# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Returnal_Nobara` with an average FPS that is approximately 5% higher than the competing run, demonstrating superior frame rates. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Returnal_Nobara` with the lowest standard deviation and variance in FPS, indicating the most consistent performance. * **Best overall**: `Returnal_Nobara` due to its higher average FPS and more stable frame rates, presenting the best balance between performance and smoothness. # Issues: * `Returnal_CachyOS` performed significantly worse, with an average FPS approximately 5% lower and a 5% higher variance in frame time, indicating less consistent performance. # Summary This benchmarking comparison evaluates the performance of `Returnal` on two Linux distributions: Nobara and CachyOS, using the same hardware and similar Linux kernel versions with the `performance` scheduler. The results show that Nobara outperforms CachyOS in average FPS and consistency, making it the better option for running `Returnal` on the tested AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT and AMD Ryzen 7 3700X setup.
