# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `WuKong-CachyOS-Gnome` - This run showed a very slight edge in mean FPS compared to the alternate configuration, offering optimal performance. * **Smoothest FPS**: `WuKong-CachyOS-Cosmic` – With a lower standard deviation and variance in FPS, this run offered a more consistent and smooth gaming experience. * **Best overall**: `WuKong-CachyOS-Cosmic` – Despite a slightly lower mean FPS, the consistency and stability in frame times and low discrepancy in performance metrics make this configuration the best overall. # Summary The benchmark compared two different desktop environments (`COSMIC` and `Gnome`) running on a `CachyOS` system using the `powersave` scheduler. Both runs used the same hardware setup featuring an AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT GPU and AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU. The `COSMIC` configuration delivered a more consistent performance with lower variability in FPS and frame times, making it the optimal choice. The `Gnome` configuration achieved a marginally higher FPS but at the cost of greater variance, leading to a less smooth experience overall. These results suggest that `COSMIC` provides a more stable and reliable performance for gaming on this particular setup.
