stutters have nothing to do with framerates.

Nothing? Nothing to do with frame rates at all? That seems a little
strong.

At a minimum, a stutter will reduce your frame rate. It is, by definition,
something that delays the presentation of the next frame. Duh.

In addition, stutters sometimes happen because a particular frame takes
longer to render (often because textures are moving across the AGP bus). In
other words, a slow frame IS a stutter.

I would say that stuttering and slow frame rates often go hand-in-hand.
They are very much related.
