I saw an early review of these drivers, supposed to increase performance by ~100% more or less on some cards.

Check this review out-

Unfortunately this is only "recommended" for the HD 2000 series... us "legacy" folk will have to wait for the October driver. Bright sides is October driver with finally support AIGLX for compositing. (i.e. Compiz-Fusion)
