Download the files(binaries) from Raistmers link , click on the red button to download.

http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/forum_thread.php?id=1883&nowrap=true#41553

Then copy the files you use to your
c:\Programdata\BOINC\Projects\setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu_beta\ Folder
Files to copy:
MB7_win_x86_SSSE3x_CPU_r390.exe
MB7_win_x86_SSSE3x_CPU_r390.pdb
MB7_win_x86_SSE3_OpenCL_ATi_HD5_r390.exe
MB7_win_x86_SSE3_OpenCL_ATi_HD5_r390.pdb
MultiBeam_Kernels_r390.cl


Then create an app_info.xml in the same folder


<app_info>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v7</name>
<user_friendly_name>SETI@home v7</user_friendly_name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>MB7_win_x86_SSSE3x_CPU_r390.exe</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<file_info>
<name>MB7_win_x86_SSE3_OpenCL_ATi_HD5_r390.exe</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<file_info>
<name>MultiBeam_Kernels_r390.cl</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>setiathome_v7</app_name>
<version_num>691</version_num>
<file_ref>
<file_name>MB7_win_x86_SSSE3x_CPU_r390.exe</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>
<app_version>
<app_name>setiathome_v7</app_name>
<version_num>691</version_num>
<platform>windows_intelx86</platform>
<avg_ncpus>0.05</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>0.05</max_ncpus>
<plan_class>ati13ati</plan_class>
<cmdline>-period_iterations_num 10 -instances_per_device 1</cmdline>
<flops>20987654321</flops>
<file_ref>
<file_name>MB7_win_x86_SSE3_OpenCL_ATi_HD5_r390.exe</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
<file_ref>
<file_name>MultiBeam_Kernels_r390.cl</file_name>
<copy_file/>
</file_ref>
<coproc>

<count>1</count>
</coproc>
</app_version>
</app_info>


To increase performance you can adjust the "10" by lower it.
in the line
<cmdline>-period_iterations_num 10 -instances_per_device 1</cmdline>

And you can add a "-hp" to make it run in high priority.
<cmdline>-period_iterations_num 10 -instances_per_device 1 -hp</cmdline>
This can increase "lag" when completing and starting new tasks on the GPU though.

And then since you have 2 GPU you would need an cc_config.xml in your
C:\ProgramData\BOINC\ Folder


<cc_config>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>


To make use of both GPU's


I hope I got it all right and functioning here......
