Happens after loading a new map. With frequency of approximately in 1 case out of 20

Corruption could take various forms, like when geometry (vertices) of various objects becomes linked, or when just half of screen is black with weird flowing b&w patterns. It's view dependent - if you turn your head, it could disappear.

Never happened with 12.10 drivers, for 15 days I used them.

I had similar corruptions w/ 13.1 on a HD7850 card; In my case it helped disabling the hl2_linux profile in /etc/ati/atiogl.xml
