Top runs:

• Highest FPS: Fragpunk 6.14 ntsync has a higher average FPS, approximately 6% more than the alternative.
• Smoothest FPS: FragPunk 6.12 LTS showcases smoother FPS with around 17% lower standard deviation compared to its counterpart.
• Best overall: Fragpunk 6.14 ntsync delivers the best overall performance, balancing between its higher FPS and acceptable steadiness.

Issues:

• The GPU load in the version of Fragpunk running 6.12 LTS is significantly lower, around 13% less than the alternative, potentially hindering performance.
• The RAM usage in the 6.12 LTS benchmark is notably higher, about 25% more than the counterpart, which might indicate an inefficiency in memory utilization impacting performance.

Summary

The benchmark compares two different kernel versions of the game Fragpunk on CachyOS, using the powersave Linux scheduler at 1080p resolution with ultra settings. The run with the 6.14 ntsync kernel demonstrates an enhanced average FPS and better GPU efficiency despite slightly higher frametime variability, leading to a more robust gaming experience. On the other hand, the 6.12 LTS version exhibits smoother frame rates but suffers from lower GPU load and higher RAM usage, which impacts its performance stability and efficiency negatively.
