So far i am personally finding these drivers great the clarity the performance are amassing.
Even the Text and texture on desktop and in games are better now and more readable.
As of this moment and only been testing these drivers for all of 5 hrs i have not found any flaws bugs or glitches in them. I intened on running benchmarks tomorrow to compare them with the last driver set to see if there is a difference i will add that to this thread tomorrow once i have tested.

These drivers are a goddess-send. The graphics are sharper, but what I'm most pleased with is that the text is crisper and easier for me to read... even the smaller print.
