The CUDA miner should always show 0% or 1% cpu usage since it's, well, using your graphics card :-)
Give the Phoenix miner a try. It has yielded the best results for me out of all the miners. Also, have you overclocked your 460 yet? Paste your GPU-Z here if ya have, would love to see what yours is running stable at!
Topic: CUDA Mining with a GTX 460 (Read 10247 times)
Hm, if you're only getting 8.5 Mhash my guess is that the GPU mining isn't kicking in and it's just using your CPU. Which miner are you using?
I get 65-70 Mhash on my overclocked 460.
That's weird, because I was using a CPU miner at the same time, which was also pulling about 9Mh, and on task manager it showed it was using all the CPU, while the CUDA miner was using 0.I get 65-70 Mhash on my overclocked 460.
I'm using GUIminer, with puddinpop's CUDA miner.

You're doing this on Windows? Make sure the NVIDIA CUDA drivers are installed and the GTX 460 drivers, that should be all you need!
Thank you very much, I wasn't aware CUDA needed separate driver.I'm only getting about 8.5 Mhash though, is this normal, or are there flags I should use to increase performance. On the chart it says a GTX 460 should pull about 60 Mhash.

I'm trying to use puddinpop's CUDA rpcminer to mine with my GTX 460 in GUIminer, but it won't go past 'Connecting'. I'm able to use the 4way and CPU miners fine. Do I need to install certain drivers or add a flag or something?
Sorry to bother you guys; any help is much appreciated.
