oh for crying out loud... here https://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/GTX670DC2T2GD5/

As I just said in my last post, your model was the card I was comparing against when I did the percentages. You get ~23% higher khash rates with ~15% higher of a clock speed, which I just don't understand.

[ManIkWeet]

Did you try multithreaded cpu hashing? (-h 1)

[blackraven1425]

I'm running with -d 0 -l K7x32 -C 1 -H 1 right now.

On GPU-Z does it show any cap other than GPU usage?

Other than a really high temperature, I see not much problems.
My card runs 75C with 55% fan

Yeah, the case doesn't have the best airflow, and it's sitting above a Radeon that's always mining, so the slightly high temp isn't a surprise. It's also why I don't OC the card. What is a surprise is that extra % you get per clock vs what I get, on the same or similar settings.

[ManIkWeet]

What happens if you temporarily disable the Radeon?

I just tried it. After about 10 minutes, the GPU temp is hovering between 77-78C. That's all, hash rate is the same.

[ManIkWeet]

Okay then I have no clue, all I can say is that I have a hashrate of 275k when I use GPU sha256 hashing (so -h 2), perhaps these results do scale properly?

EDIT: I am off to bed now

I'm not using -H 2 though, I'm using -H 1. -H 2 lowers my hash rate very slightly.

My mining pool went down while I was mining with CudaMiner.
It was down for 17 Minutes and then came back online.

Just want to say, that CudaMiner did a great job and it started to mine again as soon as the pool was back online.
Well done. Timeouts are working great and it did start without any high delay or problems.

still, these 17 minutes are lost time. I really want to integrate some failover. Just the day I started mining on hashco.ws they suffered some bad outages (DDOS?). Failover would have helped a lot.

It'd be a relatively big task, but IMO, a fork of CGMiner with the CUDAminer code built into it or CUDAminer with a similar interface would be perfect, particularly for switching pools at will and being able to adjust some parameters on the fly to try and tweak the cards for best performance. The original CPUMiner was a good base to start from for this project, but maybe it's time to consider an improved interface.

Both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions crash on my Windows 7 system:

Have you got the latest nvidia drivers? I had the same when on old drivers.

Just updated to the latest WHQL 331.82, rebooted, and it still crashed.

Try passing a launch configuration like -l L16x3. would it still crash?

Christian

I had this problem before

Auto-tuning crashed when I ran with more than 1 card, try running with -d 0 just to get the best config
Then run with -d 0,1 -l <best config from auto-tuning>

Crashed with -d 0
Works with -l L16x3:

It would be nice to have the ability to mine with a failover. I tried poking around in the code, but everything i did effected the hashrate so i left it.

it probably won't be me doing this fork. the cpuminer code is fairly elegant and minimal - this is why it is so easy to work on it.

With CGMiner you probably need to be an Einstein to get something integrated.

I happy without the interface, I'm just loving that you turned my good card (for work and my research needs) into a better miner when i'm not mining it. Just hope there is more you can squeeze out the little bugger.

I'm not using -H 2 though, I'm using -H 1. -H 2 lowers my hash rate very slightly.

I think that would be the difference then. Also I run 64bit and use the latest beta drivers.

[beachking2000]

Kinda curious their what your getting with your 660ti on its stock speed their cbuchner1 I get about 250khash/s off the start then it drops to maybe 247khash/s. Im using the 12-18 version. Would I see a decent improvement compiling off the github? And whats  a stock gtx 460 get roughly for hash rate?

I'm happy too with current cudaminer interface (or lack off). The only thing I wanna see is an API level similar to cgminer, to have decent monitoring tools.

BTW, my config :
-Geforce GTX 460 1Gb, OC 850 / 2100, stock air cooling, 82°C. 135 kh/s with --hash-parallel 1 --interactive 0 --texture-cache 2 --launch-config F7x16

I use --hash-parallel 1 instead of 2 because with the new release (2013-12-18), the temp is going over 85°C and I dont want that.
