I was reluctant to try  catalyst. Last week catalyst was put into work and got a phenomenal raise in the glxgears rate from 115 to 1175 FPS ( glxgears alone is not a performance factor tho') . Google earth works very nice with atmosphere option enabled. If any one wants to try catalyst, try it in the first phase before start building your system.
