Heureka! Grin So the issue was software drivers: following the instructions at http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/1c4n7i/guide_getting_started_with_n_x_radeon_7950_on/ and updating my AMD drivers (Step #8) did the trick .. but now I've another problem: Overheating  Shocked

Hot GPU:

Code:
GPU 0: 593.7 / 466.6 Kh/s | A:14  R:0  HW:0  U:2.61/m  I:20

Cold GPU:

Code:
GPU 1: 596.8 / 590.7 Kh/s | A:27  R:0  HW:0  U:5.04/m  I:20
72.0 C  F: 37% (2138 RPM)  E: 1100 MHz  M: 1500 Mhz  V: 1.090V  A: 99% P: 20%

Although the upper RPM is crazy the heat conduction does not seem to be as great as the lower GPU; I opened my case to increase air circulation but does not seem to help that much .. I think I'll replace my GPU 0 which is a fat ASUS with a thinner Sapphire to have more space for air circulation, or just rip everything out of the case and put them into an open laundry basket or something like that.
