<think> Okay, so I'm looking at this benchmark report for a game or some graphics application. The user provided a detailed set of data from their system during testing. Let me try to break this down and understand what it all means. First, the system specs: they're running CachyOS on an AMD Custom APU 0405 with an AMD Custom GPU 0405, which is using RADV VANGOGH. The CPU is an APU, so that's a processor with integrated graphics, right? And they have 16GB of RAM, which should be plenty for most applications. Looking at the FPS stats: Count is 467 frames, which probably means they captured data over a few minutes or so. The low end is about 30 FPS, but the mean is around 43.8, with a median of 44.29. That's decent, but I notice that the top 97% is 52.2 FPS. So most frames are between 30 and 52, which isn't super smooth, maybe some stuttering? The standard deviation is about 5.25, so there's a bit of variation in frame rates. Frame time has a mean of around 23.19 milliseconds. Wait, that's actually good because higher FPS would have lower frame times. But wait, if the average frame time is ~23ms, that corresponds to about 43 FPS (since 1000/23 ≈ 43). So that matches up with the mean FPS. CPU load is pretty high: average of 77%, which makes sense since it's an APU handling both CPU and GPU tasks. The median is around 77%, so most frames are under heavy CPU usage, which might contribute to some frame drops or increased latency. GPU load is even higher, averaging 91.95% with a median of 94%. That's really high. So the GPU is working hard here. The low end is 84%, but it's touching 99% at times. High GPU usage can lead to frame drops and increased latency because the GPU is struggling to keep up. Temperatures are next: CPU temp averages around 85°C, which is quite hot. Median is also 85, so that's a consistent temperature. The GPU temp is around 80.3°C on average, but I'm concerned about the CPU being at 85 consistently. That might lead to thermal throttling issues, causing FPS drops or other performance hits. GPU core clock is averaging about 1186 MHz with peaks up to 1315 MHz. The mem clock is fixed at 687 MHz, which makes sense if it's a custom GPU, maybe that's the default setting. VRAM usage is low, around 0.97 GB on average. That suggests they're not hitting memory constraints, so the VRAM isn't a bottleneck here. GPU power is averaging ~4.5W with peaks up to 6W. Considering it's an integrated GPU, that's a decent amount of power draw but manageable. RAM usage is around 8.25 GB, which is fine on 16GB. Swap usage is negligible, so they're not running out of RAM either. Putting this all together: The system is handling the workload okay in terms of CPU and GPU usage, but temperatures are quite high for the CPU. High GPU load at around 90% suggests that maybe the game or application is graphics-intensive, pushing the GPU to its limits. However, since VRAM isn't maxed out, it's not a memory issue. The FPS is decent enough on average, but there's noticeable variation with some lower frames dipping down to 30. This could be due to CPU or GPU contention during more intensive moments in the game. The high temperatures might also lead to thermal throttling, causing momentary drops in performance, which would explain the lower end of the FPS range. I'm wondering if there are optimizations they can make, like reducing graphical settings or increasing the resolution, but wait, no—higher settings usually require more resources. Maybe adjusting in-game settings to balance performance and visuals better could help reduce CPU and GPU load. Another thought: Since both CPU and GPU are working so hard, maybe upgrading to a dedicated GPU with more VRAM and better thermal cooling could help bring those temperatures down and maintain higher FPS consistency. Alternatively, ensuring that the system's cooling is adequate might prevent thermal throttling issues. They should also check if there are any background processes using CPU or GPU resources, which could be contributing to the high loads. Maybe closing unnecessary apps or optimizing settings in the OS could free up some resources. In summary, while the system is performing adequately with an average FPS of 43.8 and decent frame times, the high CPU and GPU usage coupled with elevated temperatures indicate potential areas for improvement to achieve smoother performance and prevent thermal issues. </think> The benchmark results indicate a balanced but stressed system performance: 1. **Performance Metrics:** - **FPS:** The game runs at an average of 43.8 FPS with some fluctuations, suggesting decent performance with minor stuttering during intense moments. - **Frame Time:** Average frame time of ~23.2 ms corresponds well to the mean FPS, indicating stable rendering most of the time. 2. **Resource Utilization:** - **CPU Load:** High average usage (~77%) suggests significant CPU involvement, possibly due to intensive tasks beyond just graphics. - **GPU Load:** Extremely high at ~91.95%, indicating heavy graphical workload, likely leading to some frame drops during peak activity. 3. **Thermal Considerations:** - **CPU Temperature:** Consistently around 85°C, which is concerning and may lead to thermal throttling. - **GPU Temperature:** Averages ~80.3°C, also warm but within acceptable limits for integrated GPUs. 4. **Recommendations:** - **Optimization:** Adjust in-game settings to balance performance and visuals, reducing stress on CPU and GPU. - **Hardware Consideration:** Upgrading to a dedicated GPU with better cooling could alleviate thermal issues and improve consistency. - **Cooling Check:** Ensure proper system cooling to prevent thermal throttling during extended use. In conclusion, while the system performs adequately, addressing high resource utilization and thermal management could enhance overall performance stability.
