graphics bugs with ATI 4800 series (4850/4870/4890)

[TheCapulet]

I seem to have found the issue, at least for me. The HDR flickering only happens when I launch from steam. When I launch from the exe or a mod manager, it works perfectly fine.

that will indicate some problem with STEAM's overlay

please report it to Valve

After I bought OA and run as CO, this issue seems to have returned, despite the fact that I'm now running outside of steam without steam overlays.

The latest ATI drivers worth doing for a 4870 1gb on win xp 32 bit?

Thanks

Same here mate, I find it disturbing that more than two years after launch they still haven't fixed the most basic issues...

Running 11.6 and every time i play "Display Driver stops working" message comes up, to rectify the black screen i have to "shift - flush" most annoying

Wrong thread.

Alright so I got a new CPU, MOBO and 4Gigs of RAM while I kept my 4870HD 512mb.
The problem is that after I installed the new parts, I can no longer select over "Normal" texture quality and DXdiag says that I have 244MBs of RAM.
I also have this problem in Dawn of War 2. So I wonder if anyone else has the same problems with 48xx + 11.8CCC. And I also wonder if anyone has a solution available as my googling skills have failed me.
Currently: Phenom 2 940BE, 8Gigs of DDR2 Corsair Dominator 1066Mhz, MSI MS-7551 and 4870HD. All clocks returned to the default settings.

EDIT: I figured out what IS causing it. 11.8 DRIVERS do not work on 4870HD for me with this setup for some reason, it reports too low amount of V-RAM to DirectX.
Fixed by installing only 10.10 DRIVERS while keeping the 11.8 interface. Even though it reports now that I have 3569MB of V-RAM, I am able to play with higher resolution textures.

Most newer drivers are updating stuff for the newest gpu's.
I have yet to find the "newest" driver which do anything for my 4890.
Do any of you guys know which driver version that is targeted towards 4890?

I have a graphics glitch similar to the one posted early on. I am running an ATI mobility Radeon HD 5850. I have to say it's very difficult to shoot at anything when random bits suddenly jump into your face. So far I can't find any common trigger other than Arma 2. Updated my drivers and have tried everything I can think of beyond that. Any ideas?

This isn't my video but it shows the issue:
