Default DNA ATi 8.6b drivers anyone??

Noticed that DNA ATi drivers are out here

Anyone using them?
Are they any good?
Are they any better for my HD4850?

Dont bother. I have tried many,many,many modified drivers. They claim better IQ but I noticed no difference at all.

This was a thread asking about modified drivers from DNA... I am using the 8.7b from AMD/ATI but had been wondering about 3rd party drivers... AFAIK, DNA has not yet modified the 8.7 drivers.

I'm not talking about DNA 8.7b, I'm asking for a description or difference between the released (leaked) 8.7b drivers and the DNA 8.6b drivers
