# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `EEVDF` - Provides the highest average FPS percentage compared to other runs. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Bpfland` - Exhibits the lowest standard deviation and variance of FPS, indicating the most consistent frame rate. * **Best overall**: `EEVDF` - Balances a high FPS with acceptable variance, offering a strong performance without significant fluctuation. # Issues: * The `LAVD --performance` shows a considerable drop in FPS mean and a significant increase in frame time variance compared to other runs. * `LAVD` configuration similarly presents a notably lower FPS and higher variance, suggesting stability issues. * Both `LAVD` and `LAVD --performance` diverge from the others in performance, indicating possible efficiency or compatibility concerns with the scheduled setup. # Summary This benchmark compares different `SCX` schedulers against the default `EEVDF` scheduler in a controlled gaming scenario using Linux kernel `6.13rc6`. The `EEVDF` scheduler stands out in terms of highest FPS, revealing its potential as a robust option for optimizing frames in gaming contexts. While EEVDF offers high FPS, the `SCX Bpfland` configuration provides the most consistent frame rates, crucial for reducing jitter and delivering a stable gaming experience. However, configurations using `LAVD` underperformed in comparison, highlighting potential room for improvement in their implementation or specific situational inefficiencies. Overall, the benchmark suggests `EEVDF` as a promising default, but certain `SCX` schedulers show potential for further investigation and tuning.
