Strange GPU problem.

I'm having an extremely odd problem with my GPU (I'm guessing) where it shows, I don't know how to explain it, very pixellated dots on certain parts of the screen. It does this in quite a few games such as RIFT, Skyrim, SWTOR, Kingdoms of Amalur, MW3, and quite a few others. (Suprisingly not BF3)

I'm using an AMD HD6950 1GB, screen resolution is 1920 x 1080 and I have no overclocks on it. Also I've tried changing the refresh rate of my monitor, uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers using ccleaner and driver sweeper, turning all settings from as high as they can go to as low and vice versa.

http://youtu.be/krYdEjzPXYE is the link to the video of what is going on, can best see it on 1080p.

If anyone knows what to do I'd be most grateful, this is driving me insane -.-'.

It happened to me after installing the latest beta drivers 12.3 and 12.2 previews... especially on skyrim.
Solution? Uninstall drivers and re-install 12.1 version from catalyst website.

Nah I had tried that also, I did end up fixing it by doing a complete reformat (which it needed doing anyway). Thanks though

That is ****ed up. Lucky you that you needed a reformat !
I solved it by reinstalling older drivers quite easily !

I've found that the easiest way to have problems....is by running driver sweeper.

It looks like something screwed up with the AF settings.

With new drivers it may be, with older drivers it was, sometimes, necessary.
