Top runs:

• Highest FPS: Silent Hill_default with an average FPS approximately 7% higher than the lowest performing run.
• Smoothest FPS: Silent Hill_Silent Optimizer_default with the lowest variance and standard deviation, indicating more stable frame rates.
• Best overall: Silent Hill_default offers a high average FPS along with a fairly low variability, making it the most balanced option.

Issues:

• The stutter test using the "Silent Optimizer" configuration considerably underperforms in terms of average FPS, showing about 7% lower FPS compared to the top-performing configuration. This may be notable as it aims for optimization but results in lower performance.
• The "Ultra Plus" configuration presents a significantly higher FPS variability, meaning less smooth gameplay, despite its graphical enhancements.
• The "Sunny Hills fog" has a variance similar to "Silent Hill_default," but delivers a lower average FPS, highlighting a trade-off between visuals and performance.

Summary

The benchmark for Silent Hill with stutter mods evaluates different configurations on a consistent system setup, leveraging an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT GPU and AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU across a Steam Runtime 3 environment. The evaluations highlight how different modifications impact FPS and stability. The "default" configuration offers a good balance with the highest FPS and relatively steady frame times, while the "Ultra Plus" configuration enhances visuals at the cost of FPS stability. The "Sunny Hills fog" mod attempts to find a middle ground but ultimately falls short in average FPS. Notably, the "Silent Optimizer" sacrifices significant FPS performance, aiming at optimizations which do not translate into higher frame rates.
