Review on AVerMedia Live Gamer ULTRA GC553: 4Kp60 HDR Pass-Through Capture Card with Ultra-Low Latency for PS4 Pro and Xbox One X Recording and Streaming. by Ronny Goodman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great card with a big problem

The card does what it promises and does it reliably. The RECentral software even has some pretty useful features, like a benchmark test that gives you a good idea of what resolutions and frame rates your PC can recognize. Installation was pretty darn easy. But. You cannot change the RGB lighting on the map. There are 3 presets, all of which are useless, and the permanent color option is always blue, so it can't even be set to something that suits your setup, let alone synced to any of the many default programs. Turning RGB off entirely gives the card an awkward translucent white that doesn't look good in any configuration. This is an expensive card. Either don't put RGB on it (which is fine with me), take the time to build software for it, or just make it work with RGB control software. What a shame to be wrong.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • There are some disadvantages
