eNew features include:
Geometry Instancing
VPU Recover Enhancement
EIA 861B Timing Specification
Performance Improvements:
Direct3D driver efficiency has improved considerably. Significant performance gains are noted in multiple "CPU-bound" cases, including 3DMark2001, Aquamark 3, Comanche4, Dungeon Siege, and Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004. Typical improvements are in the 1-5% range.
OpenGL driver efficiency is also improved. Older OpenGL games such as Quake III Arena and Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory show small improvement (1-2%) at low resolutions. Call of Duty framerates are up approximately 4%. Doom3 improves considerably more (as much as 12% on some product configurations) as a result of the same software efficiency improvements.

Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow:Display corruption is no longer noticed when launching a multiplayer game under Windows XP with an ATI RADEON 9200 installed
Thief 3:Inconsistent lighting and shadow flicker is no longer noticed when playing the game under Windows XP
Unreal Tournament 2004: Playing the game under Windows XP with an ATI RADEON X600 series installed no longer results in game corruption being displayed when setting Anti-Aliasing to 4x and having the display properties set to 1600x1200 32bpp

Takaa Geometry Instancing
kak SM3 ....Another major feature of SM3 is geometry instancing. It appears that this feature is built-in to the X800, but is not exposed by the driver currently (coming soon).Seem to suggest that when GI is turned on in the X800 it will work quite nicely. Unlike in the 6800.
