# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `NTSYNC_PathOfExile_2025-08-31_14-00-09` offers about 3% higher average FPS compared to the other run. * **Smoothest FPS**: `FSYNC_PathOfExile_2025-08-31_14-02-09` exhibits lower standard deviation and variance in FPS, indicating a smoother gaming experience. * **Best overall**: `NTSYNC_PathOfExile_2025-08-31_14-00-09` balances higher average FPS with an acceptable level of smoothness for an optimal performance. # Summary The benchmark compares the performance of `fsync` and `ntsync` synchronization techniques in the game "Path of Exile 2" on Steam Runtime 3 with a consistent hardware setup. Both runs utilize the `userspace` Linux scheduler, and the primary difference lies in the synchronization method used. The configuration with `ntsync` not only delivers a 3% improvement in average FPS but also maintains its advantage by providing a stable and efficient level of performance. However, `fsync` shows a slightly steadier frame rate distribution, making it a favorable option for those prioritizing smoothness.
