I've installed on a 64 bit Windows 7 System with Catalyst 11.7 & AMD APP 2.5 installed. I have 3 * 6970 cards installed. However, when I execute with 'python atitweak -l', it only list the first card.
Could you help extend it to show all the cards in Windows?

I've never seen that behaviour before. atitweak is just printing information returned by the driver dso. Is it possible that your xorg.conf is incomplete? Mine looks like this:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
There should be one ServerLayout section and one Device/Screen/Monitor sections for each card. You can get the PCI addresses with lspci.Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
I just wanted to say thanks for posting your config. I have two 5850's and it was only seeing one. A simple X configuration problem, nothing to do with atitweak (damn awesome by the way), but having your config to model it on was most helpful in getting a system which sees both cards.

Yes I have tried --adapter=all option. It returns only the first card.
If I manually set parameter and specify device (-A 1, -A 2...), it returns nothings.

What is odd is that it is reporting the same information for both GPUs. The BIOS engine clock range for the 5850 is up to 1000MHz, yet it reports it as 950.
Not sure what is going on, but Windows version seems a bit buggy.

Thanks for the shortened syntax, will save me a couple lines now. I wrote how to use atitweak in to the overclocking wiki for linuxcoin a couple weeks back, gives a general overview of other overclocking utilities as well, I still must say, atitweak is the best. Only problem I still have is I can't underclock memory on my 6850 more than 100mhz from core, and 125mhz on my 6950. Anybody have a good workaround for this yet? My 5770 is working great at memclock 275 though.
Take a look 2 posts back (#60) for 6950 mem. Your wiki still has the 8 line code?? I think people overtype a lot. If you don't specify -P it will set all performance levels, and if you don't specify -A it will set all adapters. Here is my code for 5 6950's on BAMT:
Code:
atitweak -e 900 -m 800 -f 80
This sets everything for all 5 cards, and all performance levels - just make sure you know stable clocks before you set all performance levels. I love atitweak, simple and helps me custom set everything on my cards. Also lets me check what clocks actually stick. Great tool! The shortened syntax rocks(took me a sec to figure out though), saves time when I am testing out new cards or trying higher or lower clocks. Here is what I run right before I begin mining.

Excellent tool. Thank you.
Allows me to check status with ssh without worrying about X issues.
One thing I'd love to see is a one-line brief status output for logging.
It would be handy to set up a cron to log to file every 5 minutes.
Ideally, just values in columns so it's easy to auto process further.

Maybe it's the model of card or motherboard? I have 11.6 with OD enabled and all my cards will default back to 1250 mem with aticonfig, atitweak, and AMDOverdriveCtrl.
Yeah mine does the same thing. I have a HD 6950. The memory clock will under clock but as soon as I start mining it defaults back to the stock clock.
There's two things going on. First, with the default BIOS, you cannot have more than 125MHz between the core and memory clocks, eg 900/775 works, 900/770 goes and switches back to 900/1250. Second, you must use something like AMDOverdriveCtrl to modify the ranges, if you wish to tweak the memory clock below 1250 otherwise it will have an enforced range of 1250-1325. What I do is fire up AMDOverdriveCtrl to change the peaks so that I can OC and then leave that up and running and use aticonfig for the rest.

Update your drivers. You can do that with aticonfig too, if you use >=11.6 drivers.
Code:
aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-setclocks=900,700
If aticonfig can do it, so can this

Maybe I missed while skimming the thread, but has anyone tried this on 69xx series hardware?
Curious if this gets around the 'memory clock must be >= gpu clock - 125mhz' issue..
Someone indicated in another thread they were able to use it successfully on a 6990, I'm more curious about 6950 / 6970's
I've tried this on my 6970 and no, it doesn't get around that issue. I still have to set memory clock >= gpu clock - 125.
But this tool is definitely easier to use than aticonfig.
