According to the release notes, 4.3 is supposed to make dx 9.0 games faster.
Quoted from release notes:
The Pixel Shader performance of our DX9-class products has improved considerably with Catalyst 4.3.
Halo and Tomb Raider framerates are up 3-7%.
Shader-specific technology tests such as ShaderMark show gains in the region of 10-20% or more.
3DMark03's Mother Nature scene runs 2-5% faster across the entire DX9 product line. Our 3DMark03 Pixel Shader 2.0 framerate improves 7-15%.
Aquamark 3 performance has also improved slightly, at higher resolutions.
