# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `BPFLAND Next` with the highest mean FPS, approximately 2% higher than the next best run. * **Smoothest FPS**: `BORE` with the lowest FPS standard deviation, more stable performance across the run. * **Best overall**: `BPFLAND Next` due to the combination of highest FPS and a reasonably low FPS variance compared to most other runs. # Issues: * The run using the `LAVD` scheduler has around 10% lower mean FPS compared to the highest FPS run and even lower minimum FPS, indicating potential issues with this scheduler under these conditions. * The `BPFLAND` scheduler's higher FPS variance suggests FPS instability, affecting smoothness. * The GPU temperature is notably higher in the `BPFLAND Next` run compared to others, which may indicate higher thermal load or less efficient cooling. # Summary The benchmark comparison tests the performance of different Linux schedulers in a CPU-limited scene in "Elden Ring" using an AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU and AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU. The `BPFLAND Next` scheduler delivers the highest average FPS, but the `BORE` scheduler provides the smoothest gameplay experience due to lower FPS variance. The `LAVD` scheduler demonstrates lower performance, potentially limiting its effectiveness in similar scenarios. By stabilizing FPS variability, some schedulers improve user experience even if they don't lead in raw FPS output. The consistent performance across different runs ensures that only small differences in configurations lead to noticeable variance in outcomes.
