# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Linux DXVK` - This run has the highest average FPS, outperforming the Windows run significantly. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Windows DX12` - This run has a lower standard deviation and variance in FPS, indicating more consistent performance. * **Best overall**: `Linux DXVK` - Despite a higher variance in FPS, the substantial increase in average FPS makes this run the best overall. # Issues: * The Windows run has noticeably lower FPS compared to the Linux run, with the average FPS being significantly lower. This disparity implies performance issues with the Windows configuration for this benchmark. # Summary In this benchmark comparing `Windows DX12` and `Linux DXVK` for World of Warcraft, the `Linux DXVK` configuration notably outperforms the `Windows DX12` one in terms of average FPS. However, `Windows DX12` shows a more stable frame rate with lower variance. Despite this, the higher average FPS on `Linux DXVK` makes it the superior choice for overall performance. The most critical finding here is the substantial performance gap, which suggests that the DXVK implementation on Linux is more effective for this game compared to the native DX12 implementation on Windows.
