Shortest answer: Nope!
Medium answer: Changes between driver versions mostly go undocumented, but it's assumed there's typically minor bug fixes or tweaks of some kind, as well as the addition or removal of audio devices (i.e., motherboard support), rather than anything affecting "performance."
Longer answer: While it's probably very difficult to measure any possible improvement in noticeable performance, game or otherwise, you never know since every system out there is different. So there just may be a slight chance of something being improved on the driver level that could affect performance for the better (e.g., reducing internal driver latency, eliminating "crackling" on systems where it was a problem, etc.).
