# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `WoW_Windows2` with a significantly higher average FPS compared to the others. * **Smoothest FPS**: `WoW_Hyprland` due to its lower standard deviation and variance in FPS, indicating smoother performance. * **Best overall**: `WoW_Hyprland` balances good FPS and the smoothest frame rate amongst the Linux-based runs, even though slightly lower than Windows. # Issues: * The Windows comparison uses a different operating system, which could influence performance comparisons, particularly evident in higher GPU power usage and lower CPU load efficiency. * The VRAM usage differs in the Windows run compared to the Linux runs, which might indicate a different configuration or benchmarking approach not directly comparable to GPU performance. * Windows run does not detail CPU specifications, which may affect understanding load and temperature differences. # Summary The benchmark compares three configurations: two on `CachyOS` using `Hyprland` and `Wayland` environments, and a third on `Windows`. The Windows setup outperforms in terms of raw FPS but displays higher variability in frame times and greater GPU power consumption. Within the Linux runs, `Hyprland` provides the most balanced and smooth performance, even though slightly less FPS than Windows. These comparisons highlight the efficiency discrepancies between Linux and Windows environments for running the same application on similar hardware setups using `NVIDIA RTX 3080` and `AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D`.
