# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `BPFLAND` with a slight edge in average FPS compared to others. * **Smoothest FPS**: `LAVD`, having the lowest standard deviation and variance among all runs. * **Best overall**: `BPFLAND` provides the highest average FPS while maintaining a smooth performance, making it the best overall choice. # Issues: * The run using `performance` scheduler has a lower average FPS, about 2% less compared to others with `schedutil`. * The discrepancy in both FPS and frame time stability is notable, suggesting a potential issue with how the `performance` mode is handling CPU tasks. * The `performance` runs are consistently at a higher CPU load, by approximately 2%, which did not translate into better performance. # Summary The benchmark conducted on `CachyOS` with an `AMD Radeon R7 370` and `AMD FX-6300` using different Linux schedulers highlights varying impacts on performance metrics. `schedutil` scheduler provides the best balance, delivering higher average FPS and smoother performance compared to `performance` scheduler on the same hardware setup. Despite higher CPU load observed in the `performance` setup, it did not translate into better FPS or stability, suggesting inefficiencies in resource allocation.
