Thank you very much for this great tool. It is amazing and works almost perfect. Good job!
I am new to Mining and I am using it for DogeCoin Mining right now.

My system:
CPU Intel Core i7 920 @ 3,0 GHz
RAM 6GB OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600 MHz)
GPU Gainward GeForce GTX 580 Phantom
GPU VRAM 3072 MB
VRAM Type GDDR5
GPU Clock 783 MHz
Memory Clock 2010 MHz
Shader Clock 1566 MHz
Shaders 512
GPU Idle Temp 37 °C
GPU Gaming Temp 56 °C
GPU CudaMiner Temp 74 °C (Fan speed 100%)
driver 331.82

My best settings for CudaMiner are:
cudaminer.exe -i 0 -H 1 -C 2 -l F16x16  @ 282 khash/s


The only problem I got so far, is that '-i 1' causes the display driver to crash after 10 to 15 minutes.
I don't move the mouse and do not use the computer at all, but it still crashes.
If I use '-i 0' it works just fine and 5 hours or more is not a problem.


I also have a question:
Is is possible to tweak the display driver settings in order to improve the khash/s a little bit?
I use 'nVidia Inspector 1.9.7.2' and I could change nearly everything which is stored in the driver.
So are there any values I could try to change, which could boost the speed?


Thanks for creating CudaMiner, it is very interesting for me (I am still new to mining) and I want
to learn more about the whole process and the Crypto-Coins. =)

Hello there,
I have  asus directcu ii gtx 580, and  with "cudaminer.exe -i 0 -H 1 -C 2 -l F16x16" I am getting ~320KH/s. (Driver 331.82)
Wich card do you have? Be careful with temps, open your PC case for more airflow and use also and external big fan if it is necessary.
My GPU Cock is 925MHz Fan speed 78% and GPU Temperature is 68ºC  (air temp is about 24ºC) and I am using MSi afterburner for controlling it.

Try 16x14 and see if you get a better hashrate, that's the best one so far for me at least with my 580.
For the record, 16x16 gives me around 80kH/s, and pretty much completely bogs down my windows. With x14 it's still usable even with -i 0
