Did you cleaned up the driver well before you install a new one.
You tried with a single card or with your CrossFire?

I wanna how much it has improved with HD4890. But it's ok.

3dmark was fine with Crossfire on(running at 4870 speed) when I used the beta 9.4 that is bundled with Asus EAH4890 card. The graphic corruption occurs after installing Catalyst 9.4 and restart. It's gone after I restart my computer again. Here are the result with no overclock (2.66ghz processor) at all.

Default performance setting at 1280x1024 with no crossfire (4890 speed) is P10116 and crossfire (4870 speed) is P12693. I got P9211 on my 4870.

from the release notes, ati states that it has a better auto oc mechanism. normally we don't trust the auto oc, as it will give higher clock speed which are not stable. with this so called new overdrive, they claim it's better than the older one in terms of finding the right maximum oc

since the Catalyst 9.4 already out... it is advisable use the Cat 9.4 instead of the bundled CD driver...

Great. I am now in the ATi bandwagon.

I am using Catalyst 9.3, but there seems to be tearing across my screen. Especially when the action is moving very fast. Anyone of you guys experiencing this?

Thanks for the heads up bro.

Anyway, my rocketdock is also kinda laggy when using this 4670.

Previously, with me 8600GT, no prob at all.

Other that than, I LOVE my 4670.
