Are they the msi gaming ones?
I know my 780 maxed out and the cpu pulls just under 300w so your 750Ti's must be pulling 65w
Nope, just the N750Ti-2GD5/OCI know my 780 maxed out and the cpu pulls just under 300w so your 750Ti's must be pulling 65w

I want new cudaminer for Maxwell , i think this card ( Nvidia 750ti ) not go at 100% , i think this GPU is more fast and go up to 400 kh/s or more , but cudaminer is not optimizer .

are you mining with your cpu aswell? that seems a little high
my xeon, 780, 2 HDD's, 2 SSD's, and a full water cooler (with 7 fans) only pulls 75W on idle, and the pump for my watercooler in 20w of that....
Nope. The entire system idles around 40W. Maybe these MSI cards are already 65W TDP... I have them overclocked by 100MHz on the GPU, and 400MHz on the memory.my xeon, 780, 2 HDD's, 2 SSD's, and a full water cooler (with 7 fans) only pulls 75W on idle, and the pump for my watercooler in 20w of that....

OK so I am getting 2.7 khash/s now, that's something.. If someone else has had success fine-tuning a 780 in Windows 8 let me know 
cudaminer.exe --algo=scrypt-jane -d gtx780 -l t12x31 -o 127.0.0.1:3339 -O user:pass -D -L 6
thats my old yacoin config, may or may not work, haven't mined yac in a good while
Cheers, I'll mess around and give that a try later.. Anyway my card will be mining more Yac than it has been overnight

PSA
I got a nice refresher course in power usage today. I was running 4x750 ti cards flashed with an unlocked TDP VBIOS, using powered USB risers, connected to a single 4-connector Molex cable. One unlocked card can pull 65.5w from the PCI express slot. Typical molex connectors have a max power handling of 187w (11A). With 4 unlocked cards, I was shoving 262w@12v down one cable. The end result:

Even at the default TDP of 38.5w (4 cards @ 154w), that's still dangerously close to the limit. Try to connect as few cards as possible to each power lead, or use a higher rated connector designed for more power, like the 6-pin or 8-pin PEG connectors.
another concerns (although it seems to work) does the usb 3.0 cable has been designed to carry large current ? I got a nice refresher course in power usage today.

(like that I would assume data transfer requires a rather small intensity and usually usb device doesn't use lot of power)

I can't run cudaMiner on Windows 8.
When I click the .exe nothing happens, no error message or anything, it won't load or show up in task manager.

you tried creating a launch config for it so it actually has something to do when it runs besides shutting off?

cudaminer.exe -s 10 --algo=scrypt-jane:YAC -d 0 -l auto -o *server* -u *worker* -p *password*
Any ideas??
put e.g. -L 6 in front of -l auto
it's all in the README file (there's a section devoted to Yacoin)
Thanks for your response, when I started I tried using the sample config in the readme, there is one in there for a GTX 780 and Yacoin, but that would crash before I could see the output. I tried adding in -L 6 in from of -l auto as you suggested, this lead to a display driver crash, I'm trying -L 3 now and it is running, but it is no longer reporting a hash rate in the command window, just waiting to see if my pool is taking shares or not, not sure so far

i plan to use one of my faithful xeon processors, 69w TDP, often never run higher then 25w when idle
my estimate does not include fans
i3-4130=54W TDP my estimate does not include fans

personally when i go to get mine, they will all be on powered risers and they will be left at their default power usage. all having their own molex power.
my entire system with 3 750Ti's on full blast should pull around 140W
that's with it maxed out! i would rather save the power bill and lose some performance. They've already shown the 750Ti will hit 1.4GHz with NO power adjustments. so why change it at all?
I'm pulling 230 watts with my stock TDP 3x 750 Tis. i3-4130, 3x 750 Tis, ssd. my entire system with 3 750Ti's on full blast should pull around 140W

I don't get why some are voluntarily going from 38.5 W to 65 W for maybe 10-15% higher kHash/s rates.
This kills Maxwells excellent power efficiency.... and apparently also PSU cable connectors.
After unlocking the TDP (and before catching fire), I was able to overclock a card to 1450MHz core/3900MHz memory, resulting in a hashrate for vanilla scrypt of 340kh/s, and still at a core temp of < 65°C.
65w is still exceptionally efficient. For me, it was to see how far I could push the card. Sometimes that means you'll burn through a card or a cable, but it's all in the name of science (or something like that). It's an interesting experiment nonetheless.
That said, one could damage their rigs even without bumping the power thresholds, and that's the point I had hoped to get across.

i'd also pay the fee, yes theoretically someone could build a fee-less binary with the source, but i think most people here would actually pay a few percent fee voluntarily if they get 10x performance compared to only cpu. i think the willingness of paying a fee is much higher than donating, especially with some of the more hardcore libertarian folks here
edit: it would also be interesting to see how many people actually use cudaminer

that would be interesting. we get a lot of people pop up when a new coin comes out, there aren't many of us that remember back at 50 or so pages. i've read more pages on this then i care to remember

is ready!
Christian, did you think about adding a fee in the program, similarly to all those protoshares miners for ypool do?
That would make it more profitable for you to share the software earlier perhaps.
Say a 2.5% fee. That would be fair.

as I stated, I haven't even begun thinking about modalities for a release yet. I am still in development mode here.
But I appreciate your input.
Whatever I do, this has to be agreed on with the other Christian
Christian
I feel you guys should add a fee in also. It is up to use,the public, to decide if we want to use miner.
I understand that it can be edited out but I feel that most people would appreciate the work from the authors and leave it alone. If it wasn't for their work we would not be making the profit.
I have been using the YPool Cudaminer that has a 3% fee. I know someone went in and changed it to that because original it was 6%. That was a little unfair on top of the 5% fee from Ypool in my opion. Well the author changed it to 6% because he had it at 10% to begin within. But the point is the person deserves some kind of copensation for their work and time put into the work involved.
JMHO.
Agreed.
I also have no issue with paying a fee.
