# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `lnx - medium - no gi - taau 100` with significantly higher average FPS * **Smoothest FPS**: `lnx - high - medium gi - balanced fsr2` with the lowest standard deviation in FPS * **Best overall**: `lnx - medium - no gi - taau 100` offering a good balance of high performance and acceptable stability compared to others # Issues: * The Windows run with high settings and balanced `fsr2` achieved lower FPS compared to the rest and with noticeably worsened performance, having lower average FPS and higher temperature with the same GPU. # Summary This benchmark compares Windows and Linux performance for Arc Raiders, highlighting the differences in performance and stability between operating systems under similar graphical settings. The Linux version using `Steam Runtime 3` demonstrated superior performance with both high and medium settings. The `lnx - medium` configuration excelled in both FPS and stability, showcasing the Linux environment's optimization strengths. Conversely, the high settings under Windows yielded considerably diminished results, indicating potential inefficiencies or constraints in the driver's handling on that platform, even with equivalent hardware resources.
