I tried teh 40.72 beta and it sucked.  3dmark aborted with an error during one test, and some programs would not recognize that a 3D card was even installed.

I haven't tried these release 40.72 drivers yet though.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

I don't trust those benchmarking programs very much... I use the games and high load tests (lots of planes, over big cities, sunrise/sundown,bad weather)..

Overall they appear to be the same in speed. The props in Il2 were screwy though, so I went back to 30.82. They had a few new options, and added anistropic filter to D3D, but I didn't check it out in AH..
