When will Catalyst 3.3 be out?

[dguy6789]

Does anyone know a realistic time that catalyst 3.3 will be out? and one more thing, it is supposed to give the 9700 pro much more performance, can i expect more performcance on my 8500 and 9000 pro cards?

Following the recent driver release trends I'd guess around 4 weeks.

can i expect more performcance on my 8500 and 9000 pro cards?

The release is primarily for R300 chipsets though R200/250 cards will probably get some gains too.

I guess is that it will come out one week or so before the release of the 9800 Pro to give it maximum support. It is believe to provide much performance gain to the 9500/9700 pro/non pro series but the 9000/8500 series was promised to gain performance increase from the 3.2 driver and I believe ATI did what they promised. An amazing 15-20% increase in performance yet little or no difference for 9500/9700 until the 3.3 comes out.

4 weeks or so is my guess as well.
