Troubles with fglrx + Radeon HD 3470

Hi all, I used open source driver until a few days ago but I wanted to improve graphic performances so I tried to install and configure Catalyst driver through the catalyst repository. Now the graphic environment(Gnome 3) works but animations are slow and if I force the the use of Gnome Shell it present a lot of artifacts.

The following are some useful (I hope) outputs:

xorg.conf (generated by aticonfig):

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "aticonfig Layout"
    Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Module"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
    Option        "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
    Option        "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
    Option        "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
    Driver      "fglrx"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
    Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
    Monitor    "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
    DefaultDepth     24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

I hope someone will be able to help me, thanks in advance and sorry if my English isn't good.
