# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Black Myth Wukong_Nobara` with an average FPS higher by approximately 6% compared to the other run. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Black Myth Wukong_CachyOS` with a standard deviation of FPS slightly lower, indicating smoother performance. * **Best overall**: `Black Myth Wukong_Nobara` due to its combination of higher average FPS and comparable smoothness. # Issues: * In both runs, all hardware and software configurations are consistent, but the "Nobara" result is significantly better, showing approximately 6% higher FPS on average. * The "CachyOS" result shows approximately 5% higher frametimes on average, leading to higher latency. * Both runs show similar GPU and CPU utilization, but "CachyOS" has a slightly lower GPU power, impacting overall performance. # Summary The benchmark comparison between Steam Runtime 3 running on Nobara and CachyOS reveals that Nobara is the superior choice for gaming performance in Black Myth Wukong under the tested conditions. Specifically, Nobara achieves roughly 6% higher average FPS while maintaining similarly smooth frame rates compared to CachyOS. The consistency across hardware and software settings confirms that the observed performance differences are attributable to the OS optimizations inherent in Nobara compared to CachyOS, particularly in how they handle gaming workloads under the same "performance" Linux scheduler.
