# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `No CoreCTRL` and it offers a considerable performance boost over the other runs with increased average FPS. * **Smoothest FPS**: `WINDOW_3D` and it has the lowest standard deviation in FPS, indicating smoother gameplay. * **Best overall**: `WINDOW_3D` and although its FPS is slightly lower than `No CoreCTRL`, it offers the smoothest experience which is crucial for a consistent gaming experience. # Issues: * The power consumption in the `No CoreCTRL` and `WINDOW_3D` configurations is significantly higher compared to `3D fullscreen` and `Compute`, which could lead to increased heat output and energy costs. * The `3D fullscreen` and `Compute` configurations have much higher FPS variance, indicating less stable performance during the benchmark. # Summary This benchmark compares the performance of the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU under different power modes controlled via `CoreCTRL` on Arch Linux. The `No CoreCTRL` configuration achieved the highest average FPS, providing the best raw performance. However, the `WINDOW_3D` configuration offered the smoothest frame rates with the lowest standard deviation, making it the best overall choice for consistent performance. The `3D fullscreen` and `Compute` modes had higher FPS variance and lower FPS overall, showing that they are less optimal for achieving both high and consistent performance. The trade-off between raw FPS and stable performance is evident, highlighting the importance of selecting the appropriate power mode based on specific requirements.
