Key takeaways

Bad session

Stutters cost a noticeable share of the playtime.

54 stutters (123 slow frames including 25 freezes) · 15.8 s lost

Main cause: Game computation (110 occurrences). The worst stretch cost 5.4 s of lost frames.

Pace set by the processor

The processor set the pace on 99% of the frames: it decides how many frames per second you get, not the graphics card.
