unfortunately, the 9800 Pro/XT and below don't profit from the new drivers with a performance boost.
I've tested it and performance was around 1-3% better or worse depending on the game.

But I'd suggest updating the drivers because of compatibility.

not true here. 4.11s boosted mine from 41-43K in Aqua to the nearly 48K. 3DMark05 is also at about 2550 instead of about 2200.

I'm talking of games. You know... like Bloodlines, Hitman 3, etc.
I know that it boosts some Benchmarks, but that's all.
