Try a beta driver, you'll have more luck beyond 11.6 - worked for me anyhow!

I assume you are running windows?

Please try to run linuxcoin - it is a linux operating system that is entirely built for bitcoin mining - it has all of the drivers and accepts up to 8 GPUs plugged into it by default.

Try that first if you are having problems with windows, or any other OS for that matter.

Good luck!

Ok here is the deal and I need some help. Can't figure this one out. In my one miner I had a 6970 and a 5850 mining together and everything was fine. I switched the 5850 out for another 6970 and everything went down hill.

System : ASRock 1155 Extreme 4 P67
Intel i7-2600k
Gskill DDR3-1600 2x4gb
Crucial SSD 64G
Diamond 6970 2G

Ok when the 6970 and 5850 were in I would get 435MHash/s on the 6970 and 360Mhash/s on the 5850 (Very happy with that)

However once I put the other 6970 in and took out the 5850 best I can get is 380Mhash/s from the two 6970.
I have noticed in afterburner no matter what I set the clock to it jums all over from 800Mhz to 925Mhz and will not keep a stable clock. Also the mem on the cards can no longer be adjusted it has no effect.
I am really at a loss. I reinstalled 11.6 drivers and full reinstall of afterburner. No effect. Please help!!!!

Thanks
