Driverheaven have been in talks today with ATis Terry Makedon (Senior Product Manager) and he wished to make a statement:
In CATALYST 4.7 there is a slight rendering bug found on game test 3 of 3DMark03. This has been documented in an InfoBase article found here. Due to the high standards we place on ourselves in regards to our driver quality we have decided to ask our users not to use CATALYST 4.7 with 3DMark03. In fact we request that Futuremark disqualify this driver set from the official approved driver list. CATALYST 4.8 will have the rendering bug fixed. This rendering bug does not impact 3DMark scores with CATALYST 4.7, but we prefer our users use a driver without the corruption for the best possible RADEON experience.
ATI withdraw Catalyst 4.7 from Futuremark Certification
