I don't think its a driver issue. I never update my driver unless I install a game that needs an updated version. I use the "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it" approach when it comes to drivers as new versions usually come with bugs that do need fixed.
So with that said, it wasn't until a certain game patch that the issue started for most of us, if not all of us. The frames per second are slowing down dramatically because something with the graphics gets corrupt. As another posted said "washed out". Items go really bright and bleached-like.
This really makes you think about switching to desktop mid round, but in designer, save and exit is your best option if you want to go to desktop.
