# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Kovaaks_CachyOS_Stock` with the highest average FPS which is significantly better than other runs. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Kovaaks_CachyOS_Stock` with the lowest FPS variance and standard deviation, indicating very tight frametime consistency. * **Best overall**: `Kovaaks_CachyOS_Stock2` due to its high FPS and excellent stability with minimal compromise on frametime consistency. # Issues: * The tests using the `scx_lavd` scheduler (both variants) showed noticeable lower mean FPS, dropping by nearly 7-8% compared to the best-performing configurations. * The `scx_lavd` benchmarks exhibited higher variance and standard deviation in FPS, making for less stable performance overall. * The runs using the `scx_central` scheduler presented increased frametime inconsistencies, even with substantial FPS gains, leading to a less smooth gaming experience. # Summary This benchmark was conducted with a primary focus on evaluating how different schedulers under `CachyOS` handle Kovaaks with the aim of achieving and maintaining over 1000 FPS at 1080p resolution. The results indicate that the `performance` Linux scheduler, specifically in its 'stock' configuration, delivers the highest FPS with the most consistent frame times, thus offering the optimal experience in terms of both performance and stability. In contrast, schedulers like `scx_lavd` struggled with consistency and fell behind in average FPS, highlighting potential areas of improvement for these experimental schedulers in high-performance gaming scenarios.
