For those of you who did not know, ATI released the Catalyst 3.2 drivers today.

Did anyone have see a difference after un-installing and re-installing, in terms of benchmark scores? I am a technician at a small computer store, and they have a 2.4 Ghz machine w/ a Radeon 9500 pro as a demo machine. I noticed that after un-installing Catalyst 3.1 and re-installing Catalyst 3.2, the 3DMark 2003 score did not change at all! Did anyone tried the drivers, and can anyone tell me is there any major difference at all?

Check out this comparison:

They have a good set of results between the Cat 3.1 and 3.2. And again remember, 3dmark is fine and all, but its a synthetic benchmark. Nothing you play will reflect the speed increase in it. Check out the [H]ardOCP Unreal benchmark (like Madshrimps did) for a good reflection of what has improved.
