I believe you will have to upgrade to a 5000 series card to see the
benefits. Tempting no?

All this is great. But I have a 4890 and what is the perf gain on
that card?

10.2 is supposed to be out but when I checked it still showed 10.1.
Maybe later on today it will show up. Legit Reviews touts it as a
"major" update.
"By far the Application Profiles feature is the coolest feature in
Catalyst 10.2. I think it will revolutionize the way drivers will be
updated. If it works as well as it looks like it will, we will see
performance gains much sooner for newly released game titles. Despite
not having as much of a cool factor as the application profiles does,
let's not forget about the ATI PowerPlay. By downloading and updating
to CATALYST 10.2 video card drivers, it means that consumers can save
money on your electric bill, which is fantastic. Reducing your
systems power draw by 7-12 Watts may not seem like a whole lot, but
over time it does add up. If you are like me and leave your computer
on pretty much 24/7 it will save you money in the long run. It's not
every day that you get new features, improved performance and a
reduction in power. This is by far one of the greatest updates in
CATALYST history!
As for the Catalyst 10.3 drivers, I have to say that I am looking
forward to the 3D capabilities of it. I personally think that a nice
3-monitor Eyefinity configuration running in 3D will completely
change the face of gaming! I may have to start saving my pennies for
that.
/*Legit Bottom Line:* With as much as a 22% performance gain as seen
in Colin McRae: DiRT 2. Plus all the new features that make the
Catalyst Suite 10.2/10.3 what it is, this Suite is a must have
especially considering the cost of FREE!"/
