Review: WQHD (1440p) が問題なく認識できる - GC550 を使っていましたが、WQHD 環境に更新したため、後継機の GC550 PLUS を入手。 GC550 PLUS は 4K (2160p) の入力には対応しているが、WQHD (1440p) の入力には非対応とかいう謎仕様であることが判明。 そこでHP上に記載してあるし確実に対応しているであろう本機を購入し、接続確認をしてみたところ、WQHD映像を無事認識。 今のところ問題なく使えています。 Review: Capture Card for Seamless Next-Gen Recording and Streaming - As an avid gamer, I can confidently say that the AVerMedia GC551G2 Game Capture Card is a reliable companion for next-gen console enthusiasts who want to capture and stream their gameplay effortlessly.

It gave me more control over my streams and recordings, ensuring that my voice was clear and balanced with the game sounds. What truly sets the AVerMedia GC551G2 apart is its competitive price. It offers excellent value for gamers on a budget who still want a reliable and feature-packed capture card.

You can only connect the headset to your computer for streaming. **Q: How is the color on the avermedia live gamer ultra?** A: Here's a video that alternates between screen tests with the AverMedia GC553 and a $20 capture device called IPXOZO. It was recorded at 2160p and 10bit color depth with xSplit Broadcaster, although I don't know if it will recompress when updated. The 10bit color comes through beautifully on the GC553. **Q: Do you need the software to record in PC Free mode?** A: No. All you need for that feature is a Class 10 Micro SD card. Here is a link to their website about it: https://www.avermedia.com/gaming/product/game_capture/live_gamer_portable_2 **Q: Can I use this to go live with a dslr** A: Yes, you can. But I no longer recommend this product. After recording more than the MicroSD card can hold, the LGP2 has bricked my 64GB and 128GB Micro SD cards. I've tried fixing them thru Mac and Windows to no avail. So if you use this for recording any paid for projects, be aware of this issue. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ WQHD (1440p) が問題なく認識できる *by 七***灯 on 9 July 2025* GC550 を使っていましたが、WQHD 環境に更新したため、後継機の GC550 PLUS を入手。 GC550 PLUS は 4K (2160p) の入力には対応しているが、WQHD (1440p) の入力には非対応とかいう謎仕様であることが判明。 そこでHP上に記載してあるし確実に対応しているであろう本機を購入し、接続確認をしてみたところ、WQHD映像を無事認識。 今のところ問題なく使えています。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Capture Card for Seamless Next-Gen Recording and Streaming *by D***A on 22 May 2023* As an avid gamer, I can confidently say that the AVerMedia GC551G2 Game Capture Card is a reliable companion for next-gen console enthusiasts who want to capture and stream their gameplay effortlessly.

It's also very slow, unstable. Most of the time it doesn't even work. Not only that, but it's the only way to get the maximum quality out of it. The device itself is hard to configure with OBS Studio and it doesn't come with a configuration that you can directly use in other recording software to instantly get the max quality. If they made a software for Linux that allows you to instantly record at max quality without crashing all the time, it would be 5/5, but right now it's very cumbersome. ## Frequently Bought Together - AVerMedia 4K Capture Card for Streaming,1440p120 Video Capture Device for PS5/Pro, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PC, compatible with Twitch, OBS, Windows, Mac - GC551G2 Live Gamer Extreme 3 - EMEET NOVA 4K Webcam for PC - Ultra 4K HD, PDAF Autofocus, Dual Noise-Cancelling Mics, 73° FOV, Auto Light Correction, USB-A, Privacy Cover, Ideal for High-End Business Meetings&Live Streaming - FIFINE USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone for Podcast Recording, PC Computer Gaming Streaming Mic with RGB Light, Mute Button, Headphones Jack, Desktop Stand, Vocal Mic for Singing YouTube-AmpliGame AM8 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/460891464-gc551g2-live-gamer-extreme-3-plug-and-play-4k-capture](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/460891464-gc551g2-live-gamer-extreme-3-plug-and-play-4k-capture) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
