Help! My graphics are messed up!

Hello. So when I started my computer up this morning I got a prompt to update my graphics card so I did. Then I tried to get on Skyrim but the graphics were all weird. It usually only happens when I'm looking at light (a fire, window, sky, etc.) I went on a few other games to see if I had the same problem but they worked fine, it seems to only mess up on Skyrim. I never adjusted any of my graphics card settings from the default and it worked fine before I updated. Here is my specs
Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core E5300 @ 2.60GHz
RAM: 4.00GB
Windows 7 64-bit OP
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6670 PCI Express 2.1 BUS 1GB DDR
[1] Here are screen shots of the problem it gets all pixelated
and I went on the website to look for driver updates but it said I already have the latest updates but it was working before the updates so IDK what to do.
 
Maybe you selected a beta driver when updating, or maybe a driver for a 32 bit system. Could have also been a bad driver install. I suggest going to AMD's website and getting the latest stable driver they have for your card.
 
It's the driver update. Rollback to the previous driver. It's only been reported for the 6800 series but I guess it affects the 6700 series as well.

So I was correct in thinking it was a driver malfunction. This seems to happen with a lot of companies, I remember when the beta for BF3 came out and EVGA released a beta driver that made it possible to play the beta, but also screwed with a lot of my other games.

How do i rollback to the previous driver? and will i ever be able to update again?

Their website should have a list of drivers, find out the version of your driver, and then choose the driver that was released before that driver. They should have dates on when a driver was released.

Alright cool, if they update their driver again, then give it another shot. Or it could be a problem with Skyrim, and Bethesda might update it at a later date.

Hey any idea how to uninstall my driver that i have right now so i can try and install the previous one?
 
Hey, Im in the same situation, need to go back to version 12.2 of the catalyst software, Electrics45, could you help me out? How did you roll back to the older version?
