How's the performance?
I have found the 4496 and 5328 drivers lowered my performance.
5328 is supposed to be faster mip-mapping and faster when running with
vertical blank sync, but I didn't see it myself. It also caused quite a
few sound artifacts from my Live! sound card.
Anyone done a driver-by-driver benchmark?
I got tired of it, but here's the performance order on my system from
fastest to slowest:
4620
3xxx (last stable 3xxx driver)
4496
5328
Mostly what I look for are not benchmark numbers, but notable hesitation
in programs and interactive response, and side effects like bad sound
artifacts.
