# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `TheGreatCircle_NTSYNC_MESA` with approximately 1% higher average FPS than the next best run. * **Smoothest FPS**: `TheGreatCircle_NTSYNC_AMDVLK` with the lowest standard deviation and variance in FPS, indicating high stability. * **Best overall**: `TheGreatCircle_NTSYNC_AMDVLK` as it provides solid FPS along with the smoothest performance. # Issues: * The runs using `AMDVLK` drivers have lower average FPS by about 7% compared to those using `MESA` drivers. * The `FSYNC` setting with `AMDVLK` shows about 8% more variance in FPS compared to its `NTSYNC` counterpart, indicating less stable performance. # Summary The benchmark compared both synchronization methods, `FSYNC` and `NTSYNC`, across two different driver implementations, `MESA` and `AMDVLK`, on a consistent hardware and software setup. The results highlight that while `NTSYNC` generally offers a slightly higher average FPS across the board, the `AMDVLK` drivers struggle to match the performance and consistency offered by `MESA`. Specifically, when using `NTSYNC` paired with `AMDVLK`, the combination resulted in the smoothest overall gameplay experience, albeit with slightly lower FPS compared to `MESA`. Therefore, choosing the right synchronization method and driver stack can significantly impact both the frame stability and performance of a system.
