Get these drivers : http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspxGet this software : www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=3878.0 (does suport phoenix + phatk) Install drivers, unpack the guiminer, launch it, go to File -> New Miner -> Phoenix miner. In the next tab enter your info and in the Extra Flags tab enter the settings for your video card (I use -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=7 worksize=128 FASTLOOP=false on 6950 unlocked and overclocked). edit : yes, if you have more than one video card on Windows you will need dummy plugs, another monitor connection or a KVM switch. edit2 : after you finish installing the drivers, have dummy plugs on every card (not needed for the first video card), extend the desktop to cover all the video cards. You should have 8 video cards listed if you right click on the ati icon in system tray, extend the desktop on the 3rd, 5th and 7th video card listed there. After this all of them should appear in Overdrive and in guiminer. If you require more information you can contact me via e-mail at wtfgogu gmail.com. |

Install ATI driver.
Install ATI Stream SDK.
Install Phoenix.
Use Catalyst for overclocking (Performance->AMD Overdrive).
Underclock your RAM with the same tool
Simple, easy, efficient.
As for dummy plug, I guess your card comes with DVI->PCI-Adapter. Should work.

You can buy already made dummy plugs from here : http://cablesaurus.com/ but they're situated in the US and it will take a while for them to get to you. I can also make them for you and ship them (I'm from Romania so it shouldn't take more than 2-3 days for them to get to you). If you are interested, please PM me and we'll discuss the details. |

I have seen somewhere a register trick to avoid them but people reported it wasn't working.
Anyway first try without it, don't expect to work but could be if not you can always plug the card to a monitor, start a miner on that card and change the monitor, as long as you keep everything running you don't need to have a monitor connected real or faked.

I'd recommend installing windows + drivers with a single card in the system and then adding the other 3 + dummy plugs.
