 Last month I was using  a  6850 card on an xp  system getting around 160-164 hash rate.
The motherboard fried and now I am using  the same card on a win  7  64 system with a larger power supply but only getting hash rate in the 140s.  In both cases I was using same versions of catalyst and sdk and using phoenix. 

  These are the parameters.
   -k poclbm DEVICE=0 VECTORS AGGRESSION=3

   Anyone have any idea why the drop in hash rate?

I am using this computer for other things too and can't set aggression very high.  I will be setting up a dedicated mining machine soon then I can do that. 

But can you give a reason why the hash rate would drop in the same card moving to win 7 ?

because windows 7's new desktop rendering system uses the videocard, unlike XP.

try switching off aero and see if the hash rate improves.

That seemed to help quite a bit, thanks.  Leave it to MS to screw things up. 

It reminds me of that 3d pipes that used to zap cpu.

How is Microsoft actually using the graphics capabilities of your machine to make the O/S look better and be more functional, "Screwing things up!"?

If you don't have a use for it, shut it off.

The hash rate on the windows 7 machine is going from 164 down to around 134.  It doesn't stay at one level for that long.
I thought that it was fixed because for a while it was staying at 164 but then it tanked down to 134 and stayed there for a long time. 
It seems to spend more time at the 134 level than at the higher ones. 
I have turned off Aero.  Anyone have any other ideas what might be causing the lowering hash rate?

Seems reasonable to me. +1

On one of my W7 rigs the hashrate of a card drops about 30mhash due to a too low memory clock. After I bump it up about 50mhz it stays at a constant hashrate.

Could be a buggy card though, I only have it happen to one.
