I haven't noticed any performance issues with the new drivers yet.

I have an AMD Phenom 9950 Quad-Core Processor 2.60 Ghz.
I have 4 GB of Installed RAM
I'm using Window's 7 64-Bit OS
And I have a 7.1 on my WEI.

That's why I wait until Microsoft signs off on any of my drivers before I install them. Unless I absolutely have to.
Nothing to see here....move along...

The drivers are WHQL certified.

Well that is what WHQL means - it's a signed-of driver from Microsoft.
However Microsoft simply sign-off to say the driver acts as it should do, that it doesn't do anything silly like attempting to bypass the HAL or make illegal calls etc.

How well it will work with games is not icrosoft's doing and that will be down to those willing to download and test them.

lol, why would a graphics card company put anything bad in? They release new cards every year they want you to buy/upgrade too, they are a complete repeat business, they would never risk customers for intimidate gain when the company is based on future profits.

And Microsoft have no idea what a driver will do to your specific system, they just check it does do anything illegal or virus like or screw with Windows. Microsoft singed Driver can still very much break your system if you get conflict.
