You can't expect a lower end desktop to encode the image for a live stream without problems. You DO need a high end computer to live stream a decent bitrate - high resolution image. This leads me onto my next point, people gave this 1 star because they don't know what to do or don't know how these devices work. You don't lose any detail in the image but does put more stress on your hardware to process it.
#Avermedia live gamer hdmi capture card 1080p#
Solid 1080p 60fps image quality from the nintendo switch, I had no comments during the live stream about any problems with the image quality and I watched some of the footage back and it does appear that the card DOESN'T compress the picture quality which is a good thing. The HDMI pass through worked wonders, I couldn't actually feel any input lag which was nice as you do get a bit of an input delay when passing through a capture card. Literally worked right out of the box so it was just plug 'n play. The "Live Gamer HD 2" is the PCIe capture card, plugged in really easy. I used StreamLabs and never touched the AVerMedia software, so I won't be commenting on how well that performs. Just make sure your computer has good air flow and you should be good. I streamed for over 4 hours and I didn't have any problems, the metal shroud keeping the card covers seems to work well as a heat sink. I have been looking for a capture card for a while to live stream to YouTube, this worked perfectly for what I wanted.
