    i notice always when i upgrade my video drivers for amd my scores always get higher in 3dmark and other benchmarks programs.... (some beta give not a boost but almost every new driver, beta or not gives a boost)
    Anybody else also noticing? Think AMD is doing a very good jobs with their drivers on this moment, maybe not enduro, i dont know, dont use it.
