FCAT Frame Experience Analysis - Hitman Absolution

Hitman Absolution Frame Experience Analysis

Above, a percentile chart of the 30 seconds @ 2560x1440. Here we plot FPS and place it in relation to percentiles. This methodology could be used to determine average FPS as well.

Check the 50% marker:

• R7-265 does roughly 32 FPS on average in this scene sequence

But now let's look at frame latency.

On this 30 second run all graphics cards manage to remain at a very constant rendering flow with fairly low latency for the two fastest cards. We cannot detect any noticeable anomalies like glitches and stutters. This is a very good result really. Nothing of concern whatsoever.

For those that do not understand what you are looking at, the above is a scene rendered, the first 30 seconds of the Hitman integrated benchmark. 

With this chart, lower = better. Huge spikes above 40-50ms can be considered a problem like a stutter or indicate a low framerate. For all three cards this is a near perfect result. One tiny drop, but nothing significant.

And again an FPS plot, pretty much throughout the scene recording we stay at 30 FPS or above in 2560x1440, very nice for this budget card.
