# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `WuKong-Nobara` – This run achieved the highest average FPS. * **Smoothest FPS**: `WuKong-CachyOS` – This run had the lowest FPS standard deviation, indicating the most stable frame rate. * **Best overall**: `WuKong-CachyOS` – Despite having slightly lower average FPS, it had significantly better stability and lower variance. # Issues: * The run using the setup labeled Nobara showed a higher CPU temperature and GPU temperature compared to the other run. This indicates a potential thermal management issue which might impact long-term performance and stability. * The same run exhibited a higher GPU power consumption by a significant margin, which could imply inefficiencies or overly aggressive performance settings leading to increased power draw. # Summary This benchmark compares the performance of `WuKong-CachyOS` and `WuKong-Nobara` using a high preset without frame generation and FSR set to 100. Both runs utilized similar hardware, featuring an AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT and an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X processor. The `WuKong-Nobara` configuration achieved the highest average FPS but at the cost of increased temperatures and GPU power consumption. On the other hand, `WuKong-CachyOS` demonstrated more stable performance with lower variation and more efficient thermal management, making it the better overall choice despite a marginally lower average FPS.
