# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `BORE mitigations=off`, with the highest average FPS showing a considerable increase compared to other runs, making it the top performer in sheer FPS. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Bpfland`, presenting the lowest standard deviation and variance in FPS, which indicates the smoothest gameplay among the runs. * **Best overall**: `BORE mitigations=off`, as it not only achieves the highest FPS but also maintains acceptable smoothness despite a higher standard deviation compared to the smoothest run. # Issues: * The runs with mitigations enabled exhibit significantly lower FPS compared to those with mitigations disabled. This discrepancy points to a notable drop in performance due to the mitigations. * All benchmarks were conducted under the same hardware and software configurations, which highlights that the differences observed are likely due to the mitigations status. # Summary This benchmark evaluates the impact of CPU mitigations on the performance of Rocket League using the `kernel 6.15rc7` while ensuring other variables remain constant. Runs with mitigations disabled consistently show a drastic performance improvement, achieving higher FPS and lower frame times despite slight increases in variance. This suggests that CPU mitigations have a significant overhead affecting gaming performance, highlighting the benefits of disabling these for gaming scenarios on systems where security trade-offs are justified.
