# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `DyingLight2(DX12) 9070XT` with approximately 32% higher average FPS than the lowest performing run. * **Smoothest FPS**: `DyingLightGame(DX12) 3090` with the lowest standard deviation and variance in FPS. * **Best overall**: `DyingLight2(DX12) 9070XT`, offering both the highest FPS and relatively good stability. # Issues: * The NVIDIA RTX 3090 with `DX11` underperformed with approximately 27% lower average FPS compared to the `DX12` setup of the same card, despite using identical hardware and settings. # Summary This benchmark compares the performance of the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 using `DX11` and `DX12` in the game Dying Light 2, with tests conducted under Arch Linux using the `performance` scheduler and `FSR4/DLSS Quality` setting without raytracing. The tests showcase the AMD card's superior performance when using `DX12`, achieving the highest and smoothest FPS outputs. Interestingly, the NVIDIA RTX 3090 showed better smoothness on `DX12`, although it lagged behind the AMD card in FPS. The NVIDIA RTX 3090's performance notably dipped under `DX11`, indicating potential driver or compatibility issues, or inherent inefficiencies with `DX11` compared to `DX12` setups.
