Ok . After the long waiting time, here it is. Catalyst 5.11 . This one is official too. As usual, i toked my video card up for some tests.
Here is what i got :

1)=Catalyst 5.10
2)=Catalyst 5.11

---------Aquamark3---------3dmark2001---------3dmark2003-----------

(1)---------34253---------------11485----------------5225-----------------
(2)---------34259---------------11341----------------5229-----------------


Doom 3:

-----------noAA-----------------2xAA---------------4xAA--------------------

1)---------33FPS----------------30.7----------------24.2FPS---------------
2)---------32.8FPS--------------30.5----------------24FPS-----------------

I got some problems with 5.11 in 3dmark2001 ! The frames were going down and up, like they were crazy...
As for Doom 3, i can't say much except that it seems that it runs a bit smoother. No other improvement over the previous version.
I got more frames with 5.11 than 5.10. A good thing. Adaptive AA is once again off, and i wonder why ? Full support for x1k series, it was about time. Thing that bothers me, is that when you play Prince of Persia Warrior Within, the whole screen turns white except the top left corner of the screen. The game is unplayable ! Every other game seems to act normal.
There is not much to say about this driver and at the 1st look. There is not much too special about it if you compare it to the other drivers. But..., there is something that gives this driver an edge over it's brothers. It has a great tweaking potential. Just by turning on Geometry Instancing and setting the AI on advanced, you'll be able to get nice scores.
You should check this driver out because maybe it'll make you a pleasant surprise.

WarAnakin - what card are you using? Solaris17 got decent benchmark performance improvement from 5.11 on his 9800pro, but your change is, for all practical purposes, zero.
