# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `scx_gamer_esports1010` achieved the highest average FPS among the runs. * **Smoothest FPS**: `scx_gamer_vulkan_framepacing` delivered the smoothest performance with the lowest frame time standard deviation. * **Best overall**: `scx_gamer_vulkan_framepacing` strikes a balance with competitive FPS and the smoothest frame times. # Issues: * The run tagged as the default CachyOS configuration had comparatively higher GPU temperature levels, indicating potential thermal limitations affecting performance consistency. # Summary In this benchmark comparison using CachyOS, all runs are leveraging an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU and AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, assessed under the `performance` Linux scheduler. The experimental setup aimed at identifying and mitigating frametime spikes showcases various configurations. While the `scx_gamer_esports1010` configuration peaked in FPS, the `scx_gamer_vulkan_framepacing` showed the most stable performance with minimal frametime fluctuation, making it a promising candidate for smooth gaming sessions. Meanwhile, the default CachyOS setup appeared to face thermal challenges, impacting its overall performance stability.
