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)!
Catalyst 4.5 3DMark03 Score: 5508
Catalyst 4.6 3DMark03 Score: 5714
Catalyst 4.7 3DMark03 Score: 5771
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
