Thanks for the info will definitely try that.
Here's another question: I have a gtx 460 lying around is it possible to stick that into my current pc and have it mine while not interfering with the 780 which i use for gaming and mining? If so is that possible with a radeon card?
How do you differentiate between them via cudaminer? How can you make each bat file only operate one specific graphics card?
Yes, you can build the GTX 460 in. It won't do very much though, compared to your 780. Specifying the card works via the -d parameter (-d 0 for primary card, -d 1 for secondary card)... see readme.txt
The Radeon might be more difficult, I think nVidia's and AMD's drivers don't like each other very much.
A GTX 460 will get between 40-50 khs, I don't find it worthwhile to use this card for Scrypt. Scrypt-Jane is another matter but it's not a terribly good performer even there due to low memory and not a lot of relative extra cores to take advantage of Lookup_Gap.
AMD will definitively need to be run in a different box.
