LGR - AVerMedia Live Gamer Extreme - Capture Device Review

Thanks for the honest review LGR ;)

Did they have the developers of the EXTREME Games make the software? ;)

Descriptions, manuals, who reads them ;-) Thanks, I am jamming to these great beats now.

Yeah, noticed that in a video. Doesn't really seem like optimal way to spread ink with some guns, but that's just personal opinion. Motions controls rarely make much sense for me, but this time they kinda hit sweet spot I needed to enjoy this genre without a mouse.

Hehe, man I turned those off immediately, it was too much of a change! But it is quite accurate.

And I found gyro controls addictive too. I never played FPS/TPS games on consoles, only on PC. Analogue camera movement always felt too sluggish for shooter action. Gyro kinda fixed that for me and now I want every other FPS/TPS on consoles to have that feature.

The title of the song is linked to and listed in the video description as usual :)

LGR

Lol! No, what I meant is that the music at the end was awesome! Do you have the title?

That's awesome :)

LGR

Glad to hear it :)

LGR

Too true.

LGR

Yeah it is, it's addictive

LGR

Thanks!

LGR

Same on all accounts. He even got me into liking his Sims vids as I didn't previously watch them.

Heeey, Splatoon! Great game.

ksen

Very solid review

Was this made in collaboration with Head Games? Also, what's the music at the end?

Well definitely after hearing that. I will consider buying the previous version that you reviewed quite some time ago. I think it's great that it captures 60 frames per second although I prefer a reliable device over something that's just going to crap out during it's mainstream features. This is because I also know I would, and that you also test the functionality before eliminating a products reliable functionality by testing first on multiple PC's and making a definitive review or conclusion on a device. Once again I thank you because I referred somebody to use the previos capture device from AVerMedia that you reviewed once before and they are completely happy with it, good review thank you so much and have a nice day :-)

I'm in the same boat as Randall here. I don't do any capturing but I still watch everything you put out LGR. I just love the way you present things. I was not at all interested in AOL either but I watched that video all the way to the end. I also wanted to say great wallpaper on your desktop. I did the same thing when the Fallout 4 site went up.

For streaming, I've never had issues with Avermedia products. It's only with recording I've had audio desync issues in the past, but that's not a Xsplit issue!

LGR

A bit of a shame that the software side is a little half-baked, especially having USB 3 support (which will be a nice upgrade for capturing at 60fps). Maybe that's part of the EXTREMENESS of it all… playing with software on the edge, rather than something solid and (probably) bulletproof :(

Rob Caporetto

How well does it work with XSplit? I've been thinking about picking up a new capture card and don't bother using included software. Last I heard people had audio-desync issues in xsplit with other Avermedia hardware.

Alex McCree

Well I wasn't too interested but then I noticed it's not a typical device it's EXTREME!!!!!!!!!!

Kevin Furr

Adding the word "Extreme" to just about anything PC related, even if you spell it with an X instead of Ex, is usually a bad sign... >_>;

Kris Asick

I have zero need for a capture card but doggone it, somehow LGR sucks me in no matter what the subject
