Logitech C920s webcam randomly dropping frames

Hi there,
I have a Logitech C920 "s" (follow-up model but supposed to have same specs as the C920) which does not want to offer me smooth continuous playback in various applications. It just omits frames irregularly, like 1-5 in a row (3x in a sec, every 2nd sec, etc.). I am almost there saying the freaking camera just can´t do it.. but I saw YT Videos of the C920 that seemed fine.

I tried a lot of things:
- using MJPEG of course is the way to go, it won´t work otherwise
- various capture software on Windows 10 Pro: OBS, VLC, Logitech Capture, Windows Camera
- OBS and VLC on Ubuntu
- used at least 4 different PCs
- new and old Logitech drivers and App
- plugged into USB 2.0 ports
- changed parameters on Cam: deactivated low light compensation and automatic exposure
- lower res (720p) and different fps (25/30)
- counter checking with another webcam, cheapo style does continuous frames but of course the image is bad..

Do you have any more ideas?
This should work, shouldn´t it?

Cheers
