So today I decided to update the drivers for my 9800 pro. I was running the Catalyst 4 drivers which I downloaded back in Febuary. Today I downlaoded the 4.3 drivers, but before I installed them I decided I was going to compare Aquamark benchmarks between the two sets of drivers. Here are the results:


Cat 4.0 : 32,452

Cat 4.3: 37,693


Wow!! A jump of more than 5,000 points, or in terms of Aquamark, about an extra 5 fps (16% increase in performance). I have never experienced THIS much difference simply between driver series. This may not seem like a big deal to the average comp user, but I'm sure all the modders out there can appreciate it.

Nice, do you think this would work for a 9700 pro too?

And, if it does work for a 9700 pro as well, can it get Windoze to recognize my card as 8x?

Mobo - Asus P4S8X, latest Bios edition (I believe)
Processor - Intel P4 2.4B
512 MB PC 2100 Samsung
ATI Radeon 9700 PRO 128 MB
WD 80GB, Maxtor 160GB, Asus 52x24x52 cd-rw
WinXP Pro SP1

Any help would be appreciated.
