now here is an interesting thing - its way way faster on a win7 machine than the win8 one, very similar specs. I get 31.5fps on win7 and only 14.6fps in windows 8 using the new V2 driver using sharpcap 1.50344
Funny thing is that mine runs even faster in a windows VM on my macbook pro.

I noticed this when I switched from using different laptops. Both very similar specs. There are allot of variables with windows machines, the hardware configurations have differences. Different bus, chipset, driver etc, all have minor differences. You'll mostly notice differences when certain hardware is pushing particular protocols to their absolute limits - in this case, that is USB 2.0. Any overhead (be it software or hardware inconsistencies) will have a noticeable impact to throughput.
