# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `ArcRaiders_FiringRange_SCX_LAVD` with approximately 3% higher average FPS compared to the lowest run. * **Smoothest FPS**: `ArcRaiders_FiringRange_Stock_CachyOS` with approximately 35% lower variance compared to the highest variance run. * **Best overall**: `ArcRaiders_FiringRange_Stock_CachyOS` due to a relatively high mean FPS and the lowest variance, indicating stability. # Issues: * The `Flash` scheduler exhibited roughly 120% higher variance indicating significant frame rate instability compared to the smoothest run. * The experimental `Cosmos` scheduler also showed about 145% higher variance than the top smoothest run, reflecting poor frame time stability. # Summary This benchmark evaluates various scheduler selections and their impact on performance in the Arc Raiders firing range scenario. The `scx_gamer` settings with both esports and baseline modes are being compared alongside the `stock` CachyOS, typical `LAVD`, `Flash`, and custom `Cosmos` scheduler configurations. The `SCX_LAVD` scheduler delivered the highest average frame rate, while the `Stock CachyOS` demonstrated superior stability and consistent frame times, making it an ideal choice for a balanced experience. However, both `Flash` and `Cosmos` schedulers showed significant fluctuations, raising concerns about their viability for smooth gaming performance.
