First, the goods:




Artifacts helpfully circled using MSPaint.

These are some very odd artifacts. I never see them unless I am in certain buildings or looking at certain surfaces. And before you get all uppity and say "You need to RMA the card, n00bcakes!" I'll have you know that this issue appears with one 4850, the other 4850, or both 4850s in CF. I also set my CPU back to stock to see if that would help, no dice. And it's not heat either, as I see these lines flickering across my screen if I start the game right after a cold boot. And it's not my PSU, I ran Crysis and Prime95 (four cores!) overnight for eight hours with no problems.

Ideas? I'm thinking odd driver bug.
 
I've seen a bunch of other people with that problem, so it's not isolated. You should try updating to the 8.7 drivers, and if you're already using them, just wait for the next version and try to ignore the dots. There's nothing wrong with the cards in any case.
 
Good, glad to know I'm not alone - is this just an ATi problem, or are people on the green side experiencing this too?
 
You call those artifacts? That ain't nothin':

Totally unrelated Nvidia driver issue (which I've fixed), but its on topic.

got the same thing on my old 8800 and today with my 4870 crossfire setup, seems to be certain models or certain shadows on certain models cause it, not sure why.

Putting the video card clocks down a bit helped.

Is this Crysis 3D? Just need a pair of those paper red and blue glasses (and perhaps a few pharmaceuticals ) and you might have something!:p
