It's also a small and stylish unit, measuring just 120mm in width and weighing 115 grams, with a large RGB light strip running across its center. With recording capabilities of up to 4K 60 FPS, the AVerMedia Live Gamer ULTRA 2.1 is also a versatile capture card that supports a wide range of resolutions and aspect ratios, as well as 5.1 audio. It also supports a wide range of color formats, including RGB24.

There's no onboard recording to SD card with this one, so you'll need to pair it with software like OBS or AVerMedia's RECentral app. Connecting to a PC or compatible laptop is handled via USB-C, which also delivers power to the unit. As part of AVerMedia's Black Friday Deals, the Live Gamer ULTRA 2.1 is on sale for $169.99 at Amazon, representing a massive 43% discount from its $299.99 MSRP.
