I know this may have been asked and answered already, but I couldn't find anything and my post got lost in the newbie forum. Please don't hate me if I did miss something or completely misunderstood the FAQ's.

I'm running a GTX 670; yeah I know NVIDIA, but I make a super small profit and I got it for gaming. I see this as more of a hobby or something like folding@home, but can make some money off of. OK, getting back on topic, no matter what driver I use (tried ~4) I can't get the CPU usage in Linux to drop from 100%. I wanted to know what if there was a particular driver that works well or something. Also, I don't quite understand the whole kernel thing for cgminer, so my next question is, is there a kernel that is better suited to a NVIDIA card like mine? I noticed there are suggestions for ATI, so I'm just throwing it out there.

Check here for what others have done to get different hardware to work and what performance to expect.

Are you trying to use OpenCL or Cuda?

CGMiner requires OpenCL
