Q: OSX Lion, Graphic Artifacts

I would like to know if users which bought new iMac, Macbook etc.. now, with preinstaled Lion have this problems.. Maybe is problem, that we dont install Lion from pure disk, but it was installed from Snow Leopard and it causes this problems..

Why here on apple support forum we dont get answer from someone competent???????????????????

I got my iMac with Lion a few days ago and I also have this problem

This is for us good news, becouse it means that purely new iMac with Lion is the same hardware as my new iMac with Snow Leopard, and problem is really only with software, so with next update hopely Apple fix it...

@milan.domeny I got my iMac without Lion a month ago.. and got Lion for free because of the "apple program" or something .. ever since the installation of Lion I got these weird graphic issues

Got my iMAC two weeks ago shipped with lion, same problem, mostly in finder.

Can anyone tell me if there is any issue with a performance (of course I have a graphic artifacts too), b/c my iMac very slow after installing Lion (Clean install) .. always take long time to loading when open apps or open files even when I want to open folders; and also it crashes a lots

Lion OS X is a new platform, so I would suggest you to use Snow Leopard until Apple company fixes all the bugs. But if you can't install Leopard, then I would suggest you to keep your Lion up to date, I mean update all the applications/drivers atleast once a week.

Yes, I have also some issues with performance. My iMac is now with Lion little slower and sometimes occurs crassing apps no only from third part, but also iTunes crashed few times, some apps sometimes freezes.. so I am very disappointed with Lion..

I'm getting them on my 6970M 2GB when playing HD video. I updated to the latest 10.7.2 developer and I still get the issue.

Still no Systemupdate by Apple,

is apple aware, that there's a huge problem with graphic artefacts?

now i cant' read the menubar, widgets are distorted and those wiered graphic artefacts are all over the place.

i got a new 27" imac with a 2gb graphicscard 2 weeks ago and istalled lion right away.

it's crazy, that even the newly sold machines have graphicsproblems and apple is not giving any solution...

cheers

I'm sure apple is aware.. I mean.. they need to know how the public is reacting to LION right?

haha that would be most logical I guess.

I do hope apple comes with a solution/update soon because this is quite annoying at times and it shouldn't be there.

Ok, seems like I found what is causing those artifacts to appear (at least on my machine). Switching fullscreen on and off for HTML5 videos -- particulary YouTube ones -- several times.

Having the same problem as others, brand new 27" iMac 3.4 Ghz i7 with Radeon 6970 2GB.

Always happening in finder windows, and also seeing it in Final Cut Pro 7

I'm pretty convinced it's Lion myself. I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 13" with the NVIDIA card, and I get the same artifacts. I never had these artifacts before upgrading to Lion, and when I'm in my XP partition, these glitches don't appear. If it were a hardware problem, the glitches wouldn't appear in screenshots, nor would they be limited to a single operating system. I hope Apple releases 10.7.1 soon, because I'm tired of it.

On Apple's advice, I zapped the PRAM.  Problem is gone (for know)
