it just says ready and doesn't do anything 
i currently have that using it as my main graphics card and my gtx660 is running in my other pci-e slot with no problem along with my 4670k but this 7950 finds a WU but doesn't do anything it just goes back to running and it repeats it again and again

ok - this is most likely because you are running both AMD and NVidia in the same rig.

 

Do you have the latest drivers for both loaded? I have had a ton of issues and never got this type of config working, although others have:

 

Some other trouble shooting. AMD is you main. Pull out the 660, uninstall the NVidia drivers, re-install AMD drivers (don't forget to reboot between each task).

 

Now, reinstall FAH over the current. Verify you can fold on 7950?

 

If so, next... install the GTX660, but not any NVidia drivers yet. See if you can fold on both?

 

At this point, hopefully working. If not - re-install FAH again - test. (remembering to reboot lots?) :)

 

Working? If not, as last resort, also install NVidia drivers and test.

 

Some other users may also have some ideas on what to try...

 

BTW - even with all that, I could not get it working myself and gave up - making a dedicated "amd" based folding rig and a "NVidia" based one.

I installed nvidia drivers then rebooted and I didn't get any video past the windows booting logo

So I booted with the 660 alone and ir worked so I got bios update and updated my bios popped the 7950 back into the first slot along with the GTX 660 in the other slot and by doing this afterburner recognized both cards and let me change setting for both cards completely ad if I had only one card at a time, then used the client-type advanced and boom it worked right away :D
