# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `6.16.8 BORE 6.5.5` with approximately 2% higher FPS compared to the next best run. * **Smoothest FPS**: `6.16.8 BORE 6.5.5` due to having the lowest standard deviation and variance in FPS. * **Best overall**: `6.16.8 BORE 6.5.5` as it balances the highest FPS and smooth performance. # Issues: * The run using the `6.17 BORE 6.5.5` configuration had significantly lower FPS, roughly 6% less than the top performing kernel version. This was accompanied by a notably higher frame time variance, suggesting a lack of smoothness during gameplay. * The CPU load for all runs was consistent, indicating no performance bottleneck related to CPU in any configuration. # Summary The benchmark compared the performance of different Linux kernel versions, specifically `EEVDF` and `BORE`, at two versions, 6.16.8 and 6.17, in running Rocket League. The `6.16.8 BORE` version consistently performed better, producing a higher FPS and smoother gameplay experience compared to the other variants. Notably, while the 6.17 `BORE` version fell behind in terms of FPS and frame time stability, the `EEVDF` variants maintained a middle ground reflecting similar performance traits across different kernel versions tested. The `BORE` scheduler on version 6.16.8 should be preferred for optimal performance in this specific gaming scenario.
