# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Fragpunk 1080p 6.14 ntsync` with approximately 18% higher mean FPS compared to the other run. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Fragpunk 1080p 6.14 ntsync` with roughly 10% lower standard deviation in FPS. * **Best overall**: `Fragpunk 1080p 6.14 ntsync` as it provides both higher FPS and smoother performance. # Issues: * The run with the 6.12 kernel performed significantly worse, with reduced mean FPS and increased variability in frame times. # Summary This benchmark contrasts the performance of the game Fragpunk running on two different Linux kernel versions, 6.12 and 6.14, under 1080p resolution using the `wayland` compositor. Both configurations employed the `powersave` scheduler, utilizing identical hardware and software environments. The results reveal that the 6.14 kernel provides a noticeable improvement in mean FPS and frame time stability compared to the 6.12 kernel, suggesting that the newer kernel version optimizes game performance significantly.
