AVerMedia Live Gamer Bolt is an awesome 4K HDR external capture card

AVerMedia is back with an excellent new external capture card that is capable of recording 4K HDR footage as well as 240 frames per second at 1080p. The AVerMedia Live Gamer Bolt is basically an external version of the Live Gamer 4K, which is still great. Live Gamer Bolt launches this month for $450.

The Live Gamer Bolt is one of the first external cards capable of recording 4K HDR at 60 frames per second. It can do this because it works exclusively through a Thunderbolt 3 port. Thunderbolt 3 is capable of a 40Gb/s transfer speed. It’s also the port that eGPUs use when connecting to laptops. That bandwidth enables the Live Gamer Bolt to push through the required video data to capture a full 4K frame 60 times every second at bitrates up to 240Mbps.
