Outer Wilds | BORE vs SCX

Static GPU limited scene with no background load from the start of the game; scene should be close to 100% consistent between runs; Game was run at 450p, GPU clocks were above driver limits but wattage wasn't fully maxed out. 60 second frame recording with 0ms interval to get the most accurate results; single run only | Wayland Native + NTSync. Performance Governor/EPP | BORE default settings | BPFLAND --performance | FLASH | LAVD --performance | LAVD --autopilot

# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Outer Wilds FLASH` with approximately 2% higher average FPS compared to others. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Outer Wilds BORE` with about 33% lower standard deviation and variance in FPS compared to the runner-up. * **Best overall**: `Outer Wilds BORE`, offering a significant balance of high average FPS and stability, approximately 34% lower variance than the next best option, despite a marginal drop in average FPS. # Issues: * The `LAVD Autopilot` run significantly deviates from others, exhibiting a nearly 37% higher variance in FPS, indicating inconsistency in performance not observed in other configurations that have smoother FPS distribution. # Summary This benchmark compares the `BORE`, `BPFLAND performance`, `FLASH`, `LAVD --performance`, and `LAVD --autopilot` modes using a consistent hardware setup. `FLASH` mode provides the highest average FPS, delivering peak performance in terms of raw output. However, `BORE` mode stands out due to its smoother frame rate, resulting in a more stable and enjoyable gaming experience. Notably, `LAVD --autopilot` exhibits a much higher variance in FPS, resulting in a less consistent performance compared to the other modes. This analysis underscores the trade-offs between FPS stability and performance, revealing that while `FLASH` leads in raw FPS, `BORE` offers the most consistent experience.
