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 21:49:15] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://netcodepool.org:3333

[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!  Smiley

Im having the same problem with four GTX 580s . I have a GTX 690 and its running at 300KH/s for -l K42x7 which was found by hand.  -D and auto tune showup nothing and cause a crash.

Cudaminer is crashing for my 580s. The only configuration that isnt crashing is -l K1x1.
Any ideas would be great!

Okay, so no tips and such? I tried more settings since my post, but none resulted into anything other than cudaminer crashes, booo's, unable to validate, etc.
I did get the card up to 22khash/s, but according to the pool I was still only at 14khash/s.
Well, I have now decided to take a different path and purchase a 2nd hand ATI 6870 card.. Maybe it's too late to get my investment back, but heck.. it's fun to try anyways  Smiley
