# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `balanced LAVD --performance` with an approximate 1% higher average FPS compared to other runs, providing a superior frame rate. * **Smoothest FPS**: `balanced LAVD --performance` with an approximate 7% lower standard deviation and variance, indicating more consistent frame delivery. * **Best overall**: `balanced LAVD --performance` due to its combination of high FPS and smooth frame times, offering an optimal gaming experience. # Issues: * The `balanced --powersave` configuration resulted in approximately 10% lower FPS compared to others, indicating a significant drop in performance. This discrepancy is accompanied by a higher standard deviation and variance, affecting gameplay smoothness. * The GPU load in the `balanced --powersave` and `performance --powersave` runs is notably lower, being about 10% less than other configurations, which may contribute to their reduced performance. * Despite being under `powersave` configurations, CPU and GPU temperatures are consistent with other runs, suggesting that temperature management isn't a contributing factor. # Summary This benchmark primarily evaluates the performance impact of different power profiles using the `LAVD` scheduler in "Rocket League" with a specific hardware configuration. The use of a balanced power profile with `LAVD` scheduler under `performance` settings provided the best combination of frame rate and smoothness, indicating a potential sweet spot for gamers prioritizing performance. Contrastingly, power-saving configurations showed significant performance drops, indicating they might not be suitable for demanding tasks where high FPS is a priority.
