ATI 10.8 driver is no good for my 4830.

Just a heads up, after about a week of use, I just noticed my display was corrupting (fuzzy pixels like an old tv on an unused channel, lines, stuttering with opening windows, etc). I was able to get into control panel and roll back to 10.3 and it went right away. To me that shows this driver release is messed up as I was getting artifacts on idle desktop. I checked my temps and they all were around 32-35C.

Edit: FTR, this is the first driver issue i've had since my 8800GTS would refuse to work in XP64.

worked fine for my 4850, they pretty much same card as yours.

I know they are very similar, but it was certainly the driver if a driver rollback immediately fixed the issue. I'll be waiting until the next driver release to see if it has been fixed.

I have seen overclocks even on just CPU effect stability between different drivers,try everything at default and see if that improves the situation,its also possible your card is faulty,I had a Nvidia card one time that was only stable with no artifacts etc.... if I underclocked it slightly from its factory default setting with some drivers,in that case it was a faulty Nvidia card.

Btw no issues for me with 10.8s and my 4870 card.
