Can confirm that Assetto Corsa performance has shot up. Just did a quick test on old and new drivers in the M3 GT2 at Imola.

Code:
331.93
Frames	 Time (ms)	 Min	 Max	 Avg
 23685	    250710	  80	 108	 94.472

332.21
Frames	 Time (ms)	 Min	 Max	 Avg
 35523	    247994	 113	 164	 143.241

GPU's (780 SLI) usage shown as maxed out under both drivers in Precision X. Looks like I'll be turning AF back up to x16 :D

AC Settings | Res: 5760*1080 | Rend Mode: Triple Screen (50deg side monitor angle, effective 150deg FoV) | Full Screen on | Vsync on | HDR on | AFx8 | AAx4 | Shadow Res: High | Lock onboard cam on | Hide driver arms on | Lock virtual wheel on | World Detail: High | Cube Map: Medium | FPF: 6 | MIP_LOD_BIAS=0
 
What was it like on the previous drivers?
Around 10 fps less and my second 780 would only hit 50% load and now it hits 97%.

Also I used to get the game would just freeze for a fraction of a second sometimes and if I was at a braking point it could make me crash as it froze then played again which it doesn't do with these new drivers so far.
