So I switched the miners on guiminer so that the opencl miner (with the framerate setting) was on the other gpu, and the phoenix miner (max settings) was on the first gpu. Now I can game while mining with both cards again.

Nevermind, I figured it out. When the driver updated, it switched my desktop screens so that monitor 1 which was on gpu 1 is now gpu 2, and monitor 2 is now gpu 1. GPU 2 I was using the phoenix miner at max settings, and my gaming is done on monitor 1 so it was not the right gpu that was set with the framerate setting.

I have an OpenCL miner set up on guiminer with the flags -v -w128 -f90
Until today, it was great: My hashrate was near the max I could get out of on any miner with any settings, and when I started gaming it would reduce the hashrate by about 30-40% to ensure my game ran smoothly. It was awesome and worked perfectly, I could keep the miner going and it would seemlessly hash at the max rate or lower if I was gaming, I could either be gaming or not gaming and it would adjust itself fine. And my game ran as smoothly as if I wasn't mining at all.
My drivers notified me today (Windows 7) that there was an update to the catalyst package, so I updated (from 11.6 to 11.7).
Mining performance hasn't changed perceptibly while not gaming, but now the "-f" flag seems to do nothing. Whether it's set at -f90 or even -f240, I run my game and it does NOT drop the hashrate, it still hashes at the maximum rate, and my game lags so horribly as to be essentially unplayable.
Any ideas???
