Question / Help 60 fps recording / Framerate Issues + Occasional Logitec Camera Freakout

[RCScookiE]

Hello,
I stream/record Smash Bros Melee tournaments professionally, and I'm having trouble configuring the new computer build I have to work correctly.

My capture card is an Avermedia C-199B PCIe card. It lists in OBS Studio a capability of 59.94 FPS. Respectively I set the overall output to 59.94 as well. However I can see a significat drop in frames. The last most log in the attached set even lists the following for my most recent recording:

```
23:21:56.815: Output 'adv_file_output': Total encoded frames: 1936
23:21:56.815: Output 'adv_file_output': Total drawn frames: 1938
23:21:56.815: Output 'adv_file_output': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 485 (25.1%)
23:21:56.816: Output 'adv_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 66 (3.4%)
```
Here is the last recording the above represents:

Additionally, my logitec 1080p C615 freaks out and pixelates like crazy.
This hasn't happened recently but it is enough of a problem that needs to be addressed. An example of this problem can be seen in the below video:

Hello,
Additionally, my logitec 1080p C615 freaks out and pixelates like crazy.

My C615 was not pixelating but would freeze up on a regular and no amount of tweaking would fix it. I switched to a 9000 pro and that cleared it up. I think it has something to do with the C615. No word back from logitec on the problem.

I replaced it with a C525 recently and it continues to pixel. But only on OBS/Studio. I opened it in VLC player and it was fine.

Additionally I have an update. I changed the encoder settings to Superfast and I get a steady framerate, but my capture tends to get blurry once in a while.
I have a log attached with multiple attempts at streaming, recording , and both.
Any way I can make this crispier?

Try to lower the webcam resolution to 640 x 360. That will ease the load on the system. In the upper left position it doesn't require full 720p to be a 1:1 fit into the overall scene.

I'll definitely try this for the webcam.

I actually reloaded my Operating System and it's since fixed the encoding issues for the game. But the webcam problems still persist.
