Gamers are a competitive bunch, when they do something extraordinary in a game, they want everybody to see. This is where Game Capture devices come in, they allow you to record the gameplay directly from your console and allow you to share them with your friends or upload them on video sites like YouTube for everyone to see. Capturing gameplay, adding commentary and putting them on the internet has also become a career for some. Now due to the immense popularity of capturing gameplays, new capture devices are popping up ever so often in the market. Today we’ll be reviewing one of the front runners – the AVerMedia Game Capture HD.
Welcome to the comprehensive review of this AverMedia capture card and we compare it to a cheap capture card from Amazon that we previously bought that gave us a ton of headaches
Ken McKown writes: When Avermedia sent over the Game Capture HD II I was expecting yet another piece of hardware that captures game clips, offers commentary and has one or two quirks that simply annoy me. Much to my surprise, this device actually brings something new and interesting to the table. This is the first capture device that does not require a PC to function, making it much more appealing to those without hefty hardware who want to become a YouTube sensation.
SelectButton: "The ExtremeCap U3 can be found on Amazon for the same price as its pocket-sized brother, Live Gamer Portable, and still cheaper than the internal Live Gamer HD. Having USB 3.0 should be a huge factor when determining what product to purchase. If the answer is yes, the ExtremeCap U3 should be the only product on your list, with incredible visual quality and the only way to record 1080p at 60fps videos with a consumer level device. The lack of video pass-through does hurt the product if your PC doesn’t have USB 3.0 due to the lack of video pass-through and Mac users are simply out of luck once again."
Sorry but how old is this review? It states that this device can only capture video @ 30Mbps if recording 1080p/60fps.....but I bought this device in the last week of January and when I installed the latest drivers/software, it allowed me to capture video @ 60Mbps when 1080p/60fps
