I've installed just fglrx 8.620 on 8.10 and no difference.
So I upgraded my Ubuntu Studio into 9.10 (of course it got frozen 3 times in 1 hour after installation - typical) - poor performance, then I installed  fglrx 8.620 on it.
After restart - horror, poor performance, highest refresh rate was 60Hz (My monitor supports up to 85Hz), there was nothing higher in the catalyst to select.
I have turned on standard proprietary drivers from Ubuntu. Performance is poor, even moving windows is choppy, but at least I can get up to 75Hz refresh rate.

4 Ubuntus ago I managed to get up to 85Hz (select my monitor correctly)
using Screens & Resolution applet but then it was removed from the
repositories - too bad :(

One more thing: Moving my windows on the desktop was and is choppy (also
uses up to 100% of CPU), unless I turn on Compiz. Then moving windows is
smooth and takes only up to 10% maximum of CPU load. Unfortunately I
can't use Blender when Compiz is turned on.


PS. For few months I do not observe these issues with processor running up to 50% maximum - maybe some of the PulseAudio updates corrected it.
