The major feature - and improvement - in patch 1.03 of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the introduction of a 30fps frame-rate cap. If you look at the frame-time indicator, you'll see that the latest version is much closer to a flat line, showing an even delivery of new frames.
Sometimes, a higher frame-rate isn't always a good thing. In the case of The Witcher 3's 1.01 version, the additional frames over the 30fps line created extra judder. So why limit at 30fps and not, say, 35fps? Well, HDTVs update 60 times per second. By limiting to 30fps, the same frame stays on-screen for two refreshes, producing even, consistent motion.
