Here you go. No 'official' release till Monday though I'm afraid. It is also sans release notes. They are WHQL certified.

These driver are pretty awsome, The performance difference in folding and some gaming is clearly visible when using bench software. I hope ATI tell us waht are the difference between 9.4 and 9.5 because I like it :) Hate to test more to confirm if the driver made the difference or it`s the down grade to kingston KVR 800 4GB XD ( my mushkin just die :( )

I Tweeted my impressions over the weekend. Basically:

zero performance gains outside of ~5% in Far Cry 2.

IQ is no different between Nvidia and ATI unless you are using a custom AA mode or Nvidia's new Ambient Occlusion.

As for 100 points higher, that doesn't mean anything unfortunately. The scores from one run to the next are hardly ever the same.

I've only tested these with NFS Pro Street thus far. No problems to report. However, they lied about stream encoding. It's not even an option in CCC.
