# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Katamari 1080p trimmed` with significantly higher average FPS compared to the other run. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Katamari 1280x800 trimmed` with notably lower FPS variance and standard deviation. * **Best overall**: `Katamari 1080p trimmed`, offering a balance of high FPS while maintaining decent frame time consistency. # Issues: * At 1080p, CPU and GPU temperatures are significantly higher compared to 1280x800 resolution, which is not inherently an issue but indicates higher resource usage. * GPU load is over twice as much in the 1080p configuration compared to 1280x800, possibly indicating a heavier workload. # Summary This benchmark compares the performance of "Katamari Damacy Reroll" on a Steam Deck at two different resolutions, 1080p and 1280x800. While both runs lock the rendering at 30 FPS for gameplay, the 1080p configuration exhibits higher average FPS and allows more flexibility in settings, leading to better performance. However, this comes with the trade-off of increased resource usage, as indicated by higher CPU and GPU loads and temperatures. In contrast, the 1280x800 configuration provides a smoother experience with lower variance in FPS, making it a stable option with reduced resource consumption. This evaluation suggests that users prioritizing smoothness and resource efficiency may prefer the 1280x800 resolution, while those seeking peak performance should opt for 1080p.
