# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Cyberpunk2077_2025-01-12_6.12.9-207` due to its superior mean FPS which is significantly higher than others. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Cyberpunk2077_2025-01-12_6.12.9-203` for having the lowest FPS variance, indicating a more consistent performance. * **Best overall**: `Cyberpunk2077_2025-01-12_6.12.9-207` combining highest FPS with acceptable stability. # Issues: * The test using a later kernel version in the range, despite having similar hardware specifications and software settings, shows a slightly reduced FPS and increased variability compared to the highest-performing setups. Variability in GPU core clock and higher temperatures could be responsible for its lesser performance. # Summary The benchmark tests revolved around different versions of the `Linux kernel` along with a consistent hardware setup using the `AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX` GPU and `AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D` CPU. The kernel version modifications resulted in variations regarding FPS performance and consistency, where the later versions generally underperformed compared to certain middle-range kernels. Factors such as GPU load, power usage, and VRAM consumption were consistent across the tests, hinting at the kernel's influence on the benchmark performance outcomes. The benchmark shows how kernel versions can impact gaming performance, with stability and high FPS being achievable depending on kernel choice.
