For AverMedia GC573 (higher latency than Elgato 4K Pro):

1920x1080p @ 240 fps
1280x720 @ 144/240 fps
720x480 @ 240 fps

For Elgato 4K Pro:

1920x1080 @ 239 fps
1280x720 @ 239 fps
800x800 @ 239 fps
720x480 @ 239 fps
360p @ 239 fps

Lower resolutions feel similar; 720p is a sweet spot, but 480p also works well.
