# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `MR - falcond + lavd` with roughly 4% higher average FPS than other configurations, showing a significant leap in performance. * **Smoothest FPS**: `MR - falcond` with a standard deviation and variance significantly lower than all other runs, ensuring a smoother experience. * **Best overall**: `MR - falcon` achieves a good balance with only a slight compromise on FPS for improved stability compared to the highest FPS, making it the most reliable overall. # Issues: * The `GameMode During` configuration, using a different `powersave` Linux scheduler, displays approximately 5% decrease in average FPS compared to the other setups using the `performance` scheduler despite maintaining consistent GPU load. This indicates an issue with CPU management under this scheduler. * The `MR - Stock` run using the `powersave` scheduler also shows lower FPS compared to the `performance` scheduler-based runs, albeit by a smaller margin. # Summary This benchmark evaluates different Linux scheduler configurations and `GameMode` impact on an NVIDIA RTX 5090-based system within a Steam Runtime 3 environment. The `performance` scheduler clearly outperforms the `powersave` scheduler, exhibiting both higher FPS and smoother frametimes. Configurations without additional tools or layering (such as `lavd`) tended to be very smooth but occasionally at a slight cost of raw FPS. The findings highlight the importance of selecting the right scheduler to balance FPS and system resource management.
