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?

 

[sublifer]

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.

 

[goonting]

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...
