My ATI 9500 now reads as an nVidia 5200 card, but the performance is amazing. Is this normal?

Test System:
AMD Athlon 2100+ @ 12x200MHz (2.4GHz)
2x512MB Corsair XMS PC3200 CAS 2-3-3-6
ATi Radeon 9700 Pro
EPoX 8RDA3+
80GB WD


FPS Tests:
UT2K3 v2225 @ High Quality 1600x1200
3DMark 2003 @ High Quality 1024x768


With Catalyst v3.8:
UT2K3 v2225: 124.366479 (Average of Average FPS on 7 Maps)
3DMark 2003: 6545

With Catalyst v3.9:
UT2K3 v2225: 124.523275 (Average of Average FPS on 7 Maps)
3DMark 2003: 6554


Yes I know, I used the horrible 3DMark03, it was for comparison purposes only and is now uninstalled from my system.
Personally, I can't tell any performance increase with these new drivers but its good to know ATi is always working on their driver set.

I knew about them firsthand from the ATi Mailer, but I thought I'd let them circulate for
24 hours before I go off giving download links to something possibly as bad as the recent
nVidia nForce Driver release.
