GTA 5 Performance on Linux (Ultra Settings) + preempt full – Ubuntu 24.04

If preempt=full is used in the kernel parameters as suggested here https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-04-boosts-gaming-performance/45721 we end up with even MORE FPS.

From the 100-110 FPS on Ubuntu 23.10
To the 140-170 FPS on Ubuntu 24.04
To the 160-180 FPS on Ubuntu 24.04 + preempt=full

So there is a 50+ FPS boost performance between Ubuntu 23.10 and 24.04. The average FPS on my previous video was between 90 FPS and 120 FPS, where as, on Ubuntu 24.04, the average is between 150 FPS and 180 FPS. Meaning, a 50% average boost to a 100% boost (if we compare the lowest FPS from 23.10 to the highest one on 24.04). Then on top of the previous boost, we get a n additional 20+ FPS with preempt=full

Note that the max is capped at the 188 FPS because the game will not allow higher FPS for some reason. So we have just literally hit the FPS cap limit several times here.
