well Considering AMD went from releasing a driver every month to Every Other Month, it gives them time to Fix and Improve Performance, Hence the Testing done here seen some scary Gains that Put AMD on top and Caused NV to worry and you notice driver betas from them more often now

Over? beta4? or older than 12.11b? Cause I remember 12.11b drivers bringing huge improvements in 3DMark11, Like, R7970 GHz getting from 9500 before, almost 11000 now, in Performance run, and 2950 to 3350 in Extreme.

I keep wondering, since Sea Islands will be pretty similar architecturally, will we still see 7-10 months later, improvements like these? I'd love for R8000s to be impressive from the get-go, then if we get a 5-20% performance boost with drivers alone later on, even better...
