I'm using 3dsmax version 6

I'm not expecting a mere driver to do a LITERAL 100 mhz boost. That 100 mhz was just an analogy. If I planned on overclocking my card I would do it the proper way (actually adjusting the core and memory clocks) but as it is I really don't wanna risk introducing additional instability and the card runs really really hot as it is (heatsink fan is almost too hot to touch)

The 100 mhz thing was just an analogy and nothing more. What I meant to say was kind of like:
Going into BIOS and tweaking the FSB and multiplier (if it's unlocked) settings yada yada only yields minor PERCEPTIBLE performance gains, and it really can't fix any software problems. Whereas sometimes a driver update can make what was "broken" software wise "fixed" again and result in a noticeably better and perceptible gain. I'm just asking if this was the case for you and the DNA drivers.
I'm kinda wary of relying on unofficial third party type drivers if they only result in minor potential speed gains over the up to date catalyst drivers. But for example if they could speed up edged faces and wireframes then I am willing to try.
