Title: 11.7 best download?
Post by: NetTecture on July 11, 2011, 10:35:00 PM
My new mining rig - 11.7 using - crashes even when nto mining after half an hour.

Before trying to downgrade - anyone can point me to the best version for trying getting 11.7 stable? I hear there is a preview and a bbeta, but have no idea which one is better.

Thanks

It's not stable yet. Get 11.6 and see if you're having issues with that.

well i have an issue with a corrupt mouse cursor on one machine so I think I will try this, but will this hotfix help the dummy plug issues?

Try the preview drivers of 11.7. Or you can wait, July is almost over and 11.7 is just right around the corner. Although I have been using 11.7 Preview Drivers and had no problems aside from the benefit of using NO Dummy Plugs. =)

When using 11.7 with no dummy plug, can you use msi afterburner to overclock?  When I run afterburner, I can't seem to apply any of the overclock changes I make.  If I put the dummy plugs in then afterburner works.

You have to set the unofficial overclock in the .cfg file: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?s=f0272020023a63fdb80facd222637f25&t=338906 (http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?s=f0272020023a63fdb80facd222637f25&t=338906)

Also, you may have more luck using both afterburner and Trixx as I have. De-synchronize the cards and set the speeds separately.

Yeah, I did the unofficial overclock.  But when I run msi afterburner, it comes up with 0 mhz for gpu, 0 for memory.  When I move the slide to the right and click apply, it just goes back to 0 mhz and 0 speed for memory.

Just use Trixx to OC and afterburner to monitor, it's what seems to be the best.
