Catalyst 11.6 + phoenix 1.50 + ATI-APP-SDK v2.4 (650.9) testing results

Have suddenly found out that there are Catalyst 11.6 and Phoenix 1.50 updates out. I immidiately downloaded and installed them!
As for ATI drivers I uninstalled them via ATI's official Catalyst setup manager. And then sweeped them via driver sweeper 3.1.0 in safe mode.

I am mining with GUI miner using Phoenix+Phatk on W7x64 SP1 Professional. All VGAs are in CrossFire.

VGAs are 4x5870
clocks are (core\mem) 990\300 as for the ASUS HD 5870 V2 and 960\300 as for other 3xGigabyte GV-R587UD-1GD
flags are VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false WORKSIZE=256 AGGRESSION=13

 

The CPU load is something I haven't experienced on any of my machines, what kinds of processors are you using and what OS's?


With 11.6 on Win7 64bit and an unlocked 4x Deneb core I only ever see a maximum of 15% load on one of the cores and I haven't needed the affinity locks. Strange?

 

results are

423 Mhash\sec for Gigabyte cards and 436 Mhash\sec for ASUS card.
Update:
Changed mem clocks to 365 for all cards and got + ~2.5 Mhash\sec.

On my machine there's only high CPU load with aggression=10 or higher.
With lower aggression there's almost no CPU load.
This is with Win 7 64bit, Athlon 64 X2 6000 and a single 6870 card.
