# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `SOTTR_2025-07-14_19-03-14-plasma` with approximately 1% higher average FPS than the other run. * **Smoothest FPS**: `SOTTR_2025-07-14_19-03-14-plasma` has a slightly lower standard deviation and variance of FPS compared to the other run, indicating more consistent performance. * **Best overall**: `SOTTR_2025-07-14_19-03-14-plasma` due to its combination of highest FPS and smoothest performance. # Issues: * The run using the "performance" scheduler under "Hyprland" had a approximately 4% higher CPU temperature compared to the "powersave" scheduler under "Plasma." * "Hyprland" configuration used slightly less RAM compared to "Plasma," but had slightly lower FPS. * Differences in the Linux kernel and scheduler could be the reason for varying results between the two configurations. # Summary This benchmark compares the gaming performance of "Hyprland" and "Plasma" environments using a system with an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor. The "Plasma" configuration, utilizing the `powersave` scheduler and its specific kernel version, demonstrated a slight edge in terms of average FPS and provided a more stable performance. The results suggest the "Plasma" environment can better balance power and performance for this particular setup, while the "Hyprland" configuration, running on "performance" scheduler, showed slightly higher CPU temperatures and less consistent FPS despite consuming marginally less RAM.
