Key takeaways

Rough session

Stutters cost a noticeable share of the playtime.

74 stutters (239 slow frames including 80 freezes) · 33.4 s lost

Main cause: Game computation (215 occurrences). The worst stretch cost 2.4 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.
