5 years ago I ran the Benchmark 3 times for each run. Not sure how reviewers do this, it's time consuming and boring =P, anyway... Oh yeah, using Proton 4.11-2

5 years ago Ran benchmark 3 times for each config. fsync isn't turned on by default when using Lutris, used WINEFSYNC=1 to enable.
Lutris + Proton 4.11-2 1440p high(custom)
fsync & esync off: Min: 44.0735342 Max: 136.070210267 Avg: 99.685273267

fsync on: Min: 51.347102867 Max: 179.839206 Avg: 127.200167933
Note: I experience one app crash when running a fsync benchmark, not sure how to create debug logs from Wine, so I haven't tried to replicate yet.

5 years ago Results for Borderlands GOTY Enhanced.
I did crash once when leaving fsync enabled, however I am not sure if that was a one-off or even related to fsync at all.

5 years ago @Plagman I would like for someone else to try by themselves, but this looks like a pretty huge improvement
Title: Greedfall Steam ID: 606880 Notes: It required the mfplat patch to boot (Bacuse of the boot video sequences with companies logo).
System: AMD Ryzen 1700 OCed to 3.6 Ghz AMD RX 580 16 GB RAM
OS: Fedora 30 Kernel: 5.2.11-201.fc30.x86_64 with f-sync (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/gloriouseggroll/kernel/) Mesa Version: (Mesa-ACO) https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/gloriouseggroll/mesa-aco/
The only difference there was using the PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 for testing purposes.
It was weird, because the game is not that impressive on the graphics side, the GPU usage was under 30% and the 16 CPU Threads were with a 75% usage. Then I saw a Youtube Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_MLhvd24QM) and thought the the main difference could be the f-sync kernel patch, so I got it for Fedora and tried again and the game was running incredibly well. After that I tried disabling the f-sync with the Proton flag to check that was it, and it seems so.

What's much more apparent in the graphs is that the frametime is so more more stable with Fsync which is nice to see.
Post your performance results here! If they're a regression, please also report them in the dedicated fsync issue https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2922.
Make sure you're running the same build of Proton 4.11 on both sides (eg. don't compare 4.2 with 4.11), and the only difference is fsync toggled on or off. (PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 vs. not)
