New pc but crazy low fps?

[Metal_Bat]

So I just got a new laptop and the first day I cammed in HD just fine at like 25-30 fps. The next day it took at dive from like 4-15 which is pretty unacceptable. My specs are really good, I play games on like 130 fps. My net is like 200mbps down and 30mbps up. I updated my drivers for the cam so I dont know what else it could be..I cam with a logitech c930e by the way. Any ideas?

I've always had FPS issues with my C930, which is a shame because I prefer it in a lot of ways to the C920. My solution has been to switch cameras. Nothing else has fully resolved it for me. But maybe someone else has a better answer, because I'd love to hear it as well!

I remember seeing you were on CB. Back when I was on CB I had the same issues (I have the 920 though) sometimes its just the site.... I have similar issues on SM now sometimes

Well I tried to get on cam4 just see if my fps would be better there and the cam just straight up froze.

The firmware on Logitech C930e is pretty shotty.

The only recommendations I can suggest would be to turn off the right light, change the video format (MJPG seems to be the strongest), and turn off any automatic modes.

Can I change the format within cb or is that an external setting?

http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/webcam-c930e-business/downloads has a firmware upgrade and camera settings application you can download.

I know that some use OBS (Open Broadcasting Software).

Otherwise, it would just be an external/webcam specific setting.

Woah, we need to update our webcam software too?

CB literally just launched OBS capabilities last night so it's worth a shot. Thank you man! I hope this works. It'd be better than getting a new cam.

Yup! Gotta stay on top of everything if you want that high quality Apparently standard definition makes everyone flaccid

Let me know how it goes!

OBS hopefully rocks.
