# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `proton-tkg-protonup` with approximately 5% higher FPS than the other runs. This run has the highest average FPS, which suggests improved performance in terms of raw frame rate. * **Smoothest FPS**: `proton-ge-protonup` with the lowest frame time variance. This implies it has the most consistent frame delivery, resulting in a smoother gameplay experience. * **Best overall**: `proton-ge-protonup` combines high FPS with the most stable frame times. This run offers a balanced performance with minimal compromise between frame rate and smoothness. # Issues: * `proton-experimental-steam` has approximately 49% higher CPU load than others, which could indicate a potential bottleneck or inefficiency in the CPU handling of this particular configuration. * `proton-cachyos-nowinesync-pacman` shows a noticeable increase in GPU temperature, approximately 2% higher on average compared to other runs. * `proton-ge-pacman` and `proton-ge-protonup` display slightly higher GPU temperatures, approximately 4-5% higher than other runs. # Summary The benchmark compares different Proton configurations running Forza Horizon 5 on CachyOS with an AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE and consistent hardware and software settings. The `proton-tkg-protonup` configuration delivered the highest FPS, indicating superior performance in raw frame rate. The `proton-ge-protonup` configuration provided the smoothest experience, with the least variability in frame times. Overall, `proton-ge-protonup` offers the best balance of high FPS and stable performance, making it the top choice for this benchmark. Some configurations like `proton-experimental-steam` showed significantly higher CPU load, highlighting potential inefficiencies. GPU temperatures were marginally higher in `proton-cachyos-nowinesync-pacman` and `proton-ge` configurations, indicating possible thermal stress.
