Hello,

Sorry about my bad english but I have a problem. I have a C922 pro and when I put my webcam resolution @1920*1080 an play a game. My FPS on OBS shutdown (60 to 25/26)... it's verry ugly on my stream. In my game, i don't have any laag, the lost is only on OBS.

My stream resolution is 720p 60 fps.

When I put off the webcam, I come back to 60 fps and stable.

My CPU is not verry use => 19% or 20 max when i'm streaming... I7-9700k

If I don't diffuse (just try it off stream), the FPS don't drop. It's only when I put the stream ON.

Any answer? :p

Please save me, I want to show my face to the world when I play :p

My resolution is 1920x1080, but my out resolution is 720 60 fps. If I drop my webcam resolution to 720, the quality of my face is not good.

Can you post the log file of a previous stream where this happened? C922's can be a bit finicky if certain settings aren't met between the camera and OBS, specifically when it comes to framerate options.

Also, the quality between 720p and 1080p for a C922 is not going to be noticeable -- the sensor area is just sampled at a lower resolution, so if you're not zooming in to the webcam at all, going above 720p is going to be useless (plus, even at 1080p it is NOT a sharp 1080p -- the image quality is really more like you would expect from upscaled 720p).

Btw, the C922 is able to do 60fps if you set 720p, auto-exposure, no low-light, and set the framerate to "highest"... but that's more of a side note to the actual issue right now.
