Looks like these are pre-release drivers and not intended for Customer Release.

Runned 2 benchmarks, one with stock drivers, included in chroma latest rom, using with despair 32 kernel

Stock driver

New driver

What I think is that there is no significant difference, I'm lazy to run the test again, but somebody can do.

Just a observation, my nexus 6 is scoring higher than any snapdragon 810 device, at least in the table chart

Won't download through either of the links, any suggestions? Running 6.0

Any suggestions neither of the download links seem to be working for me?

Yes, read the last line of the OP. You're welcome.

We need a custom recovery to flash this? Or we can through stock recovery?

with the regular marshmallow gpu driver, itll probably be the same for both, or close enough..

Maybe they can release something that will fix the screen tearing / double screen issue some people have had

Thats a hardware issue.. Had this happen and certain kernels made it worse.. Sent phone back and theis replacement has not seen the issue since running the most conservative settings possible

The way the description is worded it sounds like these are a Preview of the drivers already in 6.0, but for developers to debug. So really they shouldn't be any different other then just not being quality checked like the Stock 6.0 ones are.

Is there a way to check the divers version numbers?

 

[mastero9017]

New drivers in OP!
