ATI 4670 artifacting problem

[Knight_Ops]

I have an ATI SAPPHIRE 100255HDMI Radeon HD 4670 and am having major artifacting/Tearing issues. Currently Crysis/Crysis Warhead are unplayable, I can look at the ground and sky and the textures look fine however when I try to play the textures seem to not load. Two worlds exhibits the same issue as well as The Witcher and Mirrors Edge (see attached link)

I have no problems with Fallout 3, Quake Wars, UT3, Bioshock, Batman Arkham, or any of my kids Lego games so I don't think the card has crapped out on me. I have toyed with v-sync and triple buffering, my monitor is an Acer 22" LCD


Any ideas what is causing this? I have th latest ATI cat driver installed (9.9) running on a custom built Pent. Core 2 Duo 1.86 GHZ, 4 MB RAM.

Thanks

Here's more detail from dxdiag.

uninstall 9.9 and try using older driver. but don't forget to use driver sweeper to clean any left over

 

[Knight_Ops]

It does it under 9.8 but I haven't tried any of the older 8.xx drivers yet. Will try tonight when I get outta work.

 

[Knight_Ops]

Well, no luck with the older driver swap out. Tried cat 8.11, 9.5, 9.7 and still have the same issue. Increased the fan speed downclocked the core speed of the GPU and still having the same issue.

Any ideas??

i can only think that that your card might be damaged. can you try your card on another pc to play the games you're having trouble with? see if similar problem happens
