Leaked ATI 8.7 beta drivers boost performance in 4800 series...

I installed the leaked Catalyst 8.7 beta for my HD4870 found here:

http://downloads.guru3d.com/ATI-Catalyst-8.7-Beta-...

...and my 3DMark Vantage GPU score went from 7500 to 8700 (performance mode). As well, my Crysis GPU bench enjoyed about a 2 fps increase (from 26.13 to 28.87 fps avg on Very High @ 1680*1050).
