Custom driver against stock, per scene. Bars to the right are faster, to the left slower.

Small areas of the picture differ from the stock driver in 2 scenes (pipeline_barriers: 1337 of 2304 cells, pipeline_barriers_2160p: 1038 of 2304 cells). The picture matches overall, so this is a local rendering fault, not a different scene.

Not on equal terms: the GPU clock differed during 4 of these scenes (for example compute_nbody_2x: stock at 88% of the device's maximum, custom at 100%). Part of the frame-time difference comes from the clock the device chose, not from the driver.

Not compared: 3 scenes with a paced frame rate (compute_nbody, pipeline_barriers, 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.

Not on equal terms: the GPU clock differed during 3 of these scenes (for example oit_linked_lists: stock at 88% of the device's maximum, custom at 100%). Part of the frame-time difference comes from the clock the device chose, not from the driver.

17 more features that only some of these drivers offer

"unsupported" means the driver does not offer the feature. "untested" means it offers the feature and the app has no check for it yet.

All drivers (7)

Choose a graphics driver to see what works on it, which Windows games it could run, and its technical details (Vulkan features, limits, and extensions).

likelymaybelimitednoThe colored tags are an estimate of which games a driver could run, from its test results. DX9 to DX12 are kinds of Windows games. The year on a tag is when that kind first came out, so DX11 2009+ means Windows games made from 2009 on. Switch is Switch games. Both are played on Android through an emulator app.

Drivers the devices came with (stock) 2

Each build shipped in a device's own software. A system update can replace it with a newer build.

Community-built drivers (Turnip) 4

Open-source drivers built by the community and loaded by an emulator or a game launcher in place of the stock one.

Drivers from the chip makers, loaded in place of the stock one 1

These were loaded as a custom driver, and the chip then reported its maker's own driver. Either the package holds another build of the maker's driver, or the custom driver did not load and the stock one ran.
