Bullsh*t !
There is no change, absolutely no change, I got the exact same scores/fps in games with the new 8.7 as I had with 8.6, on my standard clocked 4870.
I dunno what things these drivers do, but speed isn't improved at all.
wavetrex, did you read the games that were improved?
and the cards improved.... the lower cards almost always get the best improvements. Read elsewhere the high gains are generally 3600 and 3400 cards. I do recall seeing something listing up to 4% improvement in 48x0 cards... just a few games though I think.
the 4800 does not have much to improve to date... perhaps Crossfirex improves... will test it later with my HD3870...
I play games, not benchmarks...
