Does it require an external power source?
No, it is powered via USB-C 3.2—no extra adapter needed.
Can I stream my Nintendo Switch 2 to Discord with this capture card?
Yes, connect your Nintendo Switch to the GC553Pro via HDMI, then link the capture card to your PC via USB 3.2. Use OBS Studio or Streamlabs to capture the gameplay and share your screen on Discord.
HDCP message shows while my input source is not copy protected?
HDCP is a content protection handshake. If it fails, video may not display. Disable HDCP by closing media apps or restarting the device. PS3 HDCP can’t be turned off—use component video. AMD GPU: disable HDCP in Radeon settings.
Experience frame drop (slight lag) when using 4K60 MJPEG in OBS?
Since OBS is not optimized for handling MJPEG encoding, we recommend using AVerMedia Streaming Center.
Does it support 5.1 surround sound?
Yes, it captures 5.1 multi-channel audio, though some platforms may need extra settings for full playback.

Outstanding Performance for Pro Gamers and Content Creators!
I recently upgraded to the **AVerMedia GC573 Live Gamer 4K** and I couldn’t be more impressed. As someone who streams regularly and creates gaming content, this capture card has been an absolute game-changer!### **4K Ultra HD & HDR Support:**The quality is unmatched! Recording and streaming in **4K at 60FPS** with **HDR** is mind-blowing. The colors are vibrant, and the footage is silky smooth, making my content look professional and polished. Even at 1080p, the card handles **240 FPS**, perfect for those who prefer ultra-high frame rates.### **Low Latency Performance:**One of the standout features is the **ultra-low latency**. There’s virtually no delay between the game and the captured footage, which is crucial for fast-paced games like shooters. It’s perfect for live streaming and ensures you’re always in sync with your audience.### **Easy Setup & Integration:**Installation was a breeze, and it integrates seamlessly with OBS and other streaming software. The RECentral software that comes with it is intuitive, though you can use other programs if you prefer. The card also handles multi-tasking very well—stream, record, and play all at once without a hitch.### **Perfect for Content Creation:**The AVermedia GC573 isn’t just for gamers; it’s perfect for anyone doing live event capture, video editing, or streaming. Whether you’re doing gameplay, tutorials, or live shows, this card has all the professional-level features you need.If you’re serious about quality and performance, the **AVerMedia GC573 Live Gamer 4K** is worth every penny. Highly recommended for gamers, streamers, and content creators who want the best!

Same Features as Elgato $100 Less
Generally I do not write reviews for most things I buy on Amazon…but when I have a really positive experience I will take the time to do so because I want others to know that this is a safe product to purchase and I personally have had a great experience with it.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 2560×1440 @ 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.

Performance and easy installation
After trying dual monitor option by sending signals to both monitor and streaming PC I was disappointed. Not capture card related but sluggishness and not having HDR in that option looked very bad and apparently there was no solution for HDR.Later I decided to try passtrough. 3440×1440 resolution and HDR works perfectly good. My only concern was input delay. However, I tested it with a very competitive game where I even notice 10-20ms delay and I couldn’t notice any additional input delay.So far so good.*Once I plug it to my old desktop’s PCI the vard flashed red for about 5minutes but later it automatically gets ready. I haven’t downloaded any app or driver update.

Graba tus partidas, emite directos, todo con gran calidad y sencillez de uso. La instalación también es intuitiva y muy sencilla, prácticamente plug and play. No requiere de grandes conocimientos previos y captura todo tipo de aparatos (PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, consolas retro…). Es una excelente herramienta que da una calidad de imagen y sonido realmente buena sin necesidad de grandes ajustes. Ahorra espacio al ser interna. Se acompaña con un programa de edición y captura de video como es el Power Director, en una versión algo antigua eso sí, pero permite trabajar y editar en la mayoría de las situaciones más habituales, con lo que no es una gran pega esta versión, se le puede dar un uso mucho más que aceptable con muy buenos resultados. El programa sí requiere de algo más de práctica, pero como cualquier otro editor de video, una vez conocidos los pasos básicos es muy fácil de usar y conseguir los resultados que buscas.

Ótima qualidade

Je l’ai acheté pour l’offrir. D’après coque j’ai pu voir en terme de rendu, la qualité est vraiment là. Cette carte d’acquisition est l’équivalente de son concurrent mais moins chère. Je recommande

Ich bin ziemlich zufrieden, ich habe die Karte nicht zum Streamen gekauft, sondern damit ich die Konsole am gleichen Bildschirm zocken kann und trotzdem Desktop Zugriff habe, ohne ständig umzustecken oder die Quelle zu wechseln. Das Ergebnis ist richtig solide, bei mir komplett ohne spürbare Verzögerung. HDR ist auch echt praktisch und sieht meiner Meinung nach sogar besser aus als der normale HDR Modus der Konsolen.

Generally it is a great one and meet all the features like 4k 60fps. However, when I inserted that one into PCI slot, the card itself bumped the power cable on the motherboard (MSI MAG B660M Mortar btw). It makes bit hard to put the card in also potential risk of damage the cable. So carefully check your motherboard PCI slot before your purchasing this one.
