Yeah, OK, I checked some driver comparison tests and I take it back. I said I wasn't sure anyway. Seems to be within 5% in most cases, rarely up to 10.
You have to look at the results differently those, AT use playback action rather than small ranch which was used in the leak results.

Additionally Nvidia really wasn't that bad in any of its marketing results. All the graphed results used a baseline of 0. When the last time you see AMD do that?

I don't AMD really improved that much from driver releases because the 5xxx architecture is so similar to the 4xxx architecture that the driver improvements are already there. The only exception is the 5970 which can improved more because of its reliance of crossfire.
