This blue stripes business is most probably an issue between the drivers and the 6xxx series architecture, otherwise we would all get the blue stripes. However, it's only the 6xxx series that gets it, every other Ati card that meets the system requirements doesn't have this problem.
AMD or Nvidia have not been releasing driver fixes for Cliffs of Dover because the engine itself is just too buggy and is/was not supporting DirectX standards (no true fullscreen until recently was a big mistake). There are so many existing graphical artefacts on everyone's copy of the game that it is hard for them to determine what is their fault and what is Maddox Games.

Proof in point, Maddox Games is supposably supported by Nvidia yet we have not seen any driver updates from Nvidia showing support for Cliffs of Dover. Nvidia SLI still won't work with Cliffs of Dover, yet Crossfire does. Maddox Games has to fix their engine first before we'll see any driver fixes from either company.
