I like them, they gave me a nice increase with 3dmark 2001se but more importantly they also increased my fps with ut2003 which was cool. Image quality is the same as 30.82 imo and you get extra performance so no complaints from me.

In general no problems with the new 40.72 drivers,OpenGL image quality seems slightly better to me with these over 30.82 drivers,no problems yet with any of my games,I guess a thumbs up for these.

I don't know why but when I tried to downgrade from 40.72 to 30.82 for test,
I've lost almost 1000(!) points in 3DMark2001 :Q . Went back to 40.72 and
got my points back :)

I didn't gain any 3Dmarks going up to 40.72s (poor me, huh? :p), but I haven't had any problems with them (well, I did, but it was me not reading at the time that rivatuner's patch thingies supported the 40.71s but not 40.72s at the time...that was not fun).

The 40.72 are nice, I haven't seen much of a real world performance increase, but a small increase non the less which is always welcomed. So far they do not seem buggy and I like that they added the refresh rate fix for D3D.
