I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but ATi released updated version of their RTM drivers on December 13th. I've installed their previous RTM drivers, and it's really been horrible trying to run any games on my system with a decent FPS. After installing the updated drivers, graphics performance is noteably better. I can now run Need For Speed Carbon at near max settings (similiar to in XP), and still get amazing framerates (again, similiar to how it performed under XP.) Is anybody else noticing substancial improvements?
