    As usual, TweakTown published their ATI Catalyst 6.4 Performance Analysis: "If you're having trouble with your current set of drivers, it's worth the upgrade but if you're not having any troubles and you still find yourself playing OpenGL games you are better off sticking with your current Catalyst 6.3 drivers."
