# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `BORE Run 1` with the highest mean FPS compared to other runs, ensuring superior average performance. * **Smoothest FPS**: `BORE Run 3` with the lowest standard deviation in FPS, indicating the most consistent frame rate during the test. * **Best overall**: `BORE Run 1` offers the highest average FPS and a stable performance compared to other runs, providing the best balance of performance and smoothness. # Issues: * The performance of the `LAVD` configuration shows a significant decrease in average FPS compared to other configurations, roughly 4% lower than the top performing BORE scheduler. This run also has the highest standard deviation, indicating more fluctuations in frame rate, which can affect the overall gaming experience. * Both `Bpfland-next` configurations (`--lowlatency` and without) experienced a performance decrease of approximately 2% to 3% in average FPS when compared to the best-performing BORE configuration, along with a noticeable increase in frame time variability. # Summary The benchmark highlights the performance comparison of the BORE scheduler with other schedulers like `scx_bpfland`, `scx_bpfland-next`, `Fair`, `LAVD`, and `Rusty` when running Baldur’s Gate 3 on the `Linux kernel` version `6.11.5`. The BORE scheduler performs exceptionally well, achieving the highest and most stable frame rate. Other schedulers, specifically `LAVD` and the `bpfland` variations, show decreased performance and higher inconsistency. These results underline the strength of the BORE scheduler in handling gaming loads, providing both higher and smoother FPS under the given test conditions.
