Hello guys,
I have a problem with avermedia live gamer hd and OBS.Before ı was using Windows 7 and 1 Monitor,now ı am using Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit (Original) and two monıtor (duplicated).After install Windows 10,when ı choose avermedia on OBS (video capture),it giving me very low FPS in game,so ıcant play and ı cant streaming clearly.Without Avermedia Live gamer HD (ı choose only game capture) it gives better FPS and ı can streaming clearly.Before ı was using gtx 660,now ı am using gtx 970.Also ı tried steeaming with Recentral (without OBS),it is very playable,there is no low fps.ı think there is stability problem between Avermedia Live gamer HD and OBS.Maybe about Windows 10..maybe about multiple monitor..ı dunno..ı tried windowed screen,full screen,nothing change..Also ı installed Avermedia live gamer hd stream engine and ı selected it on OBS,nothing change.By the way,ı am using 32 bit OBS (tried 64 bit..its same)..What can ı do?

Srry for my bad english.Thx.

Capture cards should only be used in two computer setups, or one console and one computer. If you're using the capture card in the same computer that you're gaming on, poor performance is expected, because you're doing it wrong. Game capture is actually better on a single computer, and a capture card shouldn't be used.

The answer is simple. You dont need the capture card, it will give you worse quality than game capture can give you while using a single PC. So you can just throw the Avermedia into a corner and use it for actual HDMI capture (console, camera, BIOS recording) or with a 2PC setup.
Windows 10 is actually pretty well done, it is even faster than Win7 in some workloads.
So our tipp is: drop the Avermedia card and just try to record the actual game with the game capture, using x264 (if your CPU is powerful enough) or NVenc (cause your 970 can do it). Try it. Then you can compare the performance to what you get from the capture card.
