Question / Help Webcam lowering CSGO fps while streaming

[drakky]

Hey, Google isn't really helping me on this one, I think.

Here is my issue:

When I stream with webcam on, my FPS gets lowered by about 50ish in CSGO which gives a noticeable choppiness on my screen.

But when I try to stream without webcam enabled in OBS, I regain about 50ish FPS and the game is a lot smoother.

So...to conclude:
~250 fps while streaming
~200 fps while streaming with webcam, gives a slight choppiness

The "Enable View" option in OBS window is off.

Computer specs:

Intel i5-2500k Sandy Bridge, overclocked to 4.2GHz
GeForce GTX 760 2GB
Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920
Two monitors connected to the same computer.

OBS settings:

Encoder: Nvidia NVENC
Use CBR: Checked
Max Bitrate and Buffer Size: 3100
Resolution: 1920x1080
Resolution Downscale: 1.50
FPS: 40
Disable Aero: Not checked
NVENC Preset: High Quality Low Latency (2pass)



Any idea? Thanks.

Alright well it would appear I've solved the issue.

All I had to do was lower the webcam resolution and set the output format to MJPG in Device properties.

and there it is, no more choppiness while streaming.
