# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `scx_gamer_cpureductions2` with an average FPS approximately 1% higher than the rest, indicating the best raw performance. * **Smoothest FPS**: `scx_gamer_cpureductions6` with the lowest standard deviation and variance in FPS, resulting in a more consistent experience. * **Best overall**: `scx_gamer_cpureductions2` as it offers the highest FPS while maintaining an acceptable level of consistency. # Issues: * The fifth configuration exhibits lower stability with around 18% higher variance compared to the best run, which might contribute to occasional performance dips. * The last configuration runs significantly cooler but suffers from approximately 3% lower FPS on average, which indicates a potential performance compromise at higher thermal efficiency. # Summary: This benchmark evaluates the impact of CPU usage reductions on the framerate when running `scx_gamer` under the `powersave` scheduler on `CachyOS`. Across all tests, reducing CPU usage did not vastly detract from the game performance, but certain configurations can still provide a superior balance of high FPS and stability. Among the configurations, reducing CPU utilization seems to not only uphold overall performance but occasionally enhance thermal management without sacrificing considerable FPS.
