Tried it (methodically) a thousand times before, which a plethora of drivers, but makes no difference at all on my system.
Still convinced that it is an A3-specific driver issue...

Zombie, please read the second post above yours... :')

For those having this issue in combination with an Intel GPU: please try reverting to driver version 9.17.10.2932 (152812 | 12 December 2012).
