# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `SoT_Bore` with around 5% higher mean FPS compared to others, providing the overall best frame rate performance. * **Smoothest FPS**: `SoT_scx_bpfland_1.0.16`, experiencing approximately 50% less standard deviation, indicating greater frame rate consistency. * **Best overall**: `SoT_scx_bpfland_1.0.16`, despite being slightly lower in FPS compared to the highest, it provides considerably smoother performance than others. # Issues: * The run using the custom scheduler configuration showed a noticeable disparity with FPS variance around 25% higher than others, potentially leading to an inconsistent gaming experience. # Summary This benchmark compared the performance of various `sched_ext` enabled schedulers using the `Sea Of Thieves` in a controlled in-game loop scenario with 4K graphics using a high-end system configuration. In this setting, the custom scheduler configuration achieved the highest smoothness in frames, making it a desirable choice for consistent gaming experiences, despite slightly trailing in FPS compared to the baseline setup. Although one of the experimental schedulers provided the highest average FPS, the variance observed in other runs clarifies the impact of different scheduling strategies on game performance, highlighting trade-offs between raw performance and stability.
