Only come if absolutely necessary. Disclaimer: You rarely have to.

I've had this thing for over a year now and I still hardly use it. For example, when connected to the network, there is a large delay when the computer is turned on and the screen takes longer than usual to display a signal. Colors look strangely different, and even with HDMI gamut disabled in their software, the screen with the card looks different, washed out compared to another identical screen not connected to the card. The thing is that it can't get the signal through without installing software, which was a big disappointment for me. I hated dealing with it so much. You have to install the nasty software first and then connect the screens to the card. The other fact is that it can't pass a 144Hz signal, another big bummer, I mean ok I don't want to shoot footage at 144Hz but at least I can use the card as a simple pass. All of this is a reason to deduct 1.5 stars. The remaining 0.5 stars go to the software. I don't even want to start with that. It's so bad that I literally had the worst times I've ever used this software. hated it so much OBS IMO is much better and more convenient to use. A lot less mistakes.
