# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Bpfland-testing GSP OFF` - This run exhibited the highest average FPS. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Bpfland-testing GSP OFF` - This run had the lowest FPS variance, indicating the most stable performance. * **Best overall**: `Bpfland-testing GSP OFF` - Given the highest FPS and the smoothest FPS, this run represents the best balance between performance and stability. # Issues: * When comparing the run with the proprietary driver and GSP OFF against the open driver with GSP ON, there is a significant drop in FPS—approximately 10% lower. The relatively higher FPS variance implies less stable performance with open drivers. * Although the "next" and "testing" labels with GSP OFF resulted in similar performance outputs, the variance in FPS among the respective GSP ON configurations indicates potential instability or inefficiency in the open driver configurations. * Across all configurations, the performance variability when GSP is turned on suggests that open driver configurations were less optimized compared to proprietary configurations. # Summary This benchmark evaluates the performance impact of using NVIDIA's open drivers with GSP ON as opposed to closed drivers with GSP OFF in `Rocket League`. The proprietary driver (GSP OFF) configurations generally achieved better FPS and stability across all variations (`Bpfland`, `Bpfland-next`, `Bpfland-testing`). The open driver configurations displayed higher variability and reduced performance, pointing to less optimization in these settings. Therefore, leveraging NVIDIA's closed drivers and running GSP OFF with the `Bpfland-testing` version provides the best overall experience.
