AVerMedia Live Gamer MINI (GC311)

A beginner-tier USB capture card handling 1080p60 capture and passthrough — a true budget, plug-and-play option. Best for newcomers capturing 1080p gameplay without opening their PC or spending much. Don't expect 4K or high-refresh passthrough here; this is squarely a 1080p60 entry device, positioned as a non-Genki budget pick.
