There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I bought this to record workstation demos for clients; software-only recorders are not reliable under high CPU loads, and this will record independently to a MicroSD card (U3, V30 or better).
I cannot find an English manual for this thing. There is a FAQ, but a proper manual is missing from both the box and the web site. This is important, because there are some "magic button" combos that you will have to figure out by trial and error without it-- including some very frustrating things like "headset mute".
Some information you may find helpful:
YES, it records HD (1920x1080) video at high framerates.
NO, it will not record 4K video.
YES, it will reliably run under power from a normal (500mA) USB-A port. (The manufacturer suggests bringing a USB power bank along if you're using a laptop, which is actually not a bad idea.)
YES, it really will record totally independently of the host system; all it needs is power and an HDMI connection. There is a big glowing button you whack to start and stop it-- that's it.
YES, it will also work as an OBS Studio device (one video capture device that also brings in audio; you don't need a separate audio connection).
YES, it will record HDMI audio. However, the levels are a little low.
YES, the headset jack is 4-position (TRRS) 3.5mm, supporting a microphone. If the mic doesn't seem to work, hold each of the volume buttons down for a few seconds until the mute clears.
YES, you can hear the HDMI audio passthrough in the monitoring headset.
YES, you can hear your own headset mic in the headset. It is, in my opinion, way too loud relative to the HDMI video, so you may want to move the boom out a bit.
YES, there is a mode to use it as a glorified card reader. This was done so that you didn't need to load and unload cards all the time-- I suggest USING IT THAT WAY, and taping over the card slot once the card is installed.
YES, there are some low-latency drivers available; NO, you don't have to use them. The issue is a little complicated; see the website.
When used as a standalone capture device, the native format is ".MOV".
The device is physically quite a bit smaller than I expected, and quite light. Build quality is good.
Grab one. I couldn't find anything else that was even close for twice the price.
One aspect that impressed me the most is the high frame rate (HFR) support. It delivers incredibly smooth and fluid motion during recordings and streams, making the gameplay look incredibly immersive. There's no jarring or stuttering, even during fast-paced action scenes. It truly elevates the viewing experience for my audience.
Setting up the GC551G2 was a breeze. With its multiple input options, including HDMI 2.0 and USB 3.0, connecting it to my Xbox Series X was quick and hassle-free. The user-friendly software provided by AVerMedia made the entire process straightforward, and I was able to start recording and streaming in no time. The software's compatibility with popular streaming platforms allowed me to effortlessly share my gaming adventures with my audience.
Another great feature of the GC551G2 is its audio mixing capabilities. Being able to balance the game audio and my microphone input right within the capture card itself was a huge convenience. 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. The performance and features it provides easily rival some of the higher-priced options on the market.
Lastly, I must mention the Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support. This feature synchronizes the refresh rate of my captured footage with the frame rate of the game, resulting in tear-free recordings and streams. The smoothness it brings to the table is impressive, enhancing the overall quality of my content.
In conclusion, the AVerMedia GC551G2 Game Capture Card is a dependable choice for next-gen console gamers seeking seamless gameplay recording and streaming. With its impressive 4K HDR pass-through, HFR support, low latency, and versatile features like audio mixing and VRR, it delivers exceptional performance. The user-friendly setup and competitive pricing make it an attractive option for gamers looking to create content without breaking the bank.
Top reviews from other countries
This product greatly exceeded my expectations! If you’re looking for a capture card that won’t break the bank, this is the one you want.
Pros:
- Small device
- Streams flawlessly in HD
- Very easy to setup (only took me about 15 minutes)
- Works awesome with Streamlabs OBS and other popular streaming software
- No noticeable lag
- Great price for the quality
- High quality sound output
Cons:
- Included HDMI cable could have a longer cord. You’ll need a longer one if you’re not placing the device right next to your setup.
- No included instructions (although they’re very easy to find via Google)
So glad I bought this! If you’re just getting into streaming or want to upgrade from a cheap capture device, pick this one.
(I’ll be editing my review six months from now to provide feedback on long-term use.)
Took me a few minutes to figure out how to get it set up in OBS, but once I did it was smooth sailing. First, I created a new scene, then added "video capture device" & "audio input capture". Once you name your sources and move to the next screen, the Avermedia device will be available to select. When you first plug the device in by USB, it sets itself up automatically, no extra driver downloads needed.
We'll see how long it lasts; on its own, it's a bit light.
