# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `LAVD-minslice-1ms` with a mean FPS that is around 5% higher than other runs. * **Smoothest FPS**: `LAVD-minslice-1ms-maxslice-20ms`, demonstrating the lowest standard deviation and variance in FPS by approximately 22%. * **Best overall**: `LAVD-minslice-1ms`, combining high FPS and smooth frame times where FPS mean and stability are well-balanced. # Issues: * The run utilizing the `FLASH-5ms` scheduler showcased higher instability in frame times with a variance that is over 50% greater than the other runs. * The `FLASH` runs displayed a significant drop in mean FPS, approximately 3% lower compared to others in the same setup. * One of the `RUSTY-FIFO-5ms` runs had notably higher FPS variance at approximately 130% versus other scheduler variants, indicating less consistent performance. # Summary This benchmark evaluates the impact of various BPF-based schedulers on the gaming performance of `AC Unity`. The systems were uniformly configured with `CachyOS` running on an `AMD FX-6300` processor, using the `RADV PITCAIRN` for GPU operations. Among the schedulers tested, the `LAVD-minslice-1ms` scheduler emerged as a consistent top performer, offering the best trade-off between high average FPS and smoothness, which is crucial for a seamless gaming experience. Meanwhile, the `FLASH` and some `RUSTY` variants indicated performance variances, which could benefit from further optimization or adjustments.
