# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Flash Next -m all -C 0 -c 0 -p` with approximately 127 FPS, providing the highest average FPS among the runs. * **Smoothest FPS**: `BORE` with the lowest standard deviation in FPS, demonstrating the most stable FPS performance. * **Best overall**: `Flash Next -m all -C 0 -c 0 -p` combines the highest FPS with a moderately stable performance, making it the best overall choice. # Issues: * One of the configurations, which uniquely employs additional tweaks represented by the `-p` flag in `Flash Next` tests, experiences a significant drop in the low percentile FPS compared to others, showing a 27% reduction. This indicates potentially inconsistent performance under low FPS conditions. * The GPU load and power consumption are consistently higher in the more experimental configurations using the `Flash Next` tests compared to `BORE`, indicating potentially higher energy demands despite similar hardware setups. # Summary This benchmark explores performance differences in the game Elden Ring under various configurations, comparing both the `BORE` and `Flash Next` toolsets. The `BORE` configuration offers the most consistent frame rate stability, making it ideal for users prioritizing smooth graphics without fluctuations. Conversely, advanced `Flash Next` configurations, particularly with the `-p` flag, deliver higher average FPS, albeit with a compromise on stability and increased resource consumption. Users should consider their priorities between average performance improvements and system stability when selecting from these configurations.
