Avermedia GC573 issues and general dual PC problems.
Hi fellas. So I have been facing several issues with this capture card since the day I got it pretty much. Passthrough at 1440p 144hz causing some tearing (on my main monitor), the signal in OBS eventually freezes or presents frame drops. In addition, I have tried screen projection with OBS and still, there is noticeable frame dropping going on.
Screen clonign does somehow allow me to use DP and avoid the tearing, BUT, I get input lag and the games freezes upon tabbing in and out.
Moonlight so far seems like the most stable way to utilize between 2 PCs, BUT, at the cost of framerate in games.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Could you post the following:
1. Your PC specs for both the gaming and streaming PC's (CPU, GPU, monitor that you're gaming on)
2. Can you post an OBS log where you had these issues occur
Hi and sorry for the delay
1. Game rig "9700k, 1070, 16GB ram 1440p 240hz" , stream rig "6700k, 2060"
Basically after a point the card just makes a major tear and freezes.

I cloned the capture card which helped with framerates and all, but as I said, it does a major freezing after a while.
That log doesn't have any recordings or streams done in it - do the issues happen even when you're not recording or streaming?
Also have you tried updating the firmware / drivers for the capture card?
`Yes everything is updated.
I haven't noticed it, because I only turn it on when about to stream.

No outputs in that one either

How..
š¦
Damn, I have no clue why.
What time did you last stream or record something
a few hours ago
For the video capture device sources you're using, how are they laid out? As in do you have that source in two different scenes?
yes
One for main scene one for just chatting
same source tho
not like "capture1" and "capture 2"
I think at least
let me check
In the logs I'm seeing two different sources of
Video Capture Device 1 and Video Capture Device 2
Can you try doing this:lemme check every scene
does it say in which one?
I have a few
I'll find it nvm, go on.

- Make a new scene
- Create a video capture source in that scene for your capture card
- In every other scene where you used the capture source (should be your
In-game and Just Chatting scenes) delete the video capture device and replace it with a nested scene sourceAlright I will do that. Do you believe,l that might fix the issue with the tearing of death?
As I like to call it.
It should, my guess is that pulling the capture card in twice is causing some contention issues
Also other question, you have a game capture source on the streaming PC - what is it for?
