Gamer 4k, allows you to use the lighting for status effects, such as recording and if there's an issue with the product.
The recording limitations aside, this product works very well and will allow you to use your favorite camera along with your console and/or gaming PC (if on a dual-PC set-up) instead of having to choose one or the other. I'm hoping that down the road, AVerMedia releases an updated version that allows for 4k60 recording, but for my purposes, this is more than enough. As I stated earlier, I've managed to get both the Live Gamer 4k and Duo working at the same time, which solves the 4k recording situation as that capture card is capable of recording up to 4k60.
If you're looking for a dual capture card for around $200 (the price as of writing this) and don't mind the lack of 4k recording, you can't go wrong with this one.
First, I have used an Elgato HD60 Pro for a few years and they make a great product. Its always worked perfectly so long as I game on a 1080P monitor. My one issue though has been that this card could not deal with my 1440P/144Hz monitor making it difficult to stream without making compromises. When the 4K cards started showing up on the market I was sure that Elgato would come to the rescue and of course they did. At $400 its probably worth it. BUT then I ran into this gem. The Avermedia LiveGamer 4K at $299! I have had an Avermedia card in the past that I returned for poor performance so I was a little nervous about picking up this card. But for $100 off I figured I could always return it if it didn't perform well. I'm so glad I made this decision.
The LiveGamer 4K works perfectly and I can finally have lag free 1440P 144Hz gaming while dumping all of the output to my streaming PC and right through the game capture. The LiveGamer 4K handles everything perfectly, doesn't get overly warm, and just works. I didn't even install anything but the drivers for the card (apparently you used to have to install their software to get the drivers but it is now available as a separate driver only download). I just dont see a reason to spend an extra $100 for the Elgato...at least in my setup.
The LiveGamer 4K came well packaged, and included the HDMI 2.0 cable that I needed....though if your gaming PC and your streaming PC are far apart you'll need to make sure to pick up a longer one that meets that specification. The card was extremely simple to install and the drivers were easily available on Avermedia's site. I was up and running in no more than 5 minutes. There are no "settings" to make. Just pop open OBS or whatever you're using and it just shows up as a video capture device. On the Gaming PC I simply went into NVidia Control Panel and made sure the capture card showed 2560x1440 @ 144Hz and duplicated from the main display....that was literally it.
So if you're in my situation looking for a way to send your gaming PC video to your streaming/recording PC at full resolution and frame-rate then this card will do the trick.
I only use it to capture highlights in 4k, and also stream to twitch, so wasn't really looking for anything revolutionary. Because of that this card suits my needs. The quality of the capture is great, and the latency is pretty quick. Install was a breeze.

This one, I took it out of the box, opened my PC case, and popped this card into the open 1x slot, plugged in my camera, and viola! it worked perfectly from the get go. I was even able to have some fun and feed the passthrough into my USB capture link thing and make TWO MEs!!! LOL
Great product so far, will update if that changes. Worth the $$ especially on sale. Used to capture a Nintendo Switch AND a second PC with perfect results each time.
Top reviews from other countries
Al ser una tarjeta PCIe 4x, requiere de un slot de buen tamaño, usualmente un 16x adicional al usado para la tarjeta de gráficos. Aunque técnicamente podría colocarse en un puerto 1x, no es recomendable por que esto limita el ancho de banda disponible.
Al ser interna, la tarjeta no ocupa espacio en el escritorio ni un puerto USB.
Pero a cambio, requiere una mejor planeación para ordenar los cables de entrada y salida de video.
Al tener dos puertos de entrada y uno de salida, la tarjeta es perfecta para capturar una cámara y una consola a la vez.
Su función de passthrough permite que una de estas entradas pueda salir a otro dispositivo, como un monitor, para evitar que la latencia aumente demasiado.
Una consideración es que los drivers nos han causado algunos problemas en Windows 10, que han requerido a veces reiniciar la computadora.
Einziges Manko ist aber das aktualisieren der RecCentral Software Suite von AverMedia. Sie lässt sie oftmals nicht updaten und man muss die gesamte Software deinstallieren und dann die neue installieren.
Wer am PC seine Konsolen zocken möchte oder streamen möchte, ist mit dieser 4K CaptureCard sehr gut bedient.
