With newer drivers, they improved (though not like the 5xxx) ATI always seems to do that. They release the cards before the drivers are fully optimized, so there are performance boosts for a while after release.

Here's an example. http://www.overclock.net/ati/545098-crysis-catalyst-9-6-vs-9-a.html It was just small boosts like that with every release. Same is happening for the new cards. EDIT: another example with more benches. Farcry 2 gets a massive boost here. http://www.overclock.net/ati/558868-catalyst-9-6-vs-9-8-a.html
