What is frame pacing?
Frame pacing describes how evenly a game delivers frames over time.
QUICK EXPLANATION
Look for uneven frame intervals
If frames arrive in a regular rhythm, motion tends to look consistent. A pause followed by several quick frames can feel like stutter even when the average FPS looks high.
Average FPS alone can hide short stalls and inconsistent frame delivery.
Result: A frame-time graph without repeated sharp spikes is one sign of steadier pacing.
How to check it
Check for background downloads, shader compilation, overheating or a repeatable game-specific scene before changing graphics settings. Change one factor at a time.
Check: Replay the same section and compare frame-time behavior, not just the average.
