Mathematical Definition of Frametime Jitter

Frametime jitter (σ) is defined as the root-mean-square deviation of individual frame intervals (Δt) from the mean frametime (μ):

σ = √( (1 / N) × ∑ (Δt_i - μ)² )

A jitter score below 0.30ms represents esports-grade frame pacing (Grade S+). A jitter score between 0.30ms and 1.20ms represents standard gaming stability. Any score above 2.00ms produces visible micro-stutters and input inconsistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Technical answers to common hardware, refresh rate, and browser diagnostic questions.

What causes micro-stuttering on high-end PCs?

Micro-stuttering is usually caused by GPU driver shader compilation spikes, Windows background processes stealing CPU thread priority, erratic frametime pacing, or mismatch between monitor refresh rate and game framerate limits.

How do I achieve flat, jitter-free frametimes?

To achieve a flat frametime line: (1) Cap your game framerate 3 FPS below your monitor's maximum Hz (e.g. 141 FPS on 144Hz) using in-game caps or RTSS, (2) Enable G-Sync/FreeSync alongside V-Sync in GPU driver control panel, and (3) Enable NVIDIA Reflex or AMD Anti-Lag.
