The new catalyst 4.11 drivers installed on my x800 pro gave me an extra 1140 points in 3dmark 2003! I went from version 4.10.

Cats v4.11 drivers got me 172 points higher score at default clocks-(475/450),than the score I got at 520/531 with v4.10 ON 3DMark 2001. I will also note that I have gotten about a 10 mhz increase on both max core and memory frequency. DOOM 3 gets an extra 15 frames per second! I have a X800 Pro vivo @16p using modified ATI X800 Pro vivo 16p bios. If you change drivers I recommend knowing the correct order of uninstallation and re-installation. It says how at the ati website.

wow.. 15fps in doom -> heavy!
very interesting the 10mhz increase too..

i also found results in other forums.. 2000 points in aquamark, faster in CSS and DOOM3, faster in all Futuremark graphic-benchmarks etc.

I also installed the 4.11 yesterday. nfsu2 runs a lot smoother now xD

Forgot to mention I was using the sapphire drivers from the original installation cd. It said 4.10 though.
