# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `WAYLAND-helldivers2_2025-07-19_10-28-24` provides slightly higher average FPS, making it the leader in frame rate performance. * **Smoothest FPS**: `X11-helldivers2_2025-07-19_10-33-38` has the lowest standard deviation and variance in FPS, indicating the most consistent performance in terms of frame delivery. * **Best overall**: `WAYLAND-helldivers2_2025-07-19_10-28-24` achieves a balanced performance with slightly better FPS and competitive smoothness, making it the best overall. # Summary This benchmark compares the performance between the `Wayland` and `XWayland` environments on Arch Linux using the ProtonGE10-10 with `NTSYNC` enabled. Both tests were conducted using an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and AMD Ryzen 7 5700G. Despite the similarity in setups, the `Wayland` environment marginally outperformed in terms of FPS, while `XWayland` offered slightly smoother performance with more consistent frame times. Overall, `Wayland` provided the most balanced experience, benefiting from a minor edge in FPS and maintaining decent stability in frametime.
