Hi Diablo,
I have a Radeon 6670 running on Win7-64bit and after i upgraded the Catalyst to the last version (11.8 from 11.6) my hardware errors reported are between 20% and 25% and the CPU usage is 40% to 50% (before was under 10%).

Any idea what should i do or where i should look for some info?

Thanks.
edit: forgot to mention that i use the default configuration (launched the .exe using only with the -o, -r, -u and -p options).

Try adding -v 2 to see if it decreases HW errors.

Also, newer versions of Catalyst have a CPU use bug that effects all OpenCL apps. It cannot be fixed from within the app.
Thanks, Diablo.
The -v 2 option reduced the HW errors from 20-25% to 1-2% and increased the Mhs by 12%!

With 11.9 driver I started to have 10% HW errors but the CPU usage disappeared.
I added to the previous configuration -w 128 and now it all works perfectly Smiley (HW errors <0.5%, gained another 4% MHs and CPU usage is 1%)
Thanks
