If you haven't already, take a look at the Omega Drivers at Omega Corner. The catalyst 3.0 drivers do have a lot of problems, particularly with OpenGL, so the Omega drivers incorporate the 2.5 catalyst OpenGL support with the 3.0 catalyst drivers, along with some of his tweaks.
My 9700 Pro is brand new, so I haven't tried to many games yet, but it's been pretty apparant that ATI is not good with drivers. I'd agree that Nvidia has been much better with handling drivers (and will probably be the reason I'll switch to the GeForceFX when it comes out if it truly outperforms the ATI card, and ATI hasn't gotten their act together by then with the drivers).
