Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux]
What seems apparent already is that there is no 20-30% speed gain. Weird.
On a non overclocked 780Ti I was going from ~440 kHash to 487 kHash (a 10% improvement)
On a GT 750M I was going from 55 kHash/s to 59 kHash/s (no texture read caching implemented so far)

Well a 10% increase is better than a kick in the teeth
Just a question, would it not be worth trying to contact the author and ask him if he can take a quick look and see if there are any other improvements he could make for us?
We're chatting. I suspect that what it's going to come down to is:
- OK speedups on some cards (5-10%) using Cuda 5.0
- Decent speedups on some other cards (20%) using Cuda 5.5
- Really good speedups (80%) on some low-cuda-core-count mobile platforms using Cuda 5.5.
It's a little tricky, though - there's something in my code that really likes Cuda 5.5, and the previous code targets Cuda 5.0 in order to be more widely usable. Likely nothing that can't be solved, but it may take some work.
Thanks to both Christian and Dave for all the hard work!
Anxiously awaiting your masterpiece on two GTX 660's
