For manufacturers of graphics cards, it's not only important to have a highly complex chip, their actual drivers need to be optimized to the last bit. Therefore it's a small wonder that GPU manufacturers release lots of driver updates during the year, making sure, there are no compatbility issues as well as increasing performance. In theses charts we tested 17 different drivers, and we will keep adding newer versions in future.
