# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Cosmos -m all -w` with approximately 4% more FPS compared to the lower performing runs. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Cosmos -m all -w` with approximately 7% lower standard deviation and variance, indicating a more stable frame rate. * **Best overall**: `Cosmos -m all -w` as it offers the highest FPS while simultaneously maintaining the lowest frame variability, making it the best balance between performance and smoothness. # Issues: * The `Flash -m all` and the alternative `Flash` run both show approximately 4% lower average FPS compared to the best performing run. Given that all hardware and configurations remain consistent across the tests, this indicates a performance issue specifically associated with the `Flash` configuration. # Summary The benchmark compares two different configurations (`Flash` vs `Cosmos`) of the same game scene on a similar hardware and software setup, running under `Steam Runtime 3` with a `performance` governor. While the hardware remains constant with an AMD Radeon RX 7900 GPU and an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, the runs labeled with `Cosmos` consistently outperform `Flash`, with `Cosmos -m all -w` providing the best performance both in terms of higher FPS and lower frame time variability. The consistency of high performance in the `Cosmos` runs suggests better optimization under current system configurations.
