Uncompressed video in 1080p60
The LGHD2 card has been designed to meet two requirements: Quality and Fluidity! By taking uncompressed captures, the LGHD2 greatly simplifies your computer’s operations, delivers much smoother and more accurate image quality, ensuring a superior 1080p60 stream.
Plug & Play: More Need Driver!
Get the drivers bowl? Forget it. The LGHD2 card does not require any driver to be installed. Simply insert the card into a PCIe port and you’re ready to stream.
Audio connections: Make your choice!
When it comes to video capture, it’s always an advantage to have more options to manage audio. With the LGHD2 card, you can connect digitally via HDMI, or analog via a 3.5mm jack to record audio from your consoles, computers and even, why not, to mixers for audio mixing. You have all the options. Total flexibility. It’s up to you to make your choice!
Key Features
And Also Compressed Video Output
In addition to uncompressed video, the LGHD2 card also allows you to record compressed video, consuming less bandwidth. This allows you to use multiple LGHD2 cards simultaneously*. *Software with multi-card support is required.
Let’s Talk Design
If there is a geometric shape that represents gamers, it is indeed the triangle, marriage between vitality (a circle) and stability (a square), in which we find well the characteristics of the players. Based on this idea, we created the exterior grid design of the LGHD2 board. Apart from the quality of its material and design, it also offers excellent protection and ventilation, as well as a very nice brightness for LED lights.
Box contents
This same design is beautifully depicted on the LGHD2 box. With its high-precision laser cuts, the grid looks just as beautiful on the cardboard sleeve as it is made of metal. The design of the internal box was also conceived according to the same logic. The silver blue patterns and finishes are reminiscent of LED lighting when you remove the box from its pouch. Just like this card, it is a unique box of its kind.

First stream with this went better than expected – See image quality
I have been looking for a capture card for a while to live stream to YouTube, this worked perfectly for what I wanted. 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. Just make sure your computer has good air flow and you should be good.I used StreamLabs and never touched the AVerMedia software, so I won’t be commenting on how well that performs.The “Live Gamer HD 2” is the PCIe capture card, plugged in really easy. No drivers / updates required. Literally worked right out of the box so it was just plug ‘n play. 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. Huge plus on that front.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. You don’t lose any detail in the image but does put more stress on your hardware to process it.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 DO need a high end computer to live stream a decent bitrate – high resolution image. You can’t expect a lower end desktop to encode the image for a live stream without problems. The best thing you can do is drop the bitrate in your streaming software until you get a smooth image, this does mean you will be sacrificing image quality the lower the bit rate though.I have attached an image of the live stream, this was recorded at 1080 – 60 fps – 6500 bitrate and this is AFTER YouTube ran it through processing and the image quality is still fantastic.
Very impressed!
I initially bought an Elgato Cam Link with the intent to livestream drawing using my DSLR. I had no end of issues with the device, you have to faff around and install their capture software before the computer even recognises the Cam Link, and my image kept freezing every few seconds despite it being a powerful PC, having it in a USB 3.0 slot and fast enough internet. While their customer service was very helpful, they were pretty slow in getting things sorted out and eventually I gave up and chalked it down to a faulty capture device, so I returned it.However with the Live Gamer HD 2 all I had to do was insert it into my PC and go. It automatically installed the drivers with no bloatware needed and it runs extremely well with Xsplit. Zero stuttering or freezing. Comes with a HDMI cable and male-male aux cable included too! I’m very happy and wish I’d saved myself the trouble and gone for this one in the first place!
Extremely limited, not proper PCIe
If you’re capturing off something modern like a PS4 or a Switch you’ll probably be fine with this card, but what attracted me to it was it listed support for 480 and 576 resolutions, as well as interlaced video at “up to 60Hz”. To me this suggests it’s good for capturing off older systems where HDMI was an afterthought, or where you’re doing RGB->HDMI conversion. This is simply not the case.Rather than “up to 60Hz” it’s actually “can only do exactly 50Hz or 60Hz and nothing else. It can’t even capture the completely standard NTSC 59.97Hz, and my hardware is doing 49.97 or 50.05Hz and it can’t capture these either, all you get is a “signal out of range” message generated by the hardware. No-where on the datasheet or advertising for this card is this limitation mentioned.The driver for it is the standard Microsoft UVD driver so almost zero configurability if it doesn’t work for you, and that gets me onto the even more annoying thing about this card.It’s sold as a PCIe card and I bought it because I was getting fed up of USB capture jank, but this is actually a USB capture device soldered onto the same board as an old Renesas USB3 controller, aka the worst USB3 controller ever made, giving you the worst of both worlds.In conclusion, if you’re capturing off older devices, this card is no good for you, and if you’re capturing off modern devices, there are 4K cards out there for not much more that offer better future proofing. I can’t see any reason why anyone should buy this card in 2023!
