Question / Help OBS Webcam stutters while game works perfectly

Rig:
Gtx1070
i7 6700k
32gb ddr4

Game: Rocket League

I have just gotten into twitch and everything was going well. i have been able to flawlessly stream games from my 4k monitor in its native resolution (downscaled to 720p on twitch). Then today I decided to add in a feed from my logitech webcam. Got a brand new driver and everything. The issue is that as soon as I open the webcam feed while the game is open and running, the webcam suddenly becomes horribly stuttery almost to the point of a slideshow.

Today is my first day adding the webcam and the biggest change I made in between was adding a second monitor. Despite the second monitor, the gameplay still looks absolutely perfect in OBS. It is ONLY the webcam that stutters. When i did things like lower the in-game fps or graphics options, it DID help the issue somewhat. Especailly lowering the in-game fps. But I am so confused because I confidently assumed my rig could handle high quality graphics AND the stream. I even had to lower the game resolution to 1080p! Eventually I opened the webcam outside of obs while running a game and it does the same thing. So it is technically not OBS related.

My question is...Whats the deal? Do i need another to sli another gtx 1070 for more power or am i missing something painfully obvious? Also, side note, my cpu is not even close to hitting its max during this so i know that it is not the issue.

I have a simmular issue where my logitech c920 webcam hangs for a second or two then "catches up" and works again does it every 30-60 seconds. tired all possible settings that i know of to fix the issue and still doing it. Thinking the issues are related to logitech's drivers?

Logitech Drivers are crap, but my c920 works at least fine with the driver from the website.

Also no Log File...

THis is how i ended up fixing my issue. I deleted the directory where the settings where saved and redid my scenes and sources. now my camera works fine.

As PrinceVince said Logitech drivers are horrid. One of the things i have done to fix my issue in the initial trail and error aspect was to roll back my driver. currently using a driver from 2006 vs 2017.

What model is your Logitech Camera?
