# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `04 6.8rc6 cachyos proton-8-cachyos fastsync (old)` with an average FPS that is approximately 1% higher than the second best. * **Smoothest FPS**: `02 6.12.6 cachyos proton-cachyos-ntsync ntsync` due to its FPS variance being approximately 20% lower than the next option. * **Best overall**: `02 6.12.6 cachyos proton-cachyos-ntsync ntsync` provides a balance with high FPS and low variance, offering approximately 20% better smoothness compared to others without sacrificing FPS significantly. # Issues: * The configurations using the older kernel version, particularly those labeled as "old", have a considerably lower GPU core clock compared to newer configurations, affecting their overall performance relative to other runs. * Additionally, both older tests utilize a different Linux scheduler (`powersave`), which appears to contribute to higher GPU power usage compared to newer configurations. # Summary The benchmark compares performance across various configurations of CachyOS with specific focus on different versions and kernel schedulers. The newer configuration employing `proton-cachyos-ntsync` showcases a significant improvement in both FPS and smoothness, indicating better overall gaming performance. The older configurations, despite achieving high FPS, display greater variability in frame delivery and suffer from less efficient resource usage owing to the use of the `powersave` scheduler and an older kernel version. The differences in GPU clock speeds and power utilization further emphasize the performance advantages of the more current setup.
