So ive been having issues with streaming for a while and i think im starting to realize something. I ended up doing some "no cam" streams because i wanted to just chill out for that day and what not. When i did this i had better frames in obs than ever and it was running crazy smooth. Even on the harder games to run. The next day i go to play that same game again, game being The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and i had my webcam on, and whaddaya know. my frames start to fluctuate like a *****. So i decided hmmmmmmm what if i turned my webcam off for a sec... and there you have it i was streaming perfectly fine with a steady 60 fps. So is there anything i can do to my webcam or at all to fix this. I would like to stream more but ive had this issue for almost a year now is pretty much preventing me from doing so. i would prefer to stream with my webcam on but i cant hardly get good frames in obs when playing certain games. for example i have to lower almost all my settings to almost the lowest in the Witcher 3 to stream it and i have to do the same with many other games. One more thing, i dont think this is the main issue with my frames dropping while streaming but it one of them.

if you want to talk more to me msg me on discord Tshadow4646#5465 abt my other problems with frames and/or just comment on this

Also my specs for those wondering:
GTX 1060 6GB
Gigabyte Z170x-Gaming 7
i7 6700k
16 GBs of DDR4 ram
i think thats about it.
