Ok I just tested these drivers on my x800 VIVO@xt-pe:

Game Config
Ultra High Quality
Vsync Off
1280x1024 resolution
TIMEDEMO 1

Catalyst 4.8b Results
FPS: 60.2

Catalysts 4.9b Results
FPS 66.3

looks like they do increase the speed quite a bit but they are only for the x800 series of cards.

people with 9800's and below get worse performance

well i was just reading up on it some more- the increase is primarily for x800 owners, though some people with 9800's get benefits as well. but others that don't have a lot of memory and have a slower processor actually get worse performance when they install the 4.9 betas. so i guess you could try it and see what it does for you

works well on my 9800 PRO
