Ok, so one of my Gigabyte 7950's died and it was RMA'd with a 7970.  When I try to run the 7970 this is what I see in cgminer (I unhooked the 7950's to help troubleshoot):



Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it?  I've tried different versions of cgminer.

The drivers are good and the device is detected properly.  Here is the output from aticonfig:

Code:
root@bmoconno:/# aticonfig --list-adapters
* 0. 01:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series

* - Default adapter
root@bmoconno:/#

and here is the output from cgminer with the -n flag:

Code:
root@bmoconno:/# cgminer -n

Thanks!

vga bios ver? conf file? model of the card?

It's a Gigabyte 7970 Windforce 3 running the stock BIOS, hasn't been flashed to a new one yet.

As far as config, I'm running it bare minimum until I figure out what's going on:

Code:
./cgminer --scrypt -I 13 -g 2

Also, I've tried a dummy plug and an actual monitor.  The card works (I can see the desktop) and isn't artifacting or anything like that.

Incase it isn't obvious from the picture... the GPU isn't reporting back TEMP or FAN RPMS.  It also isn't accepting any settings for engine or memory, all ranges are listed by cgminer as 0-0.

It won't take, the ranges listed by cgminer are 0-0.

When I try to input any value I get the "Value is outside safe range, are you sure?" prompt, I hit yes, then I get "Failed to modify engine clock speed".

if so, than there are two options

1. driver mess
2. broken card

if all other is fine, i mean at least external power for card, and other pc components

Yeah, I don't know what's going on.  I tried different drivers and the card works perfectly in a windows machine.  Undecided
