model view controller - Doesn't ASP.Net MVC redraw page? -

i had webforms/mvc discussion developer. tried tell me mvc better because, amongst other things, out of box whole page not posted , redrawn, thereby eliminating screen flicker associated full postback. understand many of benefits of mvc (most of can accomplished in webforms mvp pattern), have experienced screen flicker in mvc apps.

so question is, doesn't asp.net mvc also, out of box, post entire page?

thanks in advance, j
