AMD has just released the 10.10c hotfix to their drivers! Normally AMD releases these hot fixes due to missing something in the main drivers. But it would seem that AMD has released this hotfix with the new Open GL 4.1 beta as well..........Hmm, post in the forums if you give this a try, and let everyone know if you get performance boosts or not.
Jump on over to the official Catalyst 10.10c hotfix page to read more and download the new drivers.

SGI is suing ATI for patent infringement. More icing on the cake for this patent BS. Our patent system and copyright system are messed up. Time for a change.

A day after it returned to NASDAQ (under a new stock ticker) SGI has filed suit against ATI claiming patent infringement. SGI claims ATI violated patent number 6,650,327, "Display system having floating point rasterization and floating point framebuffering", which was filed in 1998 and granted in 2003, in its Radeon graphics cards. The patent allows software to operate directly on data in a frame buffer and, in a statement, McKenna described it as "an important resource in achieving enhanced graphics processing demanded by today's computer systems".

AMD to Buy ATI

It is official. AMD will buy ATI if the sale is authorized. This is a HUGE thing. AMD wants to compete with Intel on the platform front. Remember Centrino? Remember what platform AMD has? Looks for motherboards and other good stuff from AMD soon.
Quote
Under the terms of the transaction, AMD will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of ATI for a combination of $4.2 billion in cash and 57 million shares of AMD common stock, based on the number of shares of ATI common stock outstanding on July 21, 2006. All outstanding options and RSUs of ATI will be assumed. Based upon the closing price of AMD common stock on July 21, 2006 of $18.26 a share, the consideration for each outstanding share of ATI common stock would be $20.47, comprised of $16.40 of cash and 0.2229 shares of AMD common stock.
