Capture Card for Seamless Next-Gen Recording and Streaming
As an avid gamer, I can confidently say that the AVerMedia GC551G2 Game Capture Card is a reliable companion for next-gen console enthusiasts who want to capture and stream their gameplay effortlessly. The 4K HDR pass-through feature ensures that the visual quality of my games remains stunning, even when I’m recording or streaming at a lower resolution. It’s a game-changer for content creators like me.One aspect that impressed me the most is the high frame rate (HFR) support. It delivers incredibly smooth and fluid motion during recordings and streams, making the gameplay look incredibly immersive. There’s no jarring or stuttering, even during fast-paced action scenes. It truly elevates the viewing experience for my audience.Setting up the GC551G2 was a breeze. With its multiple input options, including HDMI 2.0 and USB 3.0, connecting it to my Xbox Series X was quick and hassle-free. The user-friendly software provided by AVerMedia made the entire process straightforward, and I was able to start recording and streaming in no time. The software’s compatibility with popular streaming platforms allowed me to effortlessly share my gaming adventures with my audience.Another great feature of the GC551G2 is its audio mixing capabilities. Being able to balance the game audio and my microphone input right within the capture card itself was a huge convenience. It gave me more control over my streams and recordings, ensuring that my voice was clear and balanced with the game sounds.What truly sets the AVerMedia GC551G2 apart is its competitive price. It offers excellent value for gamers on a budget who still want a reliable and feature-packed capture card. The performance and features it provides easily rival some of the higher-priced options on the market.Lastly, I must mention the Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support. This feature synchronizes the refresh rate of my captured footage with the frame rate of the game, resulting in tear-free recordings and streams. The smoothness it brings to the table is impressive, enhancing the overall quality of my content.In conclusion, the AVerMedia GC551G2 Game Capture Card is a dependable choice for next-gen console gamers seeking seamless gameplay recording and streaming. With its impressive 4K HDR pass-through, HFR support, low latency, and versatile features like audio mixing and VRR, it delivers exceptional performance. The user-friendly setup and competitive pricing make it an attractive option for gamers looking to create content without breaking the bank.

Long lasting
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

These new external cap cards are the bomb.
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.

Great once I figured it out!
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.

THIS CAPTURE CARD IS AMAZING!!!
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.

Not so great to capture my retro PC (with a VGA to HDMI converter) and OBS Studio. See update!
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
