Question / Help Blinking bitrate in OBS

PINHEAD49

Member
Hello guys.
I don't know what it is but the box at the right bottom corner in obs, where the current bitrate is, is blinking green/yellow. I can even set a lower bitrate, but it doesn't help. My average uploadspeed is 2.3 MB (tested few times on testmy.net).

It's only blinking if i capture something. If the screen is black it seems okay. Any idea?

My specs:
i5 2500k @ 4.4GHz (60% max cpu usage while streaming, even tested "veryfast" x264 preset)
Asus GTX 660 TI
8gb ram
1.9 mb set in obs
