Says an increase in performance in Stalker Clear sky which happens to be new game of choice. Just finished loading the driver update (always a hassle with ATI drivers for some reason) and I'm about to get to the gaming. Just curious if anyone else has had any time with the newest drivers yet.

I'll return with my findings in a bit. Maybe also run 3dMark06 to see if I moved up any points as well.

Well not major gains in 3dMark06. Last test with 8.522.0.0 driver got me 18392 3DMarks. This test with 8.561.0.0 driver got me 18359 3DMarks. Nothing really measurable to be reported.
