Question for Framerate Experts

sparkchomp · June 6, 2020

When looking at the high frame rate mode in this game at 46 second mark, The game constantly fluctuates at around the 40-45 fps mark but i don't see any stutters or screen tearing. What's going on?

The frame rate itself is fluctuating, but because the frame pacing seems to be consistent enough, it doesn't look all that jarring. Shadow of the Tomb Raider almost definitely uses a triple-buffered vertical-sync setup, which is why its frame rate can fluctuate without looking terrible or all stuttery.

You are correct its the triple buffering.
