Is it the right place to submit a feature idea?
Not sure if that would be something to implement at the result viewer level, or individually on each test profiles, but on your 3D/game reports you usually give min/max/avg fps. A 95 percentile value would be very much welcome as more representative of how bad the worst case is (especially pertinent for VR and fast paced competitive gaming).

Thanks for the good work on Phoronix and PTS in any case!

Most games sadly only expose average or min/average/maximum and not the per-frame-time data.

For games that expose per-frame time information that is where you see the box plots. The end whisker is the 98th percentile but would be trivial adding a 95th market.

You reported last year about the mesa Vulkan overlay / HUD that provides frame time values ; wouldn't that data be usable for benchmarking purpose?

Doesn't cover the NVIDIA use-case, may interfere with some games, etc. In the past I tried with OpenGL libframetime and basically a host of caveats.
