Pratically everything uses graphics acceleration,so yes scrolling,redraw etc..

3D is better. 2D also. But cpu is 200-250 points worse! Why?
Before was over 700 and now under 500..?

Opera mini and tapatalk scroling is better. Everything feels smother!

 

[arcatarc]

I know,antutu don't give "always" same results,however gpu driver only affects gpu,try many times and you'll see how the values are different time to time..

Tried few times. But cpu is low. It is not important.. In quickpic photos and video loads fast. Instantly. Photo open fast. Video with mx player also fast..before there was load time 1-3 sec. Now instant, or max 1 sec.

Cpu is not that important i think. It is rearly pushed to the limits.. 3D is important for everyday usage. For now looks better. UI is smoother, load times shorter.

Also. Most of my apps are on system. 44mb free on system and 260mb free on data partition, user.
Cleared cashe and dalvik.

Later, after 2-3 restarts i get better cpu:

 

[arcatarc]

Mmmm,from my experience cpu point is increased only from overclock (i never experienced significant changes with various gpu driver) are you sure you made the comparison at the same freq. ?

Yes. I have locked bootloader. Stock 4.0.4 v.587. Just root. Cpu point drop was big, 200-250..so thats why was strange to me..

Maybe needs to settle down. Benchmark is not important as long it works and feels great!

Man, thanks for this drivers, works great!!!
Scrolling is much more smooth (when scroll a long list), the gaming is smooth as ever on a ICS rom, I'm playing Dead Trigger and Shadowgun Deadzone on Tegra quality. Album app load photos instantly like mlesic bro said. My Live Walkman is much better now

After flashing Xs drives(latest) my phone goes for 5% more faster. When opening phonebook, walkman,walkman galery, scrolling.
But CPU was 892 and after flashing its 656 now! Using CTC 2.8 1.4mhz!
THX good Job !
ANTUTU second test is CPU now 911 but was 656! STOCK ROM was 892 SO WE CAN SEE LITTLE PROGRESS !
THX again...............

That's common with antutu and some other benchmarks.

The best way to test, is to enable airplane mode (let it settle for 2 minutes) and run the benchmark for 5 times.
And keep the ones that are the highest (because these show the biggest mark you can get, without any background app interfering.)

Another way is to renice antutu to -20. Normally renice -20 `pidof com.antutu.ABenchMark` in terminal (you need to type su 1st) after opening antutu will do it.
Also when testing adreno libs, the fastest way, is to bench only 2d/3d performance.
