Top runs:

• Highest FPS: BORE with a Mean FPS significantly higher than others, providing the best frame rate experience.
• Smoothest FPS: lavd-ncc exhibits the lowest StdDev and Variance in FPS, offering a more stable frame rate.
• Best overall: BORE strikes the best balance with considerably higher FPS compared to others, despite a slightly higher StdDev in FPS than the smoothest option.

Issues:

• The BORE run offers a higher performance profile compared to both lavd runs. However, the stability of FPS is compromised with a higher standard deviation and variance in comparison to the more stable lavd-ncc. This contrasts the different FPS models, indicating varying trade-offs between performance and stability.
• Despite running on identical hardware, both lavd runs show a consistent decrease in FPS compared to BORE, which might be undesirable in FPS-intensive environments.

Summary

In this benchmark comparison between the BORE and lavd configurations under the os!stable + stress-ng scenario on CachyOS, performance metrics reveal distinct differences. The BORE configuration yields notably higher frames per second, while the lavd configurations emphasize stability with reduced FPS variability. Such insights are crucial for users needing either maximum performance, as seen with BORE, or smoother gameplay experiences, as characterized by the lavd-ncc. Overall, each has merits depending on the specific performance needs and tolerance for FPS variance in gaming or high-computation tasks.
