Try cgminer.
All instructions and info can be found in that thread.

Ok, think I understand cgminer a bit better, but can't get it to connect to stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333, says "no live pool" and gpus do not start.

My command line is:
cgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u [my worker id] -p {my worker wd] --shaders 1024 --intensity 17,17,17 --worksize 256,256,256 -g 1

I tried the same command line except with --scrypt flag and connection to LTC pool, all gpus fired up and pumping 275 KH/s each.

try once with just --intensity

btw: 17 sounds very high when not --scrypt from my short experience. (not that you said what cards you have. Tongue)

I'm running three Asus HD7870DC2-2GD5-V2 gpus
tried your suggestion with command line = cgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u [my worker id] -p [my worker pwd] --intensity 10

cgminer returns the following:

probing for an alive pool
pool 0 JSON stratum auth failed: (null)
No servers were found that could be used to get work from.
Please check the details from the list below of the servers you have input
Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add a port, or have not set up workers
Pool: 0 URL: http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333  User [it's showing the right worker id]  Password: [it's showing the right pwd]
Press any key to exit, or cgminer will try again in 15s.

guiminer connects to stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 ok, but it can start all 3 gpus, only 1 does any work.

well, enough for tonight -- gotta get some sleep
