Top runs:

• Highest FPS: FragPunk mesa-git with an average FPS approximately 6% higher than the other run.
• Smoothest FPS: FragPunk 6.12 LTS with a standard deviation in FPS approximately 19% lower than the other run, indicating more consistent frame delivery.
• Best overall: FragPunk mesa-git as it offers a significantly higher performance increase, while still maintaining stable frames comparatively.

Summary

The benchmark comparison of the stable Mesa against the Mesa-Git version on CachyOS shows Mesa-Git providing an uplift in performance, with approximately 6% higher frames per second on average. Although the stable version had roughly 19% smoother FPS, the performance gain in Mesa-Git might outweigh its slightly increased variability in consistency, making it the more favorable choice for those prioritizing speed. All hardware and configurations including the Linux scheduler were consistent, ensuring a fair comparison of the driver versions' impact on performance.