I had previously used xplit etc straight to youtube but there was lag in the stream I asked people for advice and they said my pc spec was fine for streaming without a card but I bought one …
I bought this to stream flight sim, I had previously used xplit etc straight to youtube but there was lag in the stream I asked people for advice and they said my pc spec was fine for streaming without a card but I bought one anyway, Initially I thought the product was very good it did seem to speed things up but when I took a closer look at the quality of the video and compared to shadow play etc I saw that the software I already had provided a much better picture quality, I don’t think this is a fault of the device I just think it’s how it was designed, it doesn’t quite look like 1080p to me, (I have a 4k monitor ) that maybe the reason but I decided to return mine because I was getting better results without spending the money on this. I recommend it if your screen is a 1080p resolution but if it’s higher I wouldn’t buy it because it’s just going to annoy you with the fact it’s not as crisp as your used to.
Plug and Play Capture Card
First of all, let me start by saying that you don’t need to download any software, aside from the drivers to use this. It runs out of the box with OBS and XSplit. The bundled software is in many ways inferior to those platforms, however, for capturing and streaming my Nintendo Switch, it’s absolutely flawless. Silky smooth 60FPS gameplay when in docked mode. At least, on those titles that support 60FPS.
easy to install and configure

Pra mim é a melhor placa 1080×60 que você pode conseguir, qualidade excelente, delay 0 e preço “justo” para o padrão BR
Habe nebenbei die Elgato HD60 (USB), die Avermedia HD1 und noch bissel Terratec SD-Kleinkram.Von Elgato war ich bissel enttäuscht, da die HD60 leider recht stark komprimiert,sieht man sehr gut bei schnellen Szenen in Doom 2 (Map mit Rot/blauen Pixeln, hier extremer Matsch).Aber auch super beim Gras (direkt der Start) bei Shadow Warrior 2.Auch im 720p Modus ist starke Kompression angesagt, wer also 720p streamt/recordet, sollte die Karte in 1080p lassen und per Software downsamplen.Direkt in der Elgato-Software war die Quali etwas besser als im OBS, wieso auch immer…Ebenfalls hat Win10 das Problem, immer auf 59,94fps zu forcen anstatt glatte 60Hz (Win 7 kein Problem),was der Elgato ebenfalls nicht so mega gut schmeckt (ganz leicht ruckelig).Hauptproblem war dann aber die CPU-Last von 30-35% auf 1080p60, gerade in OBS.Das Delay war ebenfalls nicht toll (ca 350ms)__________________________________________________________Die Live Gamer HD2 macht dagegen alles komplett richtig (CPU last 10-17%)Toll ist auch, dass man HDCP” deaktivieren kann (Software an, Haken raus, Software aus, OBS einschalten).Diese Option fehlt der HD1 leider, somit kann ich nicht direkt vom PC capturen, bzw. nur über Umwege.Ein Problem was alle Karten haben ist aber, dass sie niedrige oder “krumme” Auflösungen nicht wollen,dagegen hilft aber ein einfacher, günstiger Upscaler für 30-60€ ;-)__________________________________________________________2 Mankos, die mir aber kein Stern Abzug wert sind:- Das Bild ist etwas zu scharf, schärfer als bei der HD1, Desktopaufnahmen (Text) sollte man somit etwas smoothen nach der Aufnahme.- Kein Encoder onboard, das wäre noch toll gewesen und auch gerne 50,- Aufpreis wert. (Die HD1 hat’s noch)——————————————————————————————Was ich mir für die nächste Version wünsche, Wichtigkeit in absteigender Reihenfolge:- Freesync Support (ab 29Hz, zur Not LFC)- Support für 144Hz, besser gleich 240Hz (kann gerne intern auf 60 gesampled werden, Hauptsache es darf anliegen)- DP-Eingang- HDR Support (dann mit Freesync 2)(Für den ersten Punkt, würde ich die nagelneue HD2 sofort wieder gegen ne Neue eintauschen *lach*)
Très Bon produit comme d’habitude la qualité est la avec AVerMedia que ce soit en terme de logiciel ou matériel les 2 son faciles à utiliser et installer. Le must pour un PC pour Stream ou REC son PC Gaming.Pour ce qui n’aime pas la LED en mode Jacky Tunning cela est possible de l’éteindre avec le logiciel.La prise Jack vraiment bien et plus pratique que le HDMI comparé au concurent le Elgato HD60 Pro(Juste personnellement prévoir un Splitter audio)Les +-Le packaging (c’est con mais ce bleu glossi est très beau)-Le cordon HDMI et Jack (d’assez grande taille pour les 2 je dirais 1m50)-La prise Jack sur l’AVerMedia (indispensable pour moi je trouve)-Le design-Pas de décalage Vidéo entre le PC Gaming et le PC de StreamLes –Rien a signalé
Mi ha stupito parecchio, funziona eccellentemente. Pochissimo Delay (quasi nullo).Ha anche un ingresso jack da 3,5mm per gestire tracce audio separate e l’illuminazione LED rossa aggiunge un tocco di classe.
