Avermedia Live Gamer C985 60fps Fix

When the Avermedia C985 Capture card was first released, the streaming community was overjoyed at its amazing ability to happily pump out 720p at 60 frames per second.

As Avermedia improved their own software, the driver itself took on a few rewrites and over time decided to start causing low FPS for some users (myself included).

Avermedia Technical Support reply with the standard:  "Your PC may not be fast enough", or "Make sure you have the latest updates installed on your system".  These replies were not helpful for me personally, and I decided to try one last thing before chucking my capture cards in the bin.

The Avermedia Live Gamer Drivers included on the setup disk are old, outdated and cause a number of issues when used with newer Operating Systems like Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 and the newly released Windows 10.

However, I did find a version of the driver that works perfectly, runs at 60 frames per second and looks fantastic!

The version of the driver is: 3.3.64.42

How to Install the 60fps Driver

Install the old version of the driver.

We are not allowed to upload the old version of the driver to our website.  However, if you check out Avermedia downloads, this version may still exist.
