extreme artifacting with sm3 render path

[randomizer]

All I can say is..."Wow, I cant see anything" I am running the latest 7.4 cats and well, just take a look.

First we have the SM3 image:

Nice isnt it :roll:

Now the same pic but with SM2:

It is not isolated to FarCry, the same thing happens with Call of Jaurez. Note my framerate difference too, not sure whether I took the screenies too fast without letting the framerate stabilise or not tho. My guess is its a driver issue, my specs are in my sig. Any ideas?

EDIT: Problem was driver related, and after a reinstall of the 7.4 cats, the problem disappeared. Man HDR in Call of jaurez makes everything so bright, everything is like white almost.

Same thing happened to me in Far Cry. I reinstalled the game, and reinstalled the drivers and it works fine now.

Yea I just edited my post, reinstalled drivers and the issue disappeared, but wow does HDR look bad in Call of Jaurez!
