DX12: FCAT Frame Experience Analysis Hitman Absolution

Hitman 2016  Frame Experience Analysis

Above, the percentile chart of the 31 seconds gaming @ 2560x1440, this is the intro run of the integrated benchmark. Here we plot FPS and place it in relation to percentiles.

• Above 50% percentile of the time measured frames can be considered the average framerate (higher = better).

Once we move and plot the frame-time analysis, the stutters you see are apparant on the two cards tested. 

Each square step above is a scene change indicating a higher/lower framerate. For those that do not understand what you are looking at, the above is a game-time scene recorded for 31 seconds. With this chart, lower = better. Huge spikes above 40 ms to 50 ms can be considered a problem like a stutter or indicate a low framerate. BTW this is DirectX 12 enabled. The massive spikes are scene changes amd stutters, the 4GB card has a bigger effect in the plot. Despite that looking dramatic, it's nothing worrying as this is mostly game engine related.
