I can confirm this capture card works well with Nintendo Switch 2. It allows for HDR output and there is also zero latency when using the HDMI pass-through port. The image and video capture quality is great as well. I have no complaints here.

Generally I do not write reviews for most things I buy on Amazon...but when I have a really positive experience I will take the time to do so because I want others to know that this is a safe product to purchase and I personally have had a great experience with it.First, I have used an Elgato HD60 Pro for a few years and they make a great product. Its always worked perfectly so long as I game on a 1080P monitor. My one issue though has been that this card could not deal with my 1440P/144Hz monitor making it difficult to stream without making compromises. When the 4K cards started showing up on the market I was sure that Elgato would come to the rescue and of course they did. At $400 its probably worth it. BUT then I ran into this gem. The Avermedia LiveGamer 4K at $299! I have had an Avermedia card in the past that I returned for poor performance so I was a little nervous about picking up this card. But for $100 off I figured I could always return it if it didn't perform well. I'm so glad I made this decision.The LiveGamer 4K works perfectly and I can finally have lag free 1440P 144Hz gaming while dumping all of the output to my streaming PC and right through the game capture. The LiveGamer 4K handles everything perfectly, doesn't get overly warm, and just works. I didn't even install anything but the drivers for the card (apparently you used to have to install their software to get the drivers but it is now available as a separate driver only download). I just dont see a reason to spend an extra $100 for the Elgato...at least in my setup.The LiveGamer 4K came well packaged, and included the HDMI 2.0 cable that I needed....though if your gaming PC and your streaming PC are far apart you'll need to make sure to pick up a longer one that meets that specification. The card was extremely simple to install and the drivers were easily available on Avermedia's site. I was up and running in no more than 5 minutes. There are no "settings" to make. Just pop open OBS or whatever you're using and it just shows up as a video capture device. On the Gaming PC I simply went into NVidia Control Panel and made sure the capture card showed 2560x1440 @ 144Hz and duplicated from the main display....that was literally it.So if you're in my situation looking for a way to send your gaming PC video to your streaming/recording PC at full resolution and frame-rate then this card will do the trick.

I realize that this is an HDMI capture card, so it kinda goes without saying that you can't capture a lot of retro game systems, but if you are using an OSSC, be aware that you may have some issues getting it to work with this card. I typically use 5x scaling on the OSSC, but that doesn't seem to be compatible with this card. Maybe I could get it to work, but the Elgato HD60 Pro already works perfectly with it, so if the OSSC is your main concern, get that instead. I'd bet this card works fine with the Framemeister, though.Having said that, for everything modern, this capture card is fantastic. My primary interest in this card was to allow me to play PS4 Pro games on my TV in 4K HDR with surround sound while still streaming at 720p SDR with stereo sound. The HD60 Pro I was using not only required me to switch to 1080p SDR, but it also doesn't downmix the surround sound, so the capture just sounds wrong. The center channel was completely missing, so viewers wouldn't get dialog or a lot of other critical sounds. No more! The Avermedia takes the 4K HDR input and converts it into a 4K SDR signal as well as downmixing the surround audio into stereo. All I have to do is downscale it to 720p in OBS and it's good to go! Easy setup, no hassle to use, and the quality is excellent. The OSSC incompatibilities are my only gripe with this card, but I still have the Elgato for that, so whatever.

This was a game changer. My previous card gave me all kinds of issues, this one works perfectly.
