It has especially made streaming easier by having a setup that simply works, and one which I can mostly leave in place. What you get with AVerMedia’s Live Gamer Duo is a single one-time set-up unit that’s largely plug and play. If you want to be able to record in 4K or higher than 60 fps this quite simply isn’t the device. ![]() It really does feel like a device that streamlines the whole process. This means streamers and content creators wanting to use a better quality camera while streaming games through a capture card may only need the one device that plugs directly into a single PCIe slot. The image passed through is exactly what my camera sees without any other software or fiddling about. I even plugged my old DSLR camera into the Live Gamer Duo via a HDMI mini to standard cable and that works brilliantly too. Meanwhile, the 4K passthrough has remained unhindered entirely by the process, though it would be nice to have passthrough options for both inputs rather than solely HDMI1. My PC is unbothered while the card is operating, though it still takes the usual hit from my streaming software. Video processing, such as downscaling or frame rate conversion, is all done on the card itself, and I believe it. The full HD recording and high-enough-frame rate streaming just works and is immediately recognisable by third party software. It does everything it advertises with relatively low effort. That’s what impresses me about the Live Gamer Duo the most. Most users will probably prefer to stick with something they're used to, such as OBS or Xsplit, which worked seamlessly with the card. ![]() It’s never happened while the software has been in active use or during streaming so has never felt like a problem that inhibited performance.Īnd while the software isn’t bad, it’s fairly limited and isn’t really anything special. The audio and visual information become distorted but are immediately fine again when restarting the program. RECentral 4 software can have problems when left open but not in use for long periods of time. This is actually a testament to the latency because it was good enough that I didn’t really notice. I probably wouldn’t even have come across the issue if I wasn’t using the RECentral 4 software as a screen to play games on rather than using passthrough. So you’re limited to only using one software at any time, which is actually very fair. It doesn’t seem to matter whether I’ve got PC audio turned on or any other settings. When the RECentral 4 software is running, while something like Xsplit or OBS are also getting signals from the card, the audio will feedback on itself in your recording or stream. Even since the initial install I’ve only experienced problems when having two different programs trying to use the card at once. ![]()
