# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `DLSS 2.2 Quality` shows the highest average FPS with a significantly higher value than the other configurations, demonstrating superior performance. * **Smoothest FPS**: `FSR 1.0 Quality` has the lowest standard deviation and variance, indicating the most stable and consistent frame rates among the runs. * **Best overall**: `DLSS 2.2 Quality` offers both high performance in terms of FPS and a relatively stable experience, making it the preferable choice for gamers seeking both performance and stability. # Issues: * The `Upscaling Off` configuration shows a substantial inconsistency in the FPS output, with a much higher standard deviation and variance, which can lead to uneven gameplay experience. Although the hardware and software setups were identical, the lack of upscaling appears to impact stability adversely. * Additionally, the `Upscaling Off` run demonstrated considerably lower FPS performance compared to the other two configurations, which is a notable concern. # Summary This benchmark for "Artisan TD" contrasts different upscaling technologies, `DLSS 2.2 Quality` and `FSR 1.0 Quality`, against having upscaling turned off on a system using a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070. Across the scenarios, the run with `DLSS 2.2 Quality` not only achieves the highest frame rates but does so with commendable stability. Conversely, the run without any upscaling experiences significant volatility, leading to less consistent frame times and a noticeably lower overall performance. The `FSR 1.0 Quality` maintains a balance, offering the smoothest gameplay experience due to its minimal frame rate fluctuations.
