Does improve framerates but doesnt seem a massive amount. If I were nvidia I wouldnt be 2 worried at this stage..(which is still early days).

it is not that big of a deal because in fact it is nothing more that a tech demo

Wow with so little time with the new driver I think the results are very good.
Can not wait to test R9 290 Crossfire.
