+## `0.1.0` — 60 FPS at 1440p — record (2026-11-08)
+
+**Build under test:** packaged `GigLineQA` Development, UE **5.8.4**, Vulkan SM5,
+NVIDIA 615.78.08 (RTX 5070 Ti), Bazzite, Ryzen 7 7700X, 64 GB RAM.
+
+**Documented quality preset** (applied via `-ExecCmds`): all scalability groups at
+3 = Epic — `sg.ViewDistanceQuality 3, sg.ShadowQuality 3,
+sg.GlobalIlluminationQuality 3, sg.ReflectionQuality 3, sg.PostProcessQuality 3,
+sg.TextureQuality 3, sg.EffectsQuality 3, sg.FoliageQuality 3, sg.ShadingQuality 3`.
+
+**Upscaling state (recorded from the run):** `r.AntiAliasingMethod=4` → **TSR on**,
+default screen percentage, `r.VSync=0` (**off**), frame generation **off/unavailable**
+(`r.Streamline.FrameGeneration.Mode` absent → -999).
+
+**Route:** the deterministic `-qaselftest` traversal — spawn
+`(-13336,-1150,456)`, walk forward (+Y) into the block for 2 s. Frame times are
+captured every frame over that route (829 frames), not a single sample.
+
+**Result at 2560×1440:**
+
+| Metric | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Frames captured | 829 |
+| Average | **2.42 ms → 414 fps** |
+| p50 | 2.38 ms |
+| p95 | 2.71 ms |
+| p99 | 3.01 ms (≈332 fps) |
+| Max | 4.00 ms |
+
+**Verdict: PASS** — worst-case p99 is ~3 ms (≈330 fps), far above the 60 FPS
+target without frame generation.
+
+**Variance note:** two back-to-back runs measured ~9.2 ms (≈108 fps) when another
+game instance / busy compositor overlapped the capture; repeated clean runs
+(windowed and fullscreen, Wayland and X11 drivers, window focused) all measured
+~2.4–2.5 ms. The high outlier is recorded here rather than hidden.
