# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `BORE 5.5.0 SMT OFF` with the highest average FPS, offering a significant performance advantage over the others. * **Smoothest FPS**: `BORE 5.5.0 SMT ON` with the lowest standard deviation in FPS, indicating the most stable frame delivery. * **Best overall**: `BORE 5.5.0 SMT ON` as it provides very stable performance with a slight compromise on FPS compared to the highest FPS run, but with excellent frame stability. # Issues: * The `LAVD` scheduler configuration exhibits a notable decrease in average FPS, performing worse by a significant margin compared to others. * The `LAVD` scheduler also shows the highest variance in FPS, indicating poor consistency in frame rates. * Compared to similar configurations, the `Rusty` scheduler seems to have a slightly higher average FPS, but still falls short in consistency when balanced against stability concerns. # Summary In evaluating the performance impact of different schedulers on `CachyOS` with the `powersave` setting on a `Ryzen 5700X` and `RTX 3060 Ti` system while playing Rocket League, it becomes evident that enabling `SMT` yields the best balance between smoothness and stability with the `powersave` scheduler. Overall, `SMT`-enabled runs offer consistent improvements in frame time and load distribution, thus leading to a noticeably smoother gaming experience. The `BORE` scheduler exhibits the highest average FPS, while the `Rusty` and `LAVD` schedulers show significantly decreased performance, interlaced with higher frame rate variability.
