Hello Guys
After releasing the GPU update from Xiaomi on it's own store on china ROM, i decided to use it on my EU ROM and test the result by my own!
Here are the result that shows the performance of GPU has been increased!
Before:

After Upgrade:


So first get a benchmark before upgrading the driver and take an screenshot!
So for those who want to update:
Download this file and move it to your phone:
http://uupload.ir/view/4q48_com.xiaomi.ugd.apk/
Download SAI from playstore, go to setting/Installer and choose rooted
Then from the main screen choose install file and select the apk file and after successful installation Reboot Phone!
That's it! Don't look for any icon because the file is the upgrade itself!
Now get a new benchmark and take an screen shot!
So share both of them here for everyone to see the result!

Not really worth the effort for those marginal gains. No difference in real world performance

Well, test and send report!
Terracotta Vulkan +169
Coastline Vulkan +1413
OpenGL3.1 +487
Is it Marginal?
T Vulcan 54208 with a 169 increase is a 0.3% increase

C Vulcan 81584 with a 1413 increase is a 1.7% increase

Open GL 82180 with a 487 increase is a 0.6% increase

It's marginal and not worth manually updating for

It's your choice not to implement that! One thing is obvious and that's the time the developers expend to make this and they're realize better than both of us and making such an upgrade will have effect!
So, getting that improvement with simple steps, worth it!
