P: Rendering issues: pixelated image while making adjustments or brushing

Lightroom 4.3 final (on Windows 7 64bit, with an ATI Radeon HD5450, latest Catalyst 12.10 drivers) gives me some really weird rendering issues in the Develop module that were not present in the RC ("beta 6").

As long as I hover over the knob of a slider after making an adjustment, the image is not properly updated/refined and stays in an unrefined/pixelized state. This happens with ALL sliders in all sections of the Develop module. It was working in LR 4.2 and LR 4.3RC.

What's more, when I use the local adjustment brush, I see a MUCH larger area than the size of the brush affected initially as I add a brush stroke; only when I release the mouse button the adjustment is rendered correctly. Again, this too was working in LR 4.2 and LR 4.3RC.

Things I have tried: update/revert the graphics drivers (I tried a total of FOUR different driver versions). Update/revert the mouse driver. Delete the ACR cache. Start with a fresh catalog and no plugins, just adding something like 100 photos. Nothing helps.

To say the least, it is ANNOYING that something like the rendering in the Develop module is changed from an RC to a final version when it has such a MAJOR impact. It renders LR 4.3 final practically unusable for me; I've reverted to the 4.3 RC (which is faster and more responsive than 4.2 was).

    C17 sucks big time, crashes, crashes, crashes. I can't even import my whole library. I've tried aperture, it's just not quite there, photo ninja has potential, DxO is kinda neat, but I keep coming back to lightroom. They're close, but not great.

    I have to agree Noah... the whole 4.x series doesn't taste quite right. Too many bugs slipped through into release versions. Worse if it's bugs that were fixed in the RCs...

    I'm test driving Capture One 7 Pro at the moment because of that, and I'm a Lightroom user since v1.x...

    Someone for adobe contacted me, I emailed them my files, XMP, made a video of it, etc. they can't reproduce it. Oh well, maybe when I pay to upgrade to version 5, they'll fix it.

    So far my favorite version of lightroom was 3.6

    This is marked as solved because it WAS solved in 4.4 RC, but then reappeared in the final.

    I don't think that anyone from Adobe is still paying attention to this topic.

    Oooops, in this case it is something else.
    In my case, Lightroom 4.4 have the above issues when I work with a Secondary Display; when I am on notebook PC there is no problem.
    (It may have to do with the graphics card. It is Intel).

    And:
    Why does it write "SOLVED" for this topic on the top???

    What do you mean with "external monitor", Serkan? A secondary display? I am using a desktop computer and only have one monitor, connected via DVI.

    I use LR 4.4 final

    I remeber facing this problem, when using ONLY the external monitor. Is it the same same case for you?

    I just unplugged and re-plugged the monitor it seems working. However this cannot be the solution.

    However I don't remember the solution.
    It could have benn related to monitor profiles, graphics card, color profiles etc.
    Sorry don't remember.

    Once again, Adobe screwed it up in the final! I can't believe this.

    In 4.4 RC, changes are rendered fine when I adjust the sliders. In 4.4 final, I have to move the mouse AWAY from the slider for it to render the refined adjustments! It was FIXED in the RC, and it's BROKEN again in the final! Why are these functions being touched again when people report HERE that they are fixed in the RC?!?
