Drivers, drivers, drivers.

Switching from a nVidia card to an ATi isn't just plugging out and plugging in.

You have to remove EVERYTHING that has to do with nVidia.
Use Driversweeper in save mode for example, make sure EVERYTHING has been removed, after that, install 8.12.

how about your PSU? and what kind of multiplayer games are you playing?

im telling you, you'll be blown away as soon as you figure out how to make that 4870 work.

and if its possible, you can also try to do a fresh OS install.
