try to restart or set the -l auto and try... maybe you need to test with the -l until you get the best performance without errors in cpu check.

Thank you !
Changed the config to cudaminer.exe -H 1 -i 0 -d 0,1 -l K112x2 -m 1 -C 1
and got

It looks good, but tried those flags back with k8x24 and got

Is that looking about right now?

Hi,
I have 2 680's, and letting Cudaminer automatically find the best settings for each card individually, it tells me 16x14 is ideal - which it appears to be. If I run one of my cards at that (either one), it'll give 200+ khs.
Trying to run both cards at the same time (with -H 2 -d 0,1 -l K16x14,K16x14) and the rate drops to around 0.7 khs - whats going on?
The only config I've found that gives anything other than either <1khs or a crash is 8x24, and that tops out at about 220khs with both cards running.
Any ideas how it can be improved?
Thank you

SLI needs to be disabled from everything I've experienced. Since our cards are similar, give this a shot: -H 1 -i 0 -C 1 -m 1 -l K112x2
You dont need to specify arguments for each card if you want them to run under the same settings.

Tried it with -H 0/1 and different combinations of -C 0/1/2, 32/64bit exe ? And also disabling sli, since I don't have sli/xfire I don't know that much about the problems myself, but everywhere I've read about it people seem to say it's a bad idea when mining, no idea if it's the same or not with cudaminer though.

any progress on the optimizations the cloud miner promised to send us?
wanted to ask about the same ...
keep checking his blog for updates.

I finally got it to work. It was the stratum proxy as you said. Thx guys! Now it's time for optimization.

Hi guys, I'm in a pinch atm. I keep getting this when I launch cudaminer.
HTTP reqest failed: Failed connect to 127.0.0.32; No error. Json_rpc_call failed, retry after 15 seconds.
I already tried disabling firewall but it doesn't help. I think it has to do with my batch file but I can't figure out what exactly is wrong atm.

i had same issue and finally i got it fixed by doing this on this website--sucks that you have to use a stratum proxy but it did fix my issue and keep me from having to use the memory hog cgminer.

Misread your post at first. Thanks for the tip, I'll try that next time!

I've also noticed that if I put in an argument that cudaminer doesn't like, I have to reboot my computer since it drops my GPU clock speed to 750mhz and seems to lock it there.
Try enabling and disabling SLI in such cases. Not sure if it will help with newer nVidia cards, but works just fine for locked-after-error 480s ever since I found sometimes I manage to lock them at lower speed. December 13, 2013, 02:50:27 PM
I've been lurking this thread ever since I started mining a week ago. Thanks for all the hard work everyone has done.
I've got 2 EVGA 670 FTW OC'ed hitting 453 kh/s. Supporting hardware is an i7 3770k @4.6ghz, EVGA Z77 FTW motherboard, and 8gb of ram.
I've tried as many combinations of arguments as possible, and these 2 are getting me the same results:
-H 1 -i 0 -C 1 -m 1 -l K14x16
-H 1 -i 0 -C 1 -m 1 -l K112x2 <- way more consistent
About 220-230 kh/s on each card.
I've also noticed that if I put in an argument that cudaminer doesn't like, I have to reboot my computer since it drops my GPU clock speed to 750mhz and seems to lock it there.
I'm hoping for some more K20 optimizations in the future!

Hi Christian, me again. dunno if im barking up the wrong tree here but if i reduce the amount of cuda threads, i.e:
'case 16: fermi_scrypt_core_kernelA<16><<< grid, threads, 0, stream >>>(d_idata); break;'
Say i set threads to say 256 (<512). theres a massive increase in speed... But quite a few errors.
Why the errors?

You're asking basically: if I break the program there's errors. Why are there errors?
short answer: because you broke it
long answer: because you only compute half the requested results with 256 threads.

Power settings are all ok (off or at max where it should be). Hardware acceleration that triggers in chrome is MAYBE the case, but how can I set windows to trigger GPU's full potential in console (DOS) window?
Other question is already posted: why it is still running fine even AFTER I close Chrome (after Cudaminer start)? That trigger then remains in "ON" state or what?...
My other rig with GTX 760 never does that (same nVidia driver, same Windows settings)?!

I assume this is related to the different performance levels of your Nvidia card. I got a similar issue, if a pool I'm mining for has overload, then the hashrate decreases and I get frame drops with animations in my Chrome browser because the GPU load is not high enough to switch to the next higher clock profile.
Guess this could be fixed using the tool Nvidia Inspector, it comes together with a tool named "Multi Display Power Saver", which is made to prevent running the graphics card at higher profiles than necessary when using multiple displays and therefore save energy.
But there you can configure applications that always trigger the highest available clock profile for your GPU, so you could add your miner there and the GPU should always use the full clock when your miner is running.

I noticed the same thing just now. Rebooted machine (Win7 x64 SP1), started cudaMiner, and the speed was much worse than what it was supposed to be. Also, GPU-Z said that GPU load was only at 78%. Immediately after I started Chrome the GPU load rose to 99% and cudaMiners' speed returned to the expected level. Would be interesting to know what's causing this...
I'd double down on power saving settings, since IIRC, Chrome is hardware accelerated by default on most machines.
