Key takeaways

Smooth session

The time lost to stutters stays below the threshold.

76 stutters (103 slow frames including 1 freeze) · 4.4 s lost

Main cause: Game computation (100 occurrences). The worst stretch cost 125 ms of lost frames.

Pace set by the processor

The processor set the pace on 100% of the frames: it decides how many frames per second you get, not the graphics card.
