FPS: Locked at 60
Experience: Smooth and consistent
FPS: Unlimited with stutters
Experience: Variable FPS with unpredictable stutters
This demonstration illustrates the difference between a consistent frame rate and an inconsistent one with random stutters. Both scenarios move the line at exactly 60 pixels per second, regardless of the frame rate. Scenario 1 shows a locked 60 FPS, which provides a smooth and consistent experience. Scenario 2 runs at an unlimited frame rate but experiences stutters.
The graphs below each animation show the frame times for the last 10 seconds. A consistent line indicates smooth performance, while spikes indicate stutters or inconsistencies.
Remember: Consistency is often more important than raw numbers when it comes to perceived smoothness in graphics rendering.
