My Radeon 5850 is not overclocked and only gets to max temp of around 60C. These dots have been coming up when I play games and stay on the desktop once I exit out. They are usually red or blue. They are about the size of a BB.
I'm using CCC 10.10 I can't use the newest one because I get the bsod reboot when my monitor goes to sleep. I downloaded unigine heaven 2.0 lsat night and ran it twice in dx11 and had no problems. Once with no AA and once with 4x AA. Then I ran it in dx 10 and got some artifacts. Ran it in dx 11 again and got some too. It seems that dx 10 is what is causing it to me. I think SCII and Crysis are both dx 10 titles and that's what I've noticed the biggest problem with. LOTRO doesn't cause it and I think its dx11. I've seen it happen in Dirt 2 dx11 but that was only after I had quit out of SCII and was testing other games. TF2 also does not cause this problem either.
I've downloaded ATI tool this morning and it has been running the artifact test for 30 minutes with no errors. GPU Temp is 68 degrees at 47% fan speed.
I'm really thinking it is dx10 related but I dont know if that would be a driver issue or a hardware issue. I'm kinda new to this sort of thing. I've always been a console gamer up until this past year.
