Question / Help 2 Avermedia Cards?

[ImSallad]

I've been using OBS with a live gamer portable to stream and then a elgato to record while I stream but the elgato was just using way to much of my CPU and lagging my streams!
So I bought a live gamer HD as I know avermedia cards are great for putting less stress on your CPU.

I now have a Live gamer HD and Live gamer portable but the software only allows for 1 card even though you have the option to choose from two...

Is there a way I can use both cards for my streams/recording?

If you are talking about the included encoder in some avermedia devices, that cannot be used with OBS. A capture card by itself will not reduce stress on your CPU but instead increase resource usage on your system.

You normally, in theory, should be able to add both to OBS just fine, select the LGP using the Stream Engine, and the LG HD directly.
