Is it worth updating Catalyst from 11.5 to 11.8?

Is it worth updating Catalyst from v.11.5 to v.11.8 and to the latest SDK also?

Will it give any increase in performance?

Current speed in v11.5 is 7300M with 2*5990.

on windows, speed does not change. you can upgrade but dont expect any change.
on linux, 11.8 creates 100% CPU load per GPU per core and this reduces performance a lot.
