CPU bug NOT fixed. Where once I could trick it into not using 100% CPU when running one card, now I can't. Always 100% CPU no matter what configuration (1 card, or 2 cards).
this, I switched back to 11.6 within seconds of installing it

Wasn't that already the case in Linux? So there are no real changes for non-windows users?

Still no word on Linux drivers right?
Not much yet... biggest diff. from 11.6, that dummy plugs are yesterday, you can forget them. August 01, 2011, 03:27:03 PM

Someone likes 11.7, someone hates it...
I do update the All-in-1 packages to 11.7 CAP1 app profiles, and publish the AGP hotfix ones...

on windows 7-64 (home premium) using a HD5770 the 11.7 gained me 4mhs.. but forced one of the cpus to 100% (no matter affinity)
- I restored the 11.6 and lost the small gain but also lost the cpu running out of control. (AMD X2/ASUS board/690G/SB600)
on windows 7-64 (pro) using a HD6950 the 11.7 gained me a good 10mhs and I don't appear to have any cpu's running out of control (no matter affinity) - left 11.7 in place. (AMD X6/ASUS board/890FX/SB850)

11.6 -> 11.7 experiences.
I no longer need dummy plugs.
Very minimal hash speed increase (3 x sapp extreme 5830) 966.8 -> 967.0
Still 100% CPU, so affinity to 1 core still needed to save electricity.

How do I know which versions of the tools were installed for Win7 x64? When I use the Catalyst Install Manager to see which components were installed, I see the following versions.
Driver version appears correct. See http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/15407/ for more info.
Topic names tells all I want to say atm, post your results!
- No change in hash-rate (4x6770)
- No change in temperature readings (when ambient room temperature the same)
- No longer need for dummy plugs or resitor hacks
- 100% CPU issue still present

The results for me are pretty crappy... no gain in performance but the temperature of both of my 2 5870 increased by 5°C !
Nothing changed besides installing new driver... so take it with a grain of salt...

I tried 11.7 under linux and it was a disaster: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=32520.0

I noticed no difference (in relation to mining), just the same as the 11.6....

How do I know which versions of the tools were installed for Win7 x64? When I use the Catalyst Install Manager to see which components were installed, I see the following versions.
- APP SDK Developer 2.4.595.10
- APP SDK Runtime 2.5.684.213
- ATI Display Driver 8.872.0.0000
However if I query the display adapter properties, Windows reports a driver version of 8.872.0 with a date of 7/7/2011.
Does anyone else have these versions after installing the new toolkit? For what its worth, I uninstalled the previous set of components, rebooted, and installed the new set.

CPU bug not fixed for me

Did the full release do anything for the CPU bug? If it's using more RAM I get the impression it did not.
11.7 preview fixed the CPU usage bug for me, with Win7 x64.
I'm in Win7 x32 and the preview ("11.6B" which came up as 11.7 once installed) did not fix it unfortunately.

any improvements for linux?
I speak no americano.... seriously, I don't had any linux mining rig (yet), so I don't know...
No linux specific feedback yet.
