    May or may not be the graphics drivers themselves, it may be the Mac client. Other than updating whatever drivers you have (if possible), or maybe seeing if another piece of software is causing a conflict, I can't really help too much, as the last Apple POS I used was an Apple IIe. (Only way I'd use a Mac is if it was given to me, and even then, I'd probably just give it away to someone else that really wanted it.) (And yes, I come from the old "Commodore vs Apple crowd, lol)

    That's like the unholy combination of problems when it comes to troubleshooting most games. Mobile chipset (which by and large are "unsupported" in most games), AMD (which has a history of driver problems going back to way before the 3d accelerator era), and Mac (which is pretty much self-explanatory).

    If it worked fine until a few weeks ago, I'd focus on finding whatever it was you changed a few weeks ago and revert said change.

    *points to "win7" in OP*

    I'm having a similar issue, occasionally I'll get horrendous lag, the screen starts doing extremely strange things, and then I get this error message: http://www.flickr.com/photos/39954832@N08/12532645695/

    The screen artifacts are also there after the game crashes, until I reboot the PC. It's possible it's a power supply issue, but this never happened under win7.

    Specs: Radeon HD6670 desktop card, 4gb RAM, win8.1 64bit. Radeon driver 13.2 (which is the same as I had on 7, with no similar issues)

    Looks to me like your card is dying.
