# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Cyberpunk2077_2025-02-27_BORE` has the highest average FPS, providing approximately 5% more FPS than its closest competitor, which results in a smoother gaming experience. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Cyberpunk2077_2025-02-27_RUSTY` exhibits the lowest variability in FPS, with its standard deviation being significantly lower—about 21% less than the average of other runs—indicating a more stable performance. * **Best overall**: `Cyberpunk2077_2025-02-27_FLASH` offers a combination of high FPS and lower variance compared to other runs, striking a balance with approximately 4% higher FPS than the median while also maintaining a competitive standard deviation. # Issues: * One of the runs has a significantly lower FPS, approximately 30% less than the best-performing run, which can be attributed to the `scx_lavd` scheduler. This setup also showed subtle hardware clock differences with lower GPU core and memory clocks, affecting overall performance. * The run using `scx_lavd` also consumed notably less power, about 30% lower than the most demanding configuration, with increased CPU and GPU temps not being observed, which might suggest underutilization of hardware resources. # Summary This benchmark compares various Linux schedulers using the custom `wine-tkg` setup paired with the `wayland` driver on Nobara Linux 41, using an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU and AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU under the same kernel version. The performance and FPS smoothness varied across the schedulers. While configurations like `scx_lavd` displayed significantly underwhelming performance, others like `scx_asdf`, `scx_bpfland`, and `scx_rustland` remained closer in performance metrics with minor differences in clock speeds or resource usage. The insights highlight the importance of selecting the appropriate scheduling strategy for optimal gaming experiences, as the performance variance is notably significant across different schedulers.
