# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Cyberpunk2077_GamemodeOn` with an average FPS approximately 6.5% higher than the other run. This indicates better overall performance in terms of frame rate when the game mode is on. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Cyberpunk2077_GamemodeOff` with the lowest standard deviation, indicating more consistent frame rates and smoother gameplay experience. * **Best overall**: `Cyberpunk2077_GamemodeOn` combining higher average FPS with relatively stable frame times, despite having a slightly higher variance. # Issues: * The game mode off configuration has an FPS average that is roughly 6.5% lower than when the game mode is on. * The game mode off configuration shows approximately 30% lower consistency compared to the best performance run with the game mode on, indicating higher FPS variability. * The GPU clock for the game mode off run slightly fluctuates more compared to the game mode on run. # Summary In this benchmark for testing the impact of enabling certain game mode scripts on Cyberpunk 2077, it is evident that enabling these scripts (`echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled`, `echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/compaction_proactiveness`, `echo 0 > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag`, `echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/page_lock_unfairness`) results in a noticeable improvement in performance. The game mode significantly increased the average FPS by about 6.5%, indicating a smoother and more responsive gaming experience. Despite the slight increase in FPS variance, the overall improvement in frame rates and stability makes enabling the game mode scripts a beneficial configuration for playing Cyberpunk 2077 on the tested hardware and software environment.
