cs2_2025-01-05_12-48-22 gsp OFF Steam Runtime 3 (sniper) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11400 @ 2.60GHz 17 GB 6.12.8-2-cachyos
# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `cs2_2025-01-05_12-48-22 gsp OFF` with marginally higher mean FPS. * **Smoothest FPS**: `cs2_2025-01-05_12-29-30 gsp ON` due to lower standard deviation and variance of FPS. * **Best overall**: `cs2_2025-01-05_12-29-30 gsp ON` because while having slightly lower FPS, it offers better consistency and smoothness. # Issues: * The benchmark with GPU System Processor (GSP) turned off shows significantly larger variance in FPS and stability issues compared to when GSP is on, despite the slight increase in average FPS. * The temperature of the GPU is notably higher with GSP off, which could potentially affect long-term performance and thermal throttling. # Summary In this benchmark comparison of the `Counter-Strike 2` map testing with `GSP` on versus off, the test run with `GSP` enabled exhibits better stability and frame consistency, making it the superior choice overall. The run with `GSP` off slightly edges out in raw average FPS but not enough to outweigh its higher fluctuations and increased GPU temperatures. This analysis suggests that enabling `GSP` might lead to a more reliable gaming experience on the tested NVIDIA module setup.
