there's cuda toolkit, newer nvidia driver and this SDK available
I wonder if any improve mining performance

Strange.

yup i remember at least 150mhash with ufasoft miner
Haven't tried that out yet. But I guess I've pretty much maxed out the GTX's power by now. Thought about selling it for a Radeon, but that wouldn't pay off, either.Quote
do you edit video ?
I actually did quite a lot back in "the days" with Adobe Premiere 10(? - around 2000), but today it's down to occasional hobby projects. Sony Vegas is quite fun to mess around with, tho. 
I have a GeForce GTX 570.
Best results in GUIminer were with RPC-CUDA at about 126 Mhash/s. With overclocking I get as high as 157 Mhash/s. (Pools report higher rates.)
I'm currently testing Bitminter's pool and also their client. It reports rates at ca. 167 Mhash/s, but looking at the pool's stats, on average it's about as fast as GUIminer/CUDA.

getting up to 132Mhash with my overclocked 680 on bitminter (running 3 monitors, probably get more if I had only 1 monitor)
it's calling it OpenCL GPU though and using 8% of my cpu.
Another detriment, I can't set aggression level to use my PC while mining which is the point with this GPU

using bitparking for some reason, i had it 4hrs and it doesnt' look like it was added to my account on the pool
What's your username on the pool and I'll look it up. Are you sure you used the correct username, with the correct case?Same as on here

120Mhash! same as ufasoft with aggression 5
94-98% gpu usage after i removed the 'aggression' parameter
now 126.6->127 Mhash/s
aggression=10 is yielding 132->134 Mhash/s
aggression=11 130->134 and computer is almost unusable, slow display changes
INFO I have an overclocked 4GB GTX 680
I didn't create the miner. I just got it working with newer cards~ You can find the thread for the mining software here:

Try -user=something instead of -user something
Same thing for the other parameters.

Going a bit further this time but I am receiving a Visual Studio related error, something like vectors out of range.
Could be my dusty Wndows installation though...

Check the port, url and user/pass. It works fine when connecting to bitclockers.
can you test other pools and let me know which works, i have a lot of accounts but not that one
I copied directly from a working script my user/pass

I see, thanks and corrected.

Everything is terrible with GTX 680 and newest NVIDIA drivers
Ufasoft is only miner that doesn't crash display driver or crash itself
around 120MHash overclocked, uses about 100watts additional power from idle
one of the miner's showed 127Mhash, forget which one maybe Phoenix, but all these crash after closing:
GUIMINER with phoenix
GUIMINER with OpenCL
GUIMINER with CUDA (rpcminer)
Phoenix 1.7.5 program freezes after a few seconds
Phoenix 2 - 123Mhash, freezes on close
Diablo Miner - 121Mhash with 98% GPU usage. throws a bunch of Invalid solution errors and says hardware error
CGMiner program just crashes before hashing (don't think supports CUDA)

With overclocking I can go as higher as 150Mh/s.
That being said, there is no point in mining with an Nvidia card, except maybe if you have free electricity or plan to mine at CoinLab.
Check your CPU usage. It doesn't support cuda; it supports opencl which nvidia also supports.
