I have the k30 pro zoom, I got the app from the Xiaomi getapps store, this can be downloaded as an apk. Search for GPU updater. This doesn't install as an app so you won't find it, however it is installed in the system and receives updates.

Nice, thanks for the info, I didnt know about drivers update on android. Do I need reupdate drivers every time I update MIUI??
EDIT: ok after hours searching the apk, it's impossible find it even in the Xiaomi app store... so I guess they removed it from store. Can you guys upload the GPU driver update apk??
"GPU驅動程式更新" is the apk name.
EDIT2: I found the adreno drivers XDA thread in pocophone F1 forum, works for all adreno 600s series and they have it in magisk modules. And the source for 865 drivers is the xiaomi chinese app, so it's the same driver but in magisk module.

Can anyone provide the GPU Updater apk? I can't find the apk in Chinese Store. Or there's any way to update it?

---

We can't install the Xiaomi Store on a custom rom, so I tried to find the updater's apk. I'm not sure that this is working, but it seems legit (name, icon and package name is the same in the video):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-0fML3R4XxdXlAUbXVK_Cb2Ng5xKvfTF/view
I can't test it because I just ordered my phone but I was able to install it on my Mi Note 2.

---

Before we install that Apk, we need to root first or not? :crying:

Did anyone tried this? I was searching through the net to get the driver, but its not available anymore even on Xiaomi store. Poco may not be compatible with it as others suggested..

No, you just have to install the apk and reboot the phone.
I suggest to run the benchmark 1-2 times, install the apk, reboot the phone and run the benchmark again and compare the result numbers. With these steps we can check if it works or not.

I tried install the apk and impossible, I get system app error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And if I install with SIA and root permission or Mixplorer copying in system/priv-app, phone bootloop because we cant manipulate partitions yet with chinese TWRP... how can I try the app? same thing happen with Adreno drivers from the other source, Magisk module not working or I get bootloop.

installing gpu driver (reboot phone) and enabling the benchmark does not work for me.. is there any other option besides rooting the phone?

What do you mean not working? Do you have before and after result? Of your antutu?

You cant install it in unlocked, rooted and with custom TWRP phones, modifying partitions or system files result in fastboot bootloop, I guess it's because the bugged chinese TWRP. I use Xiaomi.eu MIUI 12 rooted and bootloader unlocked.

Ahm okay. My phone is not rooted yet and not also unlock the bootloader. I need to wait 167 hours so I can now unlock my bootloader, root and change the rom to EU Rom.

Can't install it. It says that I can't install system apps from unofficial sources

This reply is confusing to me. Can you please confirm your GPU drivers were updated on Xiaomi.eu MIUI 12 rom when rooted and having bootloader unlocked? And you tried that on Redmi K30 Pro, right? Me too, so I just use apk from google drive? Thanks.

Install using Magisk Canary to overcome bootloop issue.

I managed to install it on mine. Didn't give much boost for me.
