# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `scx_gamer_kernal_panicked_oops` achieved the highest average FPS with a substantial increase compared to others. * **Smoothest FPS**: `scx_cosmos_115_test3` exhibited the lowest standard deviation in FPS, indicating the smoothest experience. * **Best overall**: `scx_cosmos_115_test3` provided the best balance of consistent and high FPS, making it the best overall choice. # Issues: * The run labeled with kernel panic experienced a substantial drop in Low 1% FPS, indicating instability. Although it featured the highest average FPS, the wide variation in FPS negatively impacts the user experience. * Another run from the scx_gamer group demonstrated inconsistent GPU performance, with fluctuations evident in the GPU core and memory clock speeds, leading to irregular FPS stability. # Summary The benchmark was conducted to compare `scx_gamer` performance across different updates including bug-fixes, the impact of kernel panics, and testing scx_cosmos scheduler implementations on CachyOS with a consistent hardware setup. The bug-fixed nightly versions of `scx_gamer` exhibited moderate performance improvements, while both average and stability metrics were more impressive with the `scx_cosmos` scheduler tests. Despite the kernel panic instance recording the highest average FPS, the inconsistencies in frame stability make `scx_cosmos_115_test3`—an implementation with excellent balance and stability—the standout performer in these tests.
