Speed test scenes (benchmark)none comparable
Not compared: 4 scenes with a paced frame rate (compute_nbody, pipeline_barriers, pipeline_barriers_2160p, subpasses). At least one of the two drivers was held at a fixed frame rate there, so the two times do not measure the same thing.

Feature checks that differ
Qualcomm_840_adpkg: no driver check (validation report) yet. Both drivers need a driver check before their feature checks can be compared.
Speed test scenes (benchmark)
The two drivers were not measured on the same set of device models. Frame times from different devices do not compare drivers, so read these numbers with that in mind.

Time to draw one frame, per scene: the average (mean) frame time of the scene's best round, which is how many frames the driver delivered; lower is faster. "Typical" beside it is the median frame, which can sit well under the average when a driver's frames come in two speeds. A pair of reports made before per-round averages were recorded is compared on the median. A scene whose rounds disagree by more than 15% is left out. A scene marked "paced" was held at that mean frame time by the driver or the display queue, together with at least one other scene of the same run; its time says how the frames were spaced, not how fast the driver rendered, so it is not compared. A scene marked "too light" took under 8 ms at the standard size (1920 by 1080) on both drivers, where the screen's frame queue spaces the frames more than the chip does; its heavier run is the one compared: the row ending in _2160p is the scene drawn at 3840 by 2160, and compute_nbody_2x is that scene with twice the particles. "Faster" and "slower" describe Balemuni_Apex_v2_ULTIMATE_SD8Gen2 against Qualcomm_840_adpkg. "Picture vs stock" compares one fixed frame per scene as a coarse colour grid (0 is identical, above 40 is a different picture); it finds a scene that was not drawn. Where both reports carry the finer 64x36 grid, the second figure is how many of its 2,304 cells differ by more than 4 of 255, and "worst" is the largest single cell; this is what finds a small rendering error in a picture that otherwise matches. A row marked 16x9 comes from a report made before the finer grid existed. "Starts" is how many of a scene's process starts reached a measured round. A GPU clock marked "not comparable" differed by more than 5% of the device's maximum between the two timings.
Technical differences (Vulkan)
Both drivers need a driver check (validation report) before their technical details (Vulkan) can be compared.
