Question / Help OBS Studio Frame Rate Drop Monitor (like classic)?

I started using OBS studio the past couple weeks. It works great, it's SO much better than classic. I did run into one problem.

Is there a way to tell the % of dropped frames or have a color readout like OBS classic?

I did forum searches, but all I found of threads asking to fix performance, I couldn't find anything about the counter or color monitor "box". I had a video that got stuttery in spots and I'm trying to find out why.
Thanks.

The counter is at the bottom of the window just like it was in OBS Classic, though there isn't a green/yellow/red indicator to go along with it.

So if I don't have a counter listed, I didn't drop any?
In the lower right I've got recording length, CPU use, FPS counter (locked at 60). I don't see a dropped frame counter specifically.

Because you're recording and not streaming?
Well that explains it, haha. I do appreciate the help.

It's been awhile since I used OBS and I haven't streamed with studio yet. I thought it still used the meter in case you had issues recording the frames. I'm trying to figure out the best bitrate for recording 1080p 60fps with action games. I guess the meter isn't where to look.
