# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Cyberpunk2077_2025-01-11_nobara-new-kernel` with around 2% higher FPS compared to the other runs. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Cyberpunk2077_2025-01-11_nobara-new-kernel` as it has the lowest standard deviation and variance in FPS. * **Best overall**: `Cyberpunk2077_2025-01-11_nobara-new-kernel` with a combination of highest FPS and smoothest performance across all metrics. # Summary This benchmark evaluates the impact of different Linux kernel versions on game performance using a consistent hardware configuration. The testing involved the transition from a standard `fsync` kernel to a `nobara` new kernel, both running the `performance` Linux scheduler. The version labeled with `nobara-new-kernel` demonstrated superior FPS results and smoother performance, indicating that the `nobara` kernel optimizations are beneficial in this gaming context on the tested hardware. While the minimal kernel improvements in the other versions showcased competitive results, they fell short of achieving the same level of consistency and overall performance.
