AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra Reviews

Great Product

By Chris
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2020-05-13

This product works very well and comes with a video editing software license and another AVerMedia program to keep drivers up to date. My only word of advice is to look up this product on the AVerMedia website and make sure your computer meets all of the requirements. It requires USB 3.1 to function at all which may not be on some older devices.
