The jist of it:

-Bug fixes
-small performance increases (almost negligible) in mark03 and mark05
-small performance increase (almost negligible) in doom3
-appreciable performance increase in HL2.

personally, I'll be upgrading to 5.1 after work tonight. See no reason not
to.

I have had trouble with the new cats 4.12 and 5.01 if I try to watch a
DVD with my AIW 9800 pro, the pc freezes up and the vpu recover kicks
in, when turning vpu recover off i just get a bsod. so back to 4.11 for
me, the only "new" one that doesnt crash my system.

Note the HL2 performance gains disappear under AA/aniso. When the game is
hard fillrate-limited, no driver optimizations will help... then again, at
118 fps no one will notice anyway.

For the card used in testing - no word on other cards.

I'll be upgrading to 5.1 after work tonight, after taking a complete backup
using Drive Image and sacrificing a virgin or two (around here... I might
have to settled for goats).
