A few issues i've encountered.

Aero is enabled, it's alot worst when disabled.

Ati 7970 (stock), clean installation of windows, 12.9 drivers (tried 12.8 too), no overclocking. Resolution 2560 x 1440 (also tried 1080p to no avail), 60hz. Issues show regardless of cable used, dvi-d/hdmi.

Tearing whilst in windows, most evidential whilst logging in, video of horizontal artifacts - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3abrB0aFuA

Motion blurring/ghosting, a trail is left behing when moving the mouse, windows around the screen etc - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiFuT...ature=youtu.be and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl9-qf-q4iI
