How to set up the AVerMedia GC573 capture card for use with Tipsy Aim
Power off your second PC and open the case. Insert the GC573 into a free PCIe x4 slot (or larger. x8 and x16 slots work too). Secure it with the bracket screw. This is an internal card, so it sits inside your second PC, not your gaming PC.
Boot up your second PC. Windows might auto-detect the card, but you should install the official drivers for best performance. Head to the AVerMedia support page and download the latest driver package for the GC573. Run the installer and reboot when prompted.
You can also optionally install RECentral (AVerMedia's capture software) if you want to test the feed before using Tipsy Aim, but it's not required.
Run an HDMI cable from your gaming PC's GPU to the HDMI IN port on the GC573.
Gaming PC GPU HDMI Out → GC573 HDMI IN
Unlike external capture cards, the GC573 does not have a passthrough HDMI out. Your gaming monitor connects directly to your gaming PC via a separate display output (e.g., DisplayPort or a second HDMI port on the GPU). The GC573 captures a duplicate of the signal.
On your gaming PC, go to Display Settings and set the GC573 output to Duplicate (mirror) your main display. This way the GC573 receives the same image your monitor shows. We highly recommend setting the duplicated display to 1080p 240fps. anything above 1080p will add more delay and/or lower FPS and/or lower FPS.
Open Tipsy Aim on your second PC. Go to Settings and select the GC573 from the Capture Device dropdown. Hit Refresh if it doesn't appear right away. We highly recommend 1080p 240fps with capture format set to NV12. Anything above 1080p will add more delay.
Launch a game on your gaming PC. The game feed should come through in Tipsy Aim on your second PC. If the feed is black, make sure the duplicate display is set up correctly and the HDMI cable is connected to the right GPU output.
