Frametime Analysis

We present a more in-depth analysis than just average FPS to show how the frame rate changes over time, which helps highlight FPS drops. Minimum FPS at both the 95th and 99th percentile are reported in these charts, too. A second chart, a histogram, shows shape and spread for the frametime data—how tightly grouped the measurements are. The "IQR" result is called "Interquartile Range," which is an outlier-resistant statistical value that tells us the range in the middle of the frametime distribution.

Location: Baldur's Gate City






Testing Baldur's Gate 3 reveals a noticeable performance gap between the two memory kits. For this benchmark, we used Baldur's Gate City, a highly CPU-intensive location. While Intel has traditionally been less affected by memory latency depending on the game, the architectural redesign of the 1851 Socket has made latency a critical factor once again.






By increasing the resolution, the frame rate drops. Baldur's Gate 3 may be a CPU-intense game, but memory speed and latency does have quite the impact even at higher resolutions.
