With stock bios I can`t cause they lack power , but if I mine heavy I can make them run at 1300 when ram is -500.
The cards are http://www.palit.biz/palit/vgapro.php?id=2253.

Can you not get your clock higher? Which cards are they?

Thanks

Yeh i might be able to switch over later today and im sure someone else will aswell. Just post the coin, and launch config for us to test

Would it be a problem if you switch to scrypt N , when you have time, just to see the difference .
 Minig heavy with 6 cards with two cudaminer windows as you told me pulls 340w.  and if only one cudaminer window 240w. Hashrate respectively 12000 for two and 6500 for one.

your power usage does seem all over the place, currently my 3 750Ti's running at over 1.3GHz are pulling 120W mining groestl (GRS)

Ok I did some testing and removing 1 ti750 from the system led to power usage down from 510w to 420w , removing onother one led to 330w , so 330w for 4 ti 750. It is like 90w per card . I will try to remove tomorrow the others to see what will be the drop , but as i remember and stated before ,if I leave only one card on riser the system at full gpu load pulls 115w. I don`t know and understand anything about the power usage of these cards anymore. 

Using 8.x?   Windows key+X+C for a command prompt, or Windows key+X+A for elevated command prompt.  Windows 8.x is a whole lot easier to use if you remember the power of Windows key+X, and for once, finally, that damned Windows key has a good use besides kicking you out of full screen games. 

Can't find the shutdown button?  Win+X+U+U.  Device Manager?  Win+X+D.  And so on.

the current github master source code still has bugs. scrypt-jane is known to be not working.

You're essentially using an unoffical (yet unreleased) cudaminer version at this point.

Been trying to get cudaminer working with my rig and UTC.. I have no problems with VTC, PTC, or several others, works perfect. I have 2-28 and most recent 4/13 commit builds (4/13 is working really nice BTW for other coins!).. Whenever I try to launch for UTC, cudaminer shits the bed...

My rig is 6x 750Ti's.. nvidia 335.23 drivers.. Windows 7..

Here's my launch config.. To narrow down the issue, I'm trying to even just get a single card working..

cudaminer.exe -H 1 -d 0 -i 0 -C2 -l auto -a scrypt-jane:UTC -o stratum+tcp://ultra.leetpools.com:3333 -u user -p pass

I've tried different settings for above, manually setting the -l to T5x24, and many others.. no change in behavior... I get:

If I try and let it autotune, it just sits there and never comes back..

Any ideas?? I'm stumped. I've tried both builds I mention above, both 64 and 32 bit (both the same exact symptoms), and scrypt and scrypt-n work no issues.. 

ok so switching to windows 8.1 i have a few notes for everyone about power usage.
so monitoring the power usage of my RM1000 using the corsair link kit which reports the current being used by the 12V rail, here is some details on my power usage.

This is with a full watercooling set-up, and a xeon e3-1230v2. bare in mind my pump used almost 10W

Windows 7 - 84W or 7A
Windows 8 - 24W or 2A

that is with both set to balance power settings, however the windows 8 install is running a windows 7 virtual machines, yes 2 copies of windows for that power usage ;-)

My 2¢ - Some algos definitely perform better with more memory, and it's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. So if you can afford the difference in price, it's better to go ahead and get the 2gb.

Hi have problem building the miner using the ./configure. The error as below:

./configure: line 7268: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 7268: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.15.2, ,'

I have tried to search on Google but no result, any one will able to help me on this error? Try and figuar it out why and how to solve it

Power was accounted for in the calculations, but only power consumed by the cards themselves as the system would have been on anyway.  The mining is purely for hobby and I don't have any real intention of making money, just trying to see it break even at some point in the future.  Heck, I still have seven of the old 333MHash Block Erupter USBs running which may be chewing up more power than they produce in Bitcoin at this point.

Once the Script ASIC flood hits I'll probably try coins on one of the ASIC resistant algos such as Virtcoin or Execoin on Progressive-N Scrypt.  Perhaps by then there will be a good multi-pool for that algorithm like the GHash.IO multi I'm using now for Scrypt.  That does bring up the issue of will other algorithms require 2GB of memory on the card vs. 1GB.  Need to keep that in mind.  Hopefully, somebody somewhere has run tests on the different algorithms supported by cudaMiner and the GPU memory usage for each (if that is possible to track).

Also tried it works great for me

i got too use to linux's CTRL-T
haha everything is off topic lately as updates are slow due to the new method to stop AMD

What? Using a mouse or touch to fire up the command prompt? Hmmm... am I the only old school here that can't let go of the keyboard?
Try "Windows+R", type "cmd" and Enter. This is what I always do, completely instinctive after a while, and makes the most sense, since you'll be using your keyboard on the command prompt, right? 

Sorry for the off-topic btw, must stop squatting around the thread!

A year is a long time and you probably haven't factored in electricity cost.
Scrypt mining is going to be dominated by ASICs within a few months and GPUs are certainly going to be unprofitable mining Scrypt within that time.

If you want to mine coins on other algorithms, that's certainly possible, but do note it's a highly speculative venture and will require daily management to keep track of what is profitable and what is not.

If you don't particularly care about the money and are looking for a fun hobby, pick up a few GPUs.
If you're looking to make a profit, you're probably entering the game too late.

i didnt even tell office to install but because my login details have office in them it installed itself xD
i dont mind windows 8.1, i have used it for a while on laptops so i am use to it, i can having to scroll for 10 million years to load command prompt though

performance wise, it's not bad I agree... it is just impractical for a workstation (It just takes forever to find any program in the list... even Office... and for some reason it didn't even put an icon on the desktop... )
