House Flipper Nobara (Now With GPU I Hope) Steam Runtime 3 (sniper) AMD Radeon RX 460 Graphics (RADV POLARIS11) Intel Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 17 GB 6.10.3-201.fsync.fc40.x86_64 performance
House Flipper Cachy (Now With GPU I Hope) Steam Runtime 3 (sniper) AMD Radeon RX 460 Graphics (RADV POLARIS11) Intel Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 17 GB 6.10.6-2-cachyos powersave
# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `House Flipper Nobara` with mean FPS approximately 77% higher than the alternative. * **Smoothest FPS**: `House Flipper Cachy` with standard deviation of FPS approximately 47% lower, indicating more consistent frame delivery. * **Best overall**: `House Flipper Nobara` with mean FPS significantly higher while having acceptable standard deviation. # Issues: * The system running `House Flipper Cachy` experienced 77% lower average FPS compared to the other configuration, indicating a significant performance issue. * The Linux kernel versions and schedulers were different across the runs, which could be contributing to the performance discrepancies. * The `House Flipper Cachy` configuration had higher frame time variance, implying less stable frame rates and negatively affecting the gaming experience. # Summary The benchmark comparison between the `Nobara` and `CachyOS` configurations for `House Flipper` highlights stark differences in performance, with `Nobara` running a kernel version using the `performance` scheduler delivering significantly better FPS and lower frame time variance. In contrast, the `CachyOS` configuration, using a different kernel and `powersave` scheduler, was observed to have major performance bottlenecks, resulting in substantially lower average FPS and higher frame time fluctuations, making it less suitable for gaming under these settings.
