What customers say about "Key Specs"
AVerMedia Live Gamer HD 2 (GC570) PCIe Internal Game Capture Card
- 1080p 60fps capture, hdmi passthrough, and very low latency PC gameplay were all I was asking for and this card delivered them.
- I like this product because 1080p60 is the maximum size so it can be used with notebook.
- This product handles everything I throw at it flawlessly with great performance.
- The AverMedia Live Gamer HD 2 works great. Picture is clear and sound quality is crisp. It was easy to stream and/or upload footage to Youtube.
- Recommend for anyone streaming or recording video game play.
Elgato HD60 Pro
- 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.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
AVerMedia Live Gamer HD 2 (GC570) PCIe Internal Game Capture Card
- One thing we really like is how small this unit is. Looks good im my PC.
- It is small, simple and works. Great capture quality and almost no lag too.
- This thing is so small for what it achieves that it’s truly jarring all things considered.
- I was shocked at how thin and small this card is. Nice designed and led lighting good too.
- Simple setup, very small, records with ALMOST no delay, perfect combination!
Elgato HD60 Pro
- I must admit I was surprised at how small it really was, I had done plenty of research before receiving the product but wow!

What customers say about "Features"
AVerMedia Live Gamer HD 2 (GC570) PCIe Internal Game Capture Card
- It's easily plug and play and let me get my switch/ps4 to output on my g-sync monitor that doesn't have hdmi input.
- Shortest delay of any streaming device I've used, its short enough that you can easily play non-fast-action games through your PC monitor while streaming.
- Was very simple setup, surprised it was really plug and play.
- Not only it looks great in my PC, but it also performs and outperforms the competition.
- Love the live capture feature and also the new Rec Central. Great product again AverMedia!!!
Elgato HD60 Pro
- 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).
