Top runs:

• Highest FPS: lnx - high - no gi - balanced fsr2 with the highest average FPS compared to other configurations.
• Smoothest FPS: win - high - medium gi - taau 100 with the lowest standard deviation and variance of FPS among the runs.
• Best overall: win - high - medium gi - balanced fsr2 as it provides a good balance of high FPS and smooth FPS with a lower standard deviation compared to other high FPS runs.

Issues:

• The Windows configuration with the taau 100 setting showed lower mean FPS compared to the balanced fsr2 setting despite similar configurations, indicating a performance drop of approximately 15%.
• The Linux configuration using taau 100 also exhibited higher FPS variability, which can affect the smoothness of gameplay.
• The Linux setup with medium gi and balanced fsr2 produced an average FPS significantly lower than the configurations without gi, suggesting a possible performance issue tied to gi settings.

Summary

This benchmark compares the performance of Arc Raiders Playtest on Windows versus Linux platforms with various graphical settings like gi and fsr. The Linux configuration without gi consistently achieved the highest FPS, indicating that bypassing gi can significantly enhance performance. In contrast, Windows configurations generally offered smoother FPS experiences, particularly with balanced fsr2. The taau 100 setting on both platforms resulted in lower FPS performance, suggesting it may not be the optimal choice for smoother gameplay. Overall, the Linux platform excelled in maximizing FPS, while Windows configurations excelled in delivering smoother gaming experiences.
