Well... I just cannot get my GTX 280 to go above 16 khash/s and would really appreciate some help considering I should get more out of it based on the GTX 260 results.
Autotuning doesn't come up with anything. When I use -D, it shows:
D:\Litecoin\cudaminer>cudaminer -D -o stratum+tcp://netcodepool.org:3333 -O user:pass

[2013-11-29 21:49:17] GPU #0: using launch configuration L0x0
And then cudaminer crashes.
And I tried some manual settings like
-l 27x3
-l 54x3
But the end result is always the same; "result does not validate on CPU!"
What does work is
-l F27x3
-l K54x3
But the rate does not go above 16 khash/s
And I really do not know what kernel to use.. S, L, K, F,..?
The known GTX 260 setting
-l S27x3
Will then show: "using launch configuration K27x3" with the same (slow) result.
Any help is appreciated!
