# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Marvel-Win64-Shipping_2025-10-25_11-33-05` had the highest mean FPS, outperforming other runs by a small margin. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Marvel-Win64-Shipping_2025-10-25_11-40-04` exhibited the smoothest performance, with the lowest standard deviation and variance in FPS across the runs, indicating more consistency in frame rates. * **Best overall**: `Marvel-Win64-Shipping_2025-10-25_11-33-05` offers the best overall performance due to its combination of the highest FPS and relatively low variance compared to others, providing a balanced high-performance output. # Issues: * The runs conducted with `powersave` scheduler showed lower FPS compared to those with `performance` scheduler, clearly indicating a disadvantage in gaming performance when using the `powersave` setting. * Additionally, the CPU load was significantly lower in the `powersave` mode, suggesting that the CPU wasn't being utilized as effectively compared to when `performance` mode was used. # Summary This benchmark comparison evaluated the impact of the `Sanchi GameMode` being toggled on and off while comparing the `scx_bpfland Gaming Profile` in `performance` mode against itself in `powersave` mode. The runs with `performance` mode enabled consistently delivered higher FPS, feature improved CPU utilization, and overall better gaming performance in terms of FPS stability and camera smoothness. In contrast, switching to the `powersave` mode resulted in reduced frame rates and less consistent performance, highlighting a clear disadvantage in intense gaming scenarios with this configuration.
