# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Bpfland` with around 2% higher average FPS compared to other runs. * **Smoothest FPS**: `LAVD` features the lowest standard deviation and variance, leading to smoother FPS. * **Best overall**: `LAVD`, as it combines reasonably high FPS with the smoothest performance. # Issues: * The `LAVD` run shows the lowest GPU load, approximately 2% lower than others, which may indicate underutilization affecting FPS output. * `Bpfland` exhibits excessively high FPS variance, approximately two times more than others, resulting in inconsistent performance. * The hardware and software configurations for all runs are identical, focusing only on the comparison of different schedulers. # Summary This benchmark evaluates various `sched_ext` Linux schedulers when running Cyberpunk 2077 under `CachyOS` with a stable hardware setup using an AMD Ryzen 5700X CPU and an NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti GPU. The `Bpfland` scheduler demonstrated the highest average FPS, although with high variability. On the other hand, the `LAVD` scheduler provided the smoothest performance with the lowest FPS variance, making it the best overall choice for consistent gameplay. The tests revealed that while different `sched_ext` schedulers can impact performance characteristics, each comes with unique trade-offs in terms of FPS and smoothness.
