Small areas of the picture differ from the stock driver in 2 scenes (pipeline_barriers: 1372 of 2304 cells, pipeline_barriers_2160p: 1414 of 2304 cells). The picture matches overall, so this is a local rendering fault, not a different scene.

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.
