I have tried uninstalling the old drivers with AMDs Un-install Utility prior to installing the new 13.2 beta7 ones. I still see a lot of artefacts and flickering in games, such as Aion or Firefall.

The uninstaller doesnt get everything. Then install new driver. Try this and see if it helps. ------------------------- MSI 970A-G46/Athlon 260@3.5ghz/2x4870/TX750M/4gigDDR3

OK, I ran the free version of Driver Fusion (which apparently is the new name of Driver Sweeper) in safe mode and it did remove SOME drivers, but it also gave me a message that I must use the premium version in order to remove all AMD drivers. I still see artefacts and flickering in games, but thanks for the suggestion anyway. I guess I'll just have to format my HDD and re-istall the OS. And if that doesn't help, RMA. ------------------------- PSU: CORSAIR TX750 V2 / MB: ASUS M4A87TD / CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE 3.4 GHz / GPU: GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB / RAM: 2x4GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz / CASE: CM Storm Enforcer / OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
