This build seems to be better at playing games than build 7850, however it is still an alpha and much of the code may not be fully optimised.

Here's what I've tryed by now.

Crysis (DX10):

Runs smoothly at maximum quality with no probs and with no performance loss compared to Windows 7.

Crysis 2 (DX9 / DX11*):

Runs smoothly at hardcore quality sttings in 1600 x 1050 resolution in DX9 mode. Still waiting for Crytek DX11 patch.

Lost Planet 2 (DX9 / DX11):

Runs quite smoothly at maximum quality in both DX9 and DX11 modes, but performance isn't as good as in Windows 7. I think it's because of the default WDDM 1.2 driver that says Radeon HD57xx Engineering Sample, but I have a Radeon HD6870.

F1 2010 (DX9 / DX11):

F1 2010 works great in both DX9 and DX11 modes with no performance or graphics bug, though I never ran the game in Windows 7 to compare.

Need for Speed SHIFT 2 Unleashed (DX9):

Runs perfectly at maximum quality with no probs and with no performance loss compared to Windows 7.

FarCry 2 (DX9 / DX10):

Runs perfectly in DX9, but sometimes mouse stops working in DX10 mode, even in Vista compatibility mode.

Need for Speed SHIFT 2 Unleashed

This game is fantastic. I loved the new playability and the way the cars behave on the curves.
