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)

Code:

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.

Now do i need a special RPC account or connects to any pool?

Nope, just a normal account.

You should just need to set -url -user -pass to get it to run. You may or may not want to change other -gpu and -aggression related options.

rpcminer-cuda.exe -url http://pool.bitclockers.com:8332 -user userhere -password passhere

btw, was able to find a 680 to test on this AM. so i know it's all working on 6xx devices now.

I will test shortly what do you mean AM? at the moment?

AM = morning, as opposed to PM

what i first thought then thought it wasn't that simple.

I just updated rpcminer-cuda today for 3.0 support. I only have a 460; so I haven't been able to try it to confirm it works... But I see no reason it shouldn't.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1191108

Only OpenCL miners crash nvidia drivers on hard exit. The cuda miners do not.

how much for you to tell me how to run it under windows?

Download and run the exe.

I didn't include all of the files. Just what is updated.

You will need to download rpcminer-win32 first for all the dlls and crap.

1) download this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/hduqoqdf3onqrod/bitcoin-rpcminer-20110227-win32bin.zip
2) unzip #1
3) Download my update: http://www.qfpost.com/file/d?g=oreaN2eXE
4) unzip #3
5) move files from #3 overtop of files from #1.

I guess maybe I should have just put the dlls and crap in my zip....

...

ALso, make sure to let me know if it works or not. I wasn't able to test it with a 6xx card... I'm curious to know..

okay did that

I open rpcminer-cuda and get error: "The program can't start because librul.dll is missing from your computer"

Rename curllib.dll to libcurl.dll

Also, it may still request curllib.dll... I'm not sure what about my project makes it look for both... but whatever.. I'll figure it out later and make another update.

You will also need msvcr100d.dll and msvcp100.dll .. I found a copy of those 2 floating around here
http://stuff.mit.edu:8001/afs/sipb/user/kolya/afs/root.afs/athena.mit.edu/software/geneious_v5.3.6/Geneious/resources/

First time ever compiling anything in windows; so cut me some slack there.

Here i made a download with everything you need. just run it with default command params for rpcminer-cuda.exe

How about selling that GTX680 and buying a 5870 with the money ?

I'm a video editor should answer your question indirectly

what works:

Ufasoft Miner, around 120Mhash
RPCMiner (mod), up to 134 Mhash
