When using cam on skype, it somehow loweres my pc`s performance..

Hey everyone, i got a problem with my pc, when i play a game, 144hz work fine, but when i enable webcam on skype and wanna have skype on my second monitor, it suddantly gets laggy and feels like 60hz or something in my games but my fps is somewhat not affected, i use displayport, and have enabled 144hz in windows settings, and then, if i wanna fix it, i need to either restart the game, og restart the computer, for an hour ago, i tried removing my second monitor, and that somehow solved my problem a little, . :(

Check Task Manager and see exactly what causes it. 

 

You are rendering your camera, and two monitors

skype is a terrible potato, you're not the first person i hear this story from, and i've yet to hear of a solution to make skype less of a laggy piece of 87% chocolate.

my skype no longer does group calls, the group call system still works, but it is "invisible" as i cannot see i'm in a call, nor can i see who i'm in a call with.

 

at that point i was like "screw this" xD

It's related to how frame displaying is handled when an application is not fullscreen.

I know Rocket League is exclusive fullscreen. It might just be Windows being Windows as it's far bitchier about frame pacing and v-sync when there's more than one monitor than with just one.

its not the same, sharing screen does take alot of fps and performance in games, webcam shouldnt
