Key takeaways

Rough session

Stutters cost a noticeable share of the playtime.

39 stutters (95 slow frames including 29 freezes) · 15.2 s lost

Main cause: Game computation (91 occurrences). The worst stretch cost 5.5 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.
