igt
What does igt mean?
Timing pulled from the game's internal clock instead of a real-world stopwatch. It usually ignores loading screens and pauses, so it can differ from RTA.
"On IGT I am sub-30, but RTA puts me a minute slower because of loads."
Origin
Acronym for 'in-game time'; timing taken from a timer built into the game itself.
Frequently asked questions
Why use IGT instead of RTA?
IGT levels the field when load times vary by hardware, since it only counts time the game itself is running.
