3.2 vs 3.4 benchmarks = mixed results
I ran some of benchmarks with Cat 3.2's and then with the new 3.4's using a program called Benchmall which automatically runs series of benchmarks via benchmark programs and games. The 3.2's were faster on some and the 3.4's were faster on others like 3d mark 01 and 03 Here are my results:

Ive seen a decent jump with these drivers.
My 3dmark03 scores went up about 400 points. 3Dmark03 wasnt a HUGE increase tho.
THe biggest thing ive found with these, is that the games run a hell of a lot SMOOOOOTHER. FPS have gone up generally, but, the smoothness i found was more noticeable.
I also like the new features and options with the colour tabs and all.

turn on AA when you benchmark you can do this in almost every single app and benchmark (3dmark, etc)

Oh! Duh! Ok!
I was thinking there was some special AA benchmark program that I did not know about.
I will run some benchmarks with AA cranked up, the first set of benchmarks were using default settings with AA set to App Pref.
