    Just tested it. Made absolutely no difference in 3dmark or the games i play. I tweaked my Vista a lot though so the difference might not be that noticeable in my case.

    Yeah,
    I use it and I like it. Don't really care about 3dmark scores, but I'm able to play Crysis with everything set to very high accept shading I've got set on high. At these settings gameplay is smooth and fluid. With Gamebooster off the FPS drop a little.

    Give it a shot and see for yourself, it's a small download and is easy to use. I ya don't like it, nothing lost.

    I went to Ati.com and tried to download the 9.3 thing and I went through the Catalyst thingy but how do I know if it changed to the 9.3 driver...I checked my device manager and it states the driver version is 8.570.0.0, which makes me think it did not work...any help would be great...I'll also look around the forums!!
