The gunfire artifact goes way back. I was getting the gunfire artifacts on a HD 3850. Before that I was using an x1550, and that was clear of that problem, not half so powerful graphically, but the gunfire artifact didn't show up once. It may well be that on the 3850 I was using a later driver, and earlier 3850 drivers didn't do it, but I don't have any way of knowing about that. All my recent Radeons have been Sapphires, including the x1550, if they don't work with standard Ati drivers, they certainly used to.
