AVerMedia Live Gamer HD 2 Capture Card

The second installment of AVerMedia’s celebrated Live Gamer series, the Live Gamer HD 2 Capture Card is a high-performance PCIe capture solution designed for serious streamers, pro gamers, and content creators who demand vivid, uncompressed video and ultra-low latency. This plug-and-play card installs directly into your desktop PC, delivering crisp 1080p60 capture that’s ideal for live streaming on Twitch, YouTube, or social platforms, as well as flawless local recording for post-production. With its robust hardware and streamlined design, LGHD2 helps you deliver broadcast-quality gameplay with minimal setup time and maximum potential for polish in your morning streams, esports broadcasts, or creative projects.

  • Uncompressed 1080p60 capture with zero-latency pass-through: LGHD2 records and streams at full 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second without compressing the video feed, preserving color depth, detail, and motion clarity. The built-in zero-lag HDMI pass-through lets you monitor your gameplay in real time on a separate display, ensuring your stream and your gameplay stay perfectly synchronized from capture to broadcast.
  • Plug-and-play PCIe capture for desktop PCs: Designed for desktop workstations, this PCIe capture card slots into a system motherboard for reliable, low-latency performance. The internal architecture minimizes CPU overhead, making it a solid choice for long streaming sessions, tutorials, and high-intensity gaming with fewer dropped frames and smoother playback on your stream software.
  • Compatibility with popular streaming software: LGHD2 integrates smoothly with leading streaming and recording applications such as OBS Studio, XSplit, Streamlabs, and similar tools. Its uncompressed output gives you maximum flexibility in post-processing and editing, while easy driver support ensures you can quickly configure scenes, sources, and overlays without hassle.
  • HDMI input and pass-through for complete control: The HDMI input captures your console, PC, or other HDMI-enabled device, while the HDMI output provides a clean, zero-lag pass-through to a monitor or TV. This setup is ideal for synchronized live play and broadcast, as you can preview your stream on a separate display without impacting capture performance.
  • Built for creators who demand reliability and quality: AVerMedia engineered the LGHD2 with robust shielding and a streamlined design to minimize interference and maximize stability during long streaming sessions. Its compact, durable form factor fits neatly into most PC builds, helping you maintain an organized, professional-looking content-creation rig with fewer cable tangles and easier maintenance.

This makes it ideal for high-quality streams and recordings with smooth motion and rich detail. You can use it with compatible software to stream at 1080p60 or record locally for later editing.
  • Does the LGHD2 require external power? No. The capture card draws power from the PCIe slot, so no additional power supply is needed for operation in a standard desktop setup.

Mac and Linux compatibility may be limited and depends on driver support and third-party software; for best results, use a Windows PC with OBS Studio or XSplit.

  • Which software works best with the LGHD2? The card is designed to work well with OBS Studio, XSplit, and Streamlabs, among other major capture programs. For most users, OBS Studio paired with a clean scene and the LGHD2 as the video source yields reliable, high-quality results with precise timing and minimal setup.
