    I'm trying out the camspace app from the gaming forum and the FX's webcam is performing pretty poorly; I'm only getting 7-8 FPS. I opened up the Gateway Camera Assistant software and found a framerate control in the "settings" menu. However, the FPS was capped at 7. Is there a way to release the cap, or is this a hardware limitation?

    Thanks!

    Also under the settings menu is an option to change resolution...

    the lower you go, the higher your FPS cap will be, i.e. 320x240 will give you a max of 30 fps.

    the camera sucks tho. let that be said.

    Aha. Thank you very much. I should have thought of that.

    And I'm still not allowed to give you rep. Stupid spreading rule...
