Model overview based on user reviews
The Aver Media Live Gamer Ultra is a highly regarded capture device known for its ability to record up to 240 frames per second in Full HD and 4K at 60 frames per second, though it requires a powerful processor like an i5 for optimal performance.

Cons
0 0 1 4 |
The recording and streaming resolution is maximum 4k 30 fps, but you can set a lower resolution and then get a higher frame rate, for example in Full HD if you record you can set it to 120 frames per second. You can stream to any platform; all the necessary platforms are already included in the native software, but you can add others. no |
You can display all the necessary information, logo, additional windows, and so on on the screen. and at the same time the processor load will be minimal. I needed to start broadcasting with a high-quality picture, and with this card it’s possible. I can choose the resolution in which to broadcast myself; the video and audio bitrate can also be changed. In the settings you can mix recordings in multi-mode. no |
It transmits a 4K picture with HDR to the screen, so it’s possible to play on a large screen with a high resolution, and I do it. I stream preferably from the PS4 console, but sometimes from PC. You can record an image in almost any resolution, including the popular 4k, but I’ll tell you that it’s better in 1080p60 since it supports HDR and the picture turns out more saturated and smooth. no |
