Are these just drivers, or bios for the m12-m18?

I got excited for a second because I thought these may have been bios updates.

Just an FYI, I experienced a significant performance drop in World of Warcraft after installing these drivers. I've uninstalled them and reverted back to the previous version to test my findings and verify that it was infact the driver that caused the issue, but I experienced a very significant performance drop immediately after loading these up. I did not test any other games besides WoW.

I have found that the stock Catalyst drivers lag in performance compared to 3rd party drivers. I was disappointed to hear that the trend continues. I guess that the Omega drivers are the way to go.

Reverted back to the previous Dell drivers, performance back to what it was before installing the new drivers. So goes the saying, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
