    Seem to be getting lots of white dots/squares when playing skyrim on ultra.Does not occur on low but occurs on high.

    There doesn't seem to be a problem with frame rates though.How can I fix this?

    Are you running the newest drivers? Do you still get this issue when you're running with just a single card, rather than Crossfire? It sounds like it's either a driver incompatibility with the game, or a crossfire issue.

    Using the 12.2 drivers.Problem occurs even with crossfire disabled.
    Noticed another problem playing mass effect 3. After playing for about 20ish minutes the game gets stuck and so does the computer.There can be nothing done except forcefully rebooting it.When i actually reboot it then it turns off again on reaching the windows logo screen.It works the second time.
    The CPU and GPU temperatures are always between 60-70 C with mass effect 3 running.
    I have also tried clean installing as mentioned in the 6990m crossfire thread.Didn't change a thing.

    Been only 7-8 hours since I got the laptop and all these problems already (;

    Try installing the 12.3 RC drivers. Also install the latest CAP from AMD's website.
    You can get the 12.3 RC drivers from Guru3d forums. I had a similar graphical issue with the 12.2 preview drivers.

    I had this same problem in Skyrim using 12.2 WQHL's. No Crossfire setup but I solved it by disabling AA (FXAA setting still seems to work without issues). Kind of annoying but seems to be something that AMD needs to correct.
