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.
