    Image quality doesnt seem to have increased over the 3.7's nor does speed/performance, if anything it just seems to be a lot of compatibility fixes, addition of new driver control features and an overhaul to the control panel

    I do like how you can save different custom settings, instead of manually changing each time you want to change. The filters are fun to play with, I don't know how practical they are though. Just played a little black and white halo

    Hmmm...funny. Make sure and do this on both the OpenGL Tab and the Direct 3D tab. You should get a lot more...make sure vertical sysnc is disabled.

    I though, 3DMark is Direct 3D only.

    3DMark03 is specifically a DX9 benchmark, not OpenGL.

    After upgrading to the Cat 3.8 from 3.2 drivers...
    I ran 3dMark 03 demo. Amazing concidering it wouldnt start before, sumink was up with it.... but i remember when i last run the demo, there was quite a bit of stuttering, and the quality wasnt good.
    The quality is massivley improved as well as the performance. But remember.... thats from Cat 3.2 to 3.8!
