Anyone saw any difference yet?

Tried it and I see no performance increase not even a bit, sadly. Tested on Minion Rush , Vainglory. I have to revert back to KK to get the performance I need from N7 2013, damn you Google !

Had tried to benchmark using antutu and kept getting unexpected close when gets to 3D benchmark. Flashed your zip for nexus 7 2013 and antutu completed w/o issues. Thanks for posting

Similar experience. AnTuTu did not complete w/ Factory Drivers, but was able to with these preview drivers.

2 benchmarks that did run before / after (basemark & 3d Mark) had slight improvements (<5%). I have screenshots. Will upload shortly.

Before & After for AnTuTu, Basemark, & 3d Mark. AnTuTu has a huge jump because the 3D didn't complete

Stock mra58v rooted

Now tried to flash cleat mta58k and flashed this zip. The same problem, stuck on google logo

I tried to flash it in some variants:
1st variant:

• Clearly flashed MK49V (or MK49K, as i tried there is no difference it my problems) image via fastboot
• Flashed TWRP
• Than flashing this drivers

Device is booting and vorking normally, but if i will flash supersu to root it (tried 2.52 beta and 2.46 versions) it will cause bootloop (on colored animated logo)

2nd variant:
All the same as 1st variant, but supersu is flashed first and only then this drivers.
Device is not booting (but affter flashing su everything is ok, problems only affter flashing gpu drivers), it is stucked on Google logo (so the system is not starting, it is even not bootloop)

Doesn't matter, if i already booted to system and configured it, or just flashed everything in a row. Also tied to flash it with ElementalX kernel

So as i understand it got conflict beetween su and drivers (i'm just telling my opinion).
Which way you're rooted your device?

P.S. is anybody installed xposed? i cant flash it, it is got an error (no space). any solutions?

odd. i'm MRA58V too. stock rooted.

one variant is that i am using Elemental-X 5.05 kernel.

also, i'm using Systemless Root with SuperSU 2.56

OK in Nexus 7 aosp. Falsh and smooth. Now chromium browser with Qualcomm optimisation is fantastic.

I notice a pretty substantial difference. Prior to flashing the updated drivers, I could not play 1080p 60fps videos, without it being extremely choppy, or not at all depending on the video bitrate. Specifically with regards to twitch, if a channel I followed happened to broadcasted in 1080p 60fps, I would have to take the stream off of source, and reduce the quality down to high.
