# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `performance 6.13rc4` with a slightly higher mean FPS compared to all other runs. * **Smoothest FPS**: `performance 6.12.6` as it has the lowest standard deviation indicating smoother frame times. * **Best overall**: `performance 6.13rc4` as it offers the highest FPS with comparable frame time stability to the smoothest run. # Issues: * The `powersave` configuration in both kernel versions results in significantly lower FPS, approximately 13% lower compared to other power profiles, indicating it is not suitable for optimal gaming performance. * The `powersave` configuration also shows higher frame time variance, around 38% more, pointing to less consistent performance compared to the other power profiles. # Summary This benchmark compares the performance of different Linux kernel versions, specifically `6.12.6` and `6.13rc4`, across various power profiles (`powersave`, `balanced`, and `performance`) on a Rocket League replay using a Ryzen 5700X and RTX 3060 Ti. The results highlight that using the `performance` power profile with the latest kernel `6.13rc4` yields the best FPS performance with acceptable stability. Meanwhile, `powersave` mode significantly degrades FPS and frame time consistency across both kernels, making it less ideal for gaming scenarios. Upgrading the kernel and utilizing the `performance` mode provides noticeable improvements over `powersave`, reflecting the impact of both kernel optimizations and power management settings on gaming performance.
