Game Frametime Analysis GPU
The charts below show you graphics anomalies like stutters and glitches in a plotted chart: frame time and pacing measurements.

| 70 | 14 |
- FPS mostly measures performance, the number of frames rendered per passing second.
- Frametime AKA Frame Experience recordings mostly measure and expose anomalies - here, we look at how long it takes to render one frame. Measure that chronologically, and you can see anomalies like peaks and dips in a plotted chart, indicating something could be off.
We have a detailed article (read here) on the methodology behind it all. Basically, the time it takes to render one frame can be monitored and tagged with a number; this is latency. One frame can take, say, 17 ms. Higher latency can indicate a slow framerate, and weird latency spikes indicate a stutter, jitter, twitches; basically, anomalies that are visible on your monitor. These measurements show anomalies like small glitches and stutters that you can sometimes (and please do read that well, sometimes) see on screen. Below I'd like to run through a couple of titles with you. Bear in mind that Average FPS often matters more than frame time measurements.
Please understand that a lower frame time is a higher FPS, so for these charts, lower = better. Huge spikes would be stutters, thick lines would be bad frame pacing, and the graduate streamlining is framerate variation. As you might have observed, we're experimenting a bit with our charts and methodology. Below is the game at Ultra HD, with image quality settings as used throughout this review.
For our test run, we'll fire off a 30-second scene at 2560x1440 pixels in three scenarios; below the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti:
The frame times reveal a lot of frame pacing issues, not perse stutters. There's a lot to be improved here in the game engine. The Radeon cards will reveal the very same pattern.
Above the same data set, however, is now plotted as FPS. The RTX 4070 Ti can hit as low as 42 FPS and then hit 90 FPS a few seconds later.
