Sorry for posting a reply right under another reply by , but this is pretty okayish reason ^^.
I've been keeping a little spreadsheet of my 3DMark03 scores with the different catalyst drivers, and what ever Ati have been doing, its been working (sort of)!
All these scores have been on the defualt setting, but on a loop of 3 times for each test so i could get a more accurate score. It does show that there drivers do actually do something, not much, but still something .
Yes, i was pretty suprised with the 1st jump, the second wasnt really much. We'll have to wait till net week when ati release 4.8 to see how much the jump will be (ya know im kidden).
