Question / Help Capture card/Webcam causing FPS drops in OBS

Hello,

I built a new streaming PC yesterday with an i7 4790k with 4gb ddr3 (the 2nd stick didn't work for 8gb as my motherboard has a faulty port so will upgrade soon to a higher one stick) using onboard intel HD GFX. I bought the Avermedia capture HD card and it struggles to stream at 60fps down scaled to 720p. When i also add a video source of my webcam on it than lowers the FPS further to arround 22fps-24fps.

I'm currently at work so once I get home in a few hours I will post a log of the streaming PC as the capture card has a HDMI cable into my GFX card in my gaming pc.

my preset is set at veryfast with 60fps but still can't even keep a solid 60fps as the monitor the stream pc runs on is only 60hz. I do get tearing on my game monitor when it's been cloned for the capture card, any assistance would be greatly appreciated i'm out of idea on what to do as i've been reading so many posts about this issue..

my game pc monitors are also 144hz, the left side monitor is not affected that hasn't been cloned only the main middle monitor is affected but in game experience feels no fps issues, only on OBS massive FPS drops on the stream pc.
