Can someone give me a better understanding of the following information in the OBS Status Bar:

In particular, what is the exact meaning of the two FPS numbers?

Thanks,
Dave

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I want to clarify that I fully understand what "FPS" means. What I'm trying to understand is the meaning behind each displayed number.

nominator is actual value
denominator is target value

I don't understand it either. So, looked into the code, but didn't found exact PR or modification. I was unable to find the corresponding commit because project files were rearranged in a bad way. It surely was somewhere in the "UI/window-basic-status-bar.cpp" file.
Previous holly wars for this part of UI were here: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/8950

Thanks very much for this...I've been puzzled by the two numbers for a long time. It would be nice if there was a tool tip in the UI on these status bar indicators for people like me who are not using OBS heavily.

Taking a cue from your response, I looked into the current code (I probably should have done that to begin with) and found this in
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/frontend/widgets/OBSBasicStatusBar.cpp:

QString text = QString::asprintf("%.2f / %.2f FPS", obs_get_active_fps(), targetFPS);

So this would confirm it is "active value / target value" FPS.
