I get the same ground poly problems that you seem to be getting with your new ATI driver, except I've been getting them for some time now. It actually only seems to be the airfield polys that are affected but you'll often see it with airfields that are a long way away, to the extent that you can't see the airfield itself but only the displaced polys as they sick up through the haze, sometimes to many tens of thousand of feet. Are you able to fly at night i.e. when the sun is below the horizon? If I try flying in these conditions FG starts but crashes once I get a few hundred feet in the air and I think this is also due to the ATI drivers.
