Recently I've been having a similar issue with Windows 10 updates happening while I'm trying to play a game. Also, the Oculus software seems to like to update while I'm gaming which is also slowing down my PC and pissing me off. Part of the issue with the oculus software is that it sits on the same hard drive as the game I like to play the most. Oculus software will update and PEG the drive usage to 100% which ends up causing slow gameplay and choppy frame rates. I typically just let it finish and get back to my game when the update is done.

What version of windows are you using? Have you opened task manager to try to figure out what is eating up your system (if anything).

Did you change the power profile? By your description it sounds like your CPU is in some kind of low power mode...

I just fixed my stream with high CPU usage, now I'm running 720p 60 fps with 60-70% usage on i7 4790k. What I did was lower my cam's resolution as mine has selected a stupid high resolution, I set mine to 800-600 and instant went from 100% to 60-70%
