Key takeaways

Rough session

Stutters cost a noticeable share of the playtime.

506 stutters (1906 slow frames including 507 freezes) · 237.1 s lost

Main cause: Game computation. The worst stretch cost 3.0 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.
