Google Chrome not rendering webpages correctly
I am facing some serious web page rendering issues with Chrome. It is more prominent during javascript based animations and stuff on websites like youtube. I have tried removing chrome using (sudo apt-get purge google-chrome-stable) and then reinstalling it. But the problems still persist. The same webpages work correctly on firefox on ubuntu and chrome on windows. The problem only shows up when I use chrome on ubuntu.
I think the issue has started after I updated to the latest version of Chrome. I have used Chrome previously on this machine without any problems.
I have attached a image that demonstrates the issue.
What could possibly be the problem?

The issue was with the graphic drivers.
I downloaded and installed the latest driver from AMD and now everything looks fine.
Thanks to @tijybba.
For me, this helped:
- Download latest beta drivers from AMD website.
-
Uninstall ATI drivers:
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx
-
Reinstall xorg:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-radeon
- Reboot.
-
Install new beta drivers:
sudo sh beta_drivers_name.run
- Reboot and Chrome works fine.
- Remove "AMD testing use only" logo (optional): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2076381
