Hi all- I am getting a problem with my display becoming 'grainy' when I install certain drivers - AMD in both cases with my On-board and my 280X card. The current live drivers work fine for my 280x and give a nice clear image but when installing the latest beta driver or using my on-board graphics I get a very grainy image (almost like a 30hz interlaced output looks) - I have run a full clean of my drivers and it is only happening with the 'beta' driver and my on-board graphics.
Does anyone know of a reason this would happen- images below to show the difference:
On a more worrying note the images now appear to look the same(with the good driver installed) which would indicate that the image is in fact fine but my monitor is not displaying it properly I guess- I'm using a DVI-HDMI cable and it isn't the best monitor in the world but still can't figure out why the driver change would cause the monitor to show a grainy picture as it works perfectly fine on the current driver. I have also included pictures taken to show what I actually see - note the text is very grainy last pic as opposed to being smooth as it should be.
