Key takeaways

Bad session

Stutters cost a noticeable share of the playtime.

7 stutters (30 slow frames including 15 freezes) · 9.2 s lost

Main cause: Game computation (23 occurrences). The worst stretch cost 7.5 s 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.
