Gesamtleistung vs Leistung

performance / output / benefit

'die Leistung' and 'die Gesamtleistung' can both describe what a person, a team, a machine, or a system achieves. 'Leistung' can mean an individual performance or the quality of a result. 'Gesamtleistung' means the sum of all performances or the total technical power output of a system. So the word is more precise when several parts are being considered together. They can be confused because they sound similar and occur in work, sports, or technology contexts. If you mean just one individual result, 'Leistung' is enough. If everything together is meant, 'Gesamtleistung' fits better.

Visual example for Leistung
Gesamtleistung

Die Gesamtleistung der Anlage steigt, wenn alle Motoren gleichzeitig laufen.

The system's total power output increases when all the motors run at the same time.
