    For 10.4 I totally uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled CCC with the 10.4 update. I assume it's something to do with the 3D res because there was serious artifacting on 200% 3D res yet it was fine at 100%. Perhaps mods are affecting it too since I didn't see a single artifact running Arma 2 on winxp mode no mods all settings highest (10k VD, max AA, max AF, Very High all settings). However I haven't tried -winxp with mods so I'll have a look at that.

    I did send ATI Radeon a support request containing artifact pictures and a small description and they gave me a reply telling me they are having a look at it.

    I do have the latest crossfire profiles, catalyst AI is also enabled ( I checked).

    Perhaps this could be a result of the latest ATI fix which made the 2nd GPU switch off when it's not being stressed, at points in the game the GPU usage drops to 0%, perhaps the graphics cards are downclocking to their 137mhz Idle mode and it's causing problems.

    Here is an example ARMA 2 barely uses 1/4 of the GPU in game, this was on quite a stressful play as well (flying very low over chernorus)

    Well, set it on -winxp and turned graphics up to full with no mods and span around with 4x time speed on cherno in the middle of the forest and the FPS didn't drop one bit. No artifacts at all.

    Then I set the 3d resolution to 200% and instantly got artifacts.

    I seriously doubt that it is a VRAM hardware error as I would expect it to artifact in all games, especially so in games that stress the GPU even more yet I only see the artifacts in Arma 2. The game barely puts the GPU above 30% load. Also the hotfix is only for 4xxx, 3xxx or 2xxx cards.

    I have the latest drivers installed, I actually didn't have this problem in December 09/January 10 when I was on beta drivers.

    I have the latest drivers on my 5970 and I get 5x5 blocks of rectangles on different surfaces. Sometimes they are on the sky sometimes on the ground, they tend to be flickering and green/red in colour. I checked the temps and they are perfectly fine (maxed at 70 celcius) and the GPU load never went about 50% on either GPU.

    BF BC 2 never gets artifacts like these, nor does any game I own. BF BC2 gets the GPU load to 100% and the temps up to 80-83 celcius and I still don't see any artifacts. This is a weird issue.
