if you ask me, this is atis fermi welcome party hehe
im sure they had those tweaks before, but didnt integrate them into the past few driver releases to have something for the fermi launch...

and the timing is perfect, they released them just in time for fermi reviews...
Yep 10.3 look specially made to combo up with 5870 2GB and give a sort of a painful box to the Nvidia's part. If 10.3 is official by the time fermi gets out and reviewers use that as reference 5870 driver, GTX 4x0 will not seem that sweet.

In anycase when ATi gets the new 5870 2GB's out reviews are bound to use 10.3 "If final" and also GTX 4x0

The fact that abu dhabi is interested in AMD and in a situation where AMD fails he will either buy majority "May not be allowed by Gov." or alternatively he will enter a some ratio ownership.

EDIT: BTW this is someone who bailed out Dhubai for $10bn
